Our stay here was fantastic. The owner was wonderful and helpful and the dinner was delicious. We stayed here on our last night in Iceland and it was the perfect spot. We saw the Northern Lights and it's right near a beautiful waterfall. They have a troll walk you can do around the property which features different troll games. I don't have kids but if i did this would be a great spot for them. They had a basketball hoop and a cabin full of games, etc. Highly recommend!
