Monthly Rentals in Eilífsdalur

Pure Vida Mountain Lodge exceeded our expectations in every way. Lukasz was very welcoming. The home was charming and beautiful. The decor was inviting yet also possessed a museum like quality with all the really cool art, stained glass, and interesting personality of the house. We especially loved the geothermal hot tub and view. The living plants in the home were also a plus for us! We LOVED having living plants inside. The glass house over the creek bed was beautiful and the kids played soccer and on the zip line for hours while my husband and I enjoyed the sauna and hot tub. Everything about this place is amazing. Upon looking up the meaning of 'Pure Vida" I think our host nailed it. He referred to this home as his own little "Costa Rica". Pura Vida refers to a pure or simple life and embracing optimism in Costa Rica and we do believe that our host has captured all of this in his home and we are grateful for the opportunity to enjoy it.

Ylfa was amazing and helpful- grateful to have been able to stay.

The house was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Having a washer and dryer was a huge plus. Check-in was easy, and the location was simple to find. The views were stunning, and enjoying coffee on the deck each morning was a highlight. The drive to Reykjavik and nearby attractions was very manageable (about 30 minutes for most places we visited). One helpful tip: consider where you'll spend most of your time. We explored the southern coast mostly and didn’t fully realize how tiring longer drives would feel after full days out. This is by no means a downside to the house or its location—both were wonderful! It’s simply a helpful tip for others planning their itinerary: take travel times into consideration based on your daily plans. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and truly appreciated the comfort and beauty of this home and our host was great!

Beautiful and peaceful environment. Just what our family of four wanted by being close to the Golden Circle as well as a private space. Not far from Reykjavík, and only 1 hour from Keflavik airport. Would definitely choose again!
