About this house rental
Welcome to Lava Family Inn and Spiritual River Sanctuary with over a mile of river frontage. We offer more than just a beautiful home and surroundings to sleep in. Lava Family Inn is located just minutes from Downtown Lava Hot Springs with swimming, tubing, parks, restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, museums, etc. If you are a skier, Pebble Creek Ski Resort is also just minutes away. Our property is a fully furnished, 7 bedroom, 5 ½ bath, vacation home. Ideal for large or multiple family reunions, retreats, weddings, and receptions. Perfect backdrop for family photos. The home is very secluded, with surrounding vegetation, grassy yard, small pond and a stream that run through, with wildlife to be seen almost daily, especially in the mornings and evenings. Located in Southeast Idaho-- an hour and forty five minute drive north from Salt Lake City. Surrounded by mountains of public land with trails that are perfect for hikes, walks, biking, dirt biking, four wheeling and horse back riding. Portnuef River is located just below the property with sportsman access for excellent trout fishing. The river has several watering holes for swimming close by, or just watching its many waterfalls. Floating the Portnuef River at Lava Hot Springs is both entertaining and relaxing -especially during the hot Summer months. Lava Hot Springs is not the only hot springs to visit in Idaho. 46 miles East of our family home, you should visit Soda Springs, Idaho one of the worlds only captive geysers! Now capped and controlled by a timer, the geyser erupts every hour on the hour reaching heights of 100 feet year round. Our Vacation Home sleeps up to 28 in beds with plenty of extra room for air mattresses, sleeping bags or cots.

There was plenty of room for family to eat, sleep and play games. We are a skiing family and it was so close to the resort.and not to far to take little's home when they were done with half day. It wasn't to far to enjoy a night soaking at Lava. Great trip!!

Thing’s happened when we first arrived. The situation was bad from the beginning but after we found out the owner was in an accident the day before then we switched our minds from frustration to understanding. This was a good home and a big enough home for a large group. Turkeys and ducks were fun for the kids. Lots of pros.
The only negative this was no WiFi and that the dish for tv didn’t work upstairs for the wind down times.
Overall a good experience.

We started here too celebrate my dad's 60th birthday and it was great! Everyone had their own rooms and there was plenty of space to spread out and not feel like everyone was on top of each other. The master bed was a surprise! We've never seen a bed that big! The theme song was "why don't you just meet me in the middle" 😂
The owner was great to work with and very responsive when we realized we were missing some sheets for one of the extra beds.
When he's told us there were turkeys on the property we could feed, we didn't realize there were that many! So fun to see them running around the yard!
A few little quirks about the house, the hot water had a sulphur smell to it, but overall a great place to stay and enjoy some really good family time! No Internet, but we were there to hang out anyway so it was great!

Lots of room. The littles loved the ducks and the play area. Owner was very responsive.
I would suggest to have AC running well before guests arrive. The first night, my family that slept in two of the bedrooms were so warm, it was hard to sleep. And yes they had the provided fans running. As long as the master bedroom was set at 68, the rooms upstairs were nice. No one wanted to sleep in the basement and fortunately we didn't really need it. That area could use an upgrade. Found mouse droppings in the kitchen cabinets. Probably need to deep clean the kitchen. It was also difficult to get a hot shower, no matter how we spaced them out.
Overall, it wasn't bad.

This place is great size for big family gatherings. Beautiful yard and surroundings. Plenty of sleeping room and places to hang out and enjoy those you are with. Great proximity to Pocatello and not too far from Lava Hot Springs. It has Dish network for TV but we never even turned the TV's on. I would suggest bringing your camping chairs because there is not much seating on the decks but what a great place, especially this time of year. So green and beautiful. Our family has it on the list to return to.

The property was private and spacious, we had ample room for yard games and the kids especially enjoyed feeding the ducks at the pond. I set up a slip-n-slide on the downward slope of the yard which was perfect for the kids to have fun sliding down to the bottom of the slide.
Some of the things in the home were not working and needed to be repaired, fridge ice maker and master bedroom tub. The basement bedrooms probably should be remodeled. My daughters wouldn't use them but the boys were ok sleeping there. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there and the close proximity to Lava Hot Springs made for a short drive. There was plenty of room to spread out and find your own private space. Everyone enjoyed the message chair. This property is great for family gatherings. I would stay here again.

Had a fun stay here. The kids loved the time in the sanctuary, and the home was large enough for all of us. As mentioned previously, this property is at a good price, but there is a per person charge for each in your party over 13. Karl Malone bed was.. special.

Super fun place to stay for large family gatherings. Bedrooms were clean, I believe 13 total beds. The massage chair was super fun! Turkeys and deer everywhere. Fun to feed the ducks in the pond. Kitchen, bar, and dining room was super spacious. Master bedroom was bigger than anything I've ever stayed in. The master bed was like three times the size of a king bed! Nothing negative to say. Close enough to enjoy Lava.

Our family enjoyed this property immensely! The owner worked with us to provide enough space for our trailers for the overflow family members.
Kitchen provided enough pots/pans and other kitchen needs. Huge pantry, long bar with stools in the kitchen area, all appliances functioned well, enough tables for seating inside and beautiful yard for kids to play outside.
Home is located in a beautiful setting!
Thank you

The rental home accommodated or group of 35 okay, but just barely. (A larger group would need to send some people to camp down the highway a mile at the associated campground on the river.) We loved the large open kitchen and dining area that opens onto the deck. There was plenty of seating/eating area for our group. And the serving/counter/breakfast bar space was huge, and could seat 11 people all by itself. But we mostly used it as a serving space to lay out all the food and paper goods we brought. Worked perfectly. The main level with the kitchen was nice and cool in this 90+ degree weather. But the upstairs great room and associated four bedrooms where most of our group slept, were quite warm during the afternoon and into the night. And the basement had a fairly strong musty smell and was super cold the whole time, largely due to a number of leaks in the HVAC ducting that let the conditioned air blow constantly down there. The family of six that slept in the two bedrooms and open area beds down there slept fine. But that whole basement area, and especially the bathroom and shower, needs a complete makeover, particularly one low doorway that bruised my 6 ft son-in-law just above the forehead every time he wasn't paying attention when walking into the bedroom. Despite the fact that the jetted tub was out of order, the master bedroom was amazing, with a bed that was four times the size of a regular King. My family loved the tall mature shade trees and huge well maintained lawn that surrounded the house. Plenty of area to play lawn games in the shade. And we enjoyed an afternoon playing in the river at the campground swimming hole down the highway. It really help to bring our own 12x12 canopy for shade at the river's edge. And of course, the main reason we rented this place was because it was only 20 minutes to Lava Hot Springs, where our family rafted the river through town one day, and returned the next day for some great fun at the water park where there are high dives and super great slides for the courageous, and low slides, splash pad, and a lot of swimming area for the whole family. The owner was very responsive to our needs. There were plenty of things for my family plan to enjoy during our reservation period of four nights. I give this place 4 of 5 stars, and would have given it 5 of 5 if the heating and cooling in the upstairs and the basement had been more controlled.
