Hotel details first and then some more extras:
AMAZING views, so cozy and the details were amazing. The bathroom was like a spa, robe and all. Her home cooked dinner might have been the best meal during our week long trip in Iceland. Be sure to check out the small shop with sheepskins (from her farm!) and other handmade goods - shop small and local! We wanted to stay for several more days for R&R. Really a hidden gem. And - if you have a loose itinerary, definitely ask her for advice along your road trip!
Now for the extra details of how amazing the hosts are:
We had a bit of a rough journey to Dalahyttur, as we got a flat tire about 75km away after driving on some gravel roads. I called the owner to let her know we would be late for dinner and she tried everything she could to find someone to help us, as our rental car company had lots of fine print (which would have made it $1500 USD to help us). We ended up changing the flat and making it to her property in howling winds and pouring rain.
We checked in and she had her husband attempt to fix our flat outside in the rainstorm. When it didn’t work because the tire was too messed up, she called a personal favor in to a friend in the town over to meet us on a Saturday (when everything is closed) to sell us a new tire and change it out on our car. She really went above and beyond. You won’t regret this booking.
