Stay · the origin story
Siggi's grandfather built it in the 1940s. It kept machines dry for decades. Now it sleeps people considerably better than it ever slept tractors.
The name on the sign is literal. The oldest building here is the garage Siggi's grandfather put up in the 1940s, and when it stopped earning its keep as a garage, the family rebuilt it into studio apartments rather than letting it stand empty.
The cowhouse next door has the same story with more history in it: it milked cows until the year 2000 and was rebuilt over the winter of 2016. Each apartment door is painted its own colour and carries its own name, The Henhouse, The Middle, Axel's Room.
Farm buildings were built to be warm, dry and close together, which turns out to be a decent brief for guest apartments too. Every studio is self-contained with its own kitchen and bathroom, so the character is in the walls and the doors, not in sharing anything you would rather not share.
Above them stands the Haytower, and across the yard the four-bedroom villa takes the whole-house bookings.
The buildings sit on a working farm at Varmahlíð, under Eyjafjallajökull, with the hot tub outside the main house included for all guests. Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss are about fifteen and twelve minutes away in opposite directions, which is the other reason people pick this exact spot on the map.
Questions people ask
Yes. The studios live in the rebuilt garage and cowhouse, the Haytower stands over them, and the villa is the separate house across the yard. Rebuilt means properly rebuilt: modern kitchens, bathrooms and insulation inside the old shells.
Every apartment has its own kitchen and bathroom. Cooking your own dinner after a waterfall day is half the point of a farm stay.
Each door is named for what the building or the room used to be: The Henhouse, The Middle and Axel's Room. The names came with the buildings, not from a branding workshop.
