    Great and quiet location. Comfortable for a group 6 with 3 bedrooms, 2 WC with 1 shower. Well equipped kitchen and nice comfortable living room to relax before bed. Since it’s part of the ranch, we got greeted with sheep in the morning!

    This may have been our favorite of the nine places we stayed while driving the ring road. The location is exquisite. It’s extremely private and surrounded by snow capped mountains and farmland. There are comfortable places to sit and relax indoors...

    The house was extremely charming and the owner very nice. Our teenagers loved interacting with all of the animals on the property. We loved using the hot tub at night and watching the setting sun change the color of the beautiful views!

    Great proximity to Egilsstadir and surrounding locations. Good base location for 2 days. Loved the views, size of home and watching the farm animals.

    Such a cozy little home with 3 bedrooms and one large living room. There was a snowmobile outside too but unfortunately there was nobody we could reach out to ask if we could utilize it. Lovely views from the bedroom windows and there was so much...

    The house is incredibly spacious and offered amenities like a washer dryer and a hot tub which we thoroughly enjoyed. We also loved seeing the sheep on the farm next door. It was a perfect stay for a big group like hours.

Sigurður Hlíðar Jakobsson and Helga Guðrún Sturlaugsdóttir, usually Helga and Siggi, are the farmers and your hosts at Finnsstaðir. Helga is a pharmacy technician by trade, but a host and a horsewoman by passion. Siggi is a mechanic and a jack-of-all-trades. He speaks Icelandic and Horse interchangeably but is more about translating words into action. When you drive down to the farmyard, you will most likely encounter a warm and cheerful hostess. That would be Helga, all prepared to accommodate your wants and needs.
