  In the beautiful nation of Iceland, this is a must visit attraction! The beautiful mossy roofed houses and pristine chapel combine to give an exquisite sight to behold. Be sure to visit the museum when it is open for more information about the turf houses.

  Beautiful views from the property and I enjoyed meeting the Icelandic horses.

  Weren’t able to make it inside (closed right before we got there), but the outside and looking through the windows was still neat.

  It's amazing to see such a small turf houses have so many rooms in it, interesting part of Icelandic history. The place is peaceful, well maintained and have a fantastic view. Not many tourists here, we had the whole place to ourselves when we were there. There's a church next to it, but it's not open. Only down side is the admission fee of 1,400 ISK (Mid May 2017, about USD13.8 or €12.4) per person, it is steep for such a small place.

  The museum only opens June 1 so we missed the interior parts. The outdoors viewing of the church and houses is certainly worth a stop if you are nearby (Rt 1) but without the indoors I wouldn't drive out there from Akureyri, barring exceptional interest in these buildings

  Most amazing space to see. I also enjoyed seeing the desk where the Icelandic Christmas carol "No. 79" was written.

  Such a beautiful and serene place. The views are stunning ( well that is true for all of iceland) but will definitely recommend a short stopover to this place. On a bright sunny day, the place looks just stunning.

  Nice little outdoor museum. Moderate price (1200 ISK). More interesting and less crowded than the very similar museum in Glaumbaer.

  These old turf houses are really quite special! I would definitely recommend buying a ticket to go inside and look around. There are multiple rooms for different purposes throughout the compound. A real time machine back into what life was like for Icelanders in the past.
