A functional lighthouse on the north side of Garður, Reykjanes Peninsula Iceland
Lighthouse in Iceland. What a spooky day 🙂
In southwestern Iceland, you'll find this lovely lighthouse on a cold Icelandic beach. There is a great restaurant nearby, it's also apparently a good spot for viewing the northern lights. #LifeAtExpedia
The horses in Iceland are so friendly and beautiful.

The location was great as was the cabin itself. Great amenities and very comfortable. The only downside was it had an odor of stale smoke. I’m very sensitive to that smell and that is why I only have it 4 stars
