Searching for scenic homestays in Iceland

Iceland has a small population, and accommodation is often in short supply. Vacation homes have obvious advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness and can offer unique landscapes. They are often equipped with kitchens, so you can cook your own food and save a considerable amount of money, which can reduce the cost of traveling to Iceland by a lot.
