About this property

Moonlight Cottage is located on Main. Just a minutes walk to anywhere in Lava

This peaceful cottage is perfect for any type of getaway. A family vacation, a romantic retreat, or maybe after this tough year, you just need time to let loose and enjoy.

The home comes with three private bedrooms. All equipped with a queen size bed and fresh linens. There are two rollaway beds in the front bedroom closet. The bathroom is a perfect fit for the home with a newly added aromatherapy showerhead. Additionally, the kitchen is fully stocked and ready for you to create meals. More chairs are in the bedroom closets. Back in the mud room, I hope you will enjoy the convenience of the new washer and dryer.

At the end of the day, you will be able to get cozy in the family room. Cuddled up on the large sofa, in front of the fire place and enjoy a movie.

During your visit, please feel free to enjoy the tv that has Netflix on it, complimentary WIFI, board games and fresh ground coffee.

Lava Hot Springs: Charm and Flaws

The 2 front and 2 back porch cameras are somewhat understandable, though very curious to see when you initially walk up. That was my first thought, anyways. The cottage is adorable and though it matches the rest of Lava(a little rundown), it has a charm to it that our friends loved and we definitely enjoyed during our stay. The shower was a nice upgrade and was tall enough for me to use(I'm 6'4"), so that was a plus! There were a few minor inconveniences about staying there(same with any place) but overall, we had a blast and will probably bring the kids back this summer!

Great location for Lava. Close enough to walk to everything yet quiet. House was very clean and cozy. Plenty of outside/deck room to mingle and relax. Everything you would need in the kitchen. Highly recommend this place.

House was a great location to the hot springs. The beds were super comfortable. We weren’t able to use the porches because it was 11 degrees but they looked very inviting. Perfect place for us!

Super cute

Adorable house that had just about everything we needed for our weekend stay in Lava. We had an issue with the wifi upon arriving that Taylor walked me through troubleshooting and we had it fixed quickly. Would definitely stay here again but would love if blinds/curtains were added to the room next to the kitchen.

I was born and raised in Riverton, Utah. I have lived here my entire life but very much enjoy leaving the state and seeing what else is out there. After being a professional cheerleader and traveling and competing for over 6 years. I decided to finally return to school and pursue a degree in Occupational Therapy.

We fell in love with Lava when we first came up a few years ago for our anniversary. After many visits and fun nights. We decided to buy our own slice of heaven and now we want to share it with anyone who wants to experience what Lava has to offer
