Nice spot for family

Clean, owner very responsive. Nice location by the river. Train tracks nearby, so if you like trains, it’s a plus, but they are loud. Kids enjoyed the arcade game and board games at the home at the home. Short drive to Lava pools.

Beautiful spot away from town.

This is the second time staying at this property. The first time was really nice but this time was much better. It is under new ownership and the amount of amenities added made it much more better. I highly recommend this property...

Cozy Cabin Getaway

We loved staying at this property. It was welcoming and clean upon arrival and the view from the dining room table was perfection. We played some of the provided board games and it felt isolated but was only 5 minutes from town. The owner was quick to respond and we had a wonderful trip. Highly recommend

We were able to have a wonderful winter getaway. The home was super clean, spacious and well stocked so we could cook most of our meals at home. It was such a serene beautiful setting and the views of the river, mountains and horses were spectacular. We enjoyed hearing the train go by. The host was so responsive and warm. We can’t wait to come back in the summer.

Cozy home

We had a great stay! The home is super close to town without being in town. The beds were very comfortable! You will definitely hear the trains right out the front but it was not overly distracting, the kids thought it was great! We even saw some wildlife out the back window. There is a lot of games available to play which we really enjoyed.

Lovely property/ not so lovely train

The property is set in a beautiful location. The scenery is worth the drive. The property manager was responsive and easy to communicate with. The house was well taken care of and the drive to Lava Hot springs was quick and easy to navigate. I wish we had known about the train tracks across the street where no less than 4 trains come through every night and wake you up. Just be prepared for that 🙂

My family lives in Salt Lake City Utah, I am an entrepreneur and love to read. I love hosting guests at the Lava River Cottage and sharing the amazing Lava Hot Springs Community.

Why they chose this property

We visited Lava Hot Springs once per year and fell in love. We decided to buy The Lava River Cottage so we can visit and share it with guests.

The Lava River Cottage offers a full home with all of the amenities. Plus being on two acres next to the river offers a tranquil escape. The mountains and fields offer majestic views and the opportunity to see wildlife. Even the trains passing by offer a unique experience.

The town of Lava Hot Springs is 5 minutes away and offers all of the food, fun, and entertainment you need to enjoy Idaho!
