Stóra-Vatnshorn

About this stay

Stóra-Vatnshorn is a family-owned sheep and horse farm renting holiday houses five hundred metres from Eiríksstaðir, the reconstructed Viking-age farm associated with Erik the Red, and seventeen kilometres from Búðardalur village itself. Each house includes free WiFi, private kitchen facilities and lake and mountain views, with a seating area and TV in the living room for evenings once the farm work has settled. Bathroom facilities are shared or private depending on the specific house booked, worth confirming when reserving. A garden with barbecue facilities gives guests an outdoor space beyond the farm itself, and hiking is a popular activity in the surrounding area. Route 1, the Ring Road, is roughly a forty-minute drive away, making this one of the few properties in the region built specifically around that detour for travellers visiting Eiríksstaðir. Reviewers rate the two-person experience 9.5.
