More about this place
Vogafjós Resort offers a unique farm stay experience combined with Icelandic hospitality near Lake Mývatn. The family-owned farm, passed down for over 120 years, features a cozy guesthouse with well-furnished rooms.
You can enjoy beautiful views of the lake and witness daily farm activities such as cow milking, which takes place twice a day. The on-site restaurant, Vogafjós Cowshed Café, serves delicious home-cooked meals using local ingredients, including smoked lamb and trout, and you can even sample fresh milk directly from the cows.
The resort offers easy access to nearby attractions such as the Mývatn Nature Baths, volcanic craters, and Reykjahlíð village, making it a great base for exploring the natural wonders of Northern Iceland.
