OUR STORY
It all started in 1988 when we decided to add a second floor to our house. When the floor was ready the next year we joined the Icelandic farm holidays association and started the guesthouse business. In 2004 and 2005 we added five new rooms with private bathrooms, which are in the building behind the main building. In the summer of 2010 we build the summerhouse which is on the field behind the main building. We are still growing and building more rooms for our guests. We really hope you enjoy your stay at Skútustaðir Farm.
​
Members of the family have always taken care of all the jobs in the guesthouse: booking, reception, cleaning, washing and preparing the breakfast.
Smoking is not allowed inside and all our rooms are non-smoking.
The guesthouse is open all year round, except from December 23rd to January 6th and we also close during easter. The rooms with private bathroom are only available from May to October.
Today we have 20 milking cows and around 30 calves in all sizes. We milk the cows twice a day, at 7 in the morning and at 6 in the evening. The cows are inside during the winter time but during the summer time we try to keep them outside as often as we can. It can be difficult because of the flies. In our farm we have 250 sheep. They are inside during the winter time but after they have given birth to their lambs we take them to the mountains and we don‘t get them back until the end of august. We have six horses that are mostly used for fun but we also use them when we round up our sheep in the fall. We also have 25 chciken that walk around free, but stay inside most of the winter. We have two dogs, their names are Snati and Spori and they are very friendly.
