About this property

“The Lava House” Vacation Home in Downtown Lava Hot Springs, Idaho

Located in the quaint village of Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, Viva La Vida is a 2-level, 4-bedroom, 2 bath, 2 kitchen vacation home with all the charm and comforts you'd expect.

Our little town is a great place for a getaway. Ride a tube down the Portneuf River as it winds through town, enjoy the local indoor and outdoor olympic sized swimming pool, speed slides and a Kiddy Cove. Spend time soaking in the natural hot springs, hike, bike, fish, golf, zip-line, horseback ride in the hills, or rent an ATV or snowmobile. We invite you to relax, recharge and rejuvenate here in our quiet little town. !

We love to meet all of our guests and do a brief personal check-in service to familiarize you with the features of the home. The person who rented the home will need to be present with a valid credit card and Driver's License per our rental agreement and security deposit policy. This is in addition to the security deposit with Airbnb. Read the rental agreement prior to booking.

Perfect Location
The house was in excellent condition. It was by far the cleanest home away rental I have stayed in, which I greatly appreciate. The property owners go above and beyond with bedding, bath towels, blankets, and a fully loaded kitchen, everything you have at home to cook with you will find here. The location was perfect. Tons of parking. I can’t say enough good things about this rental. We will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your Lava gem with us.
