8 Bedroom, 5 1/2 Bathroom Vacation Home Near Lava Hot Springs Idaho

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, 8 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.

To get an actual quote it is important to put total number of guests when booking. If you don't know exactly, just book for what you are sure of. Guests under age of 2 you don't need to count.
From feeding the ducks and wild animals to secluded swimming holes at the Sanctuary that are safe for all, everyone will have a great experience.

We have added security cameras on the outside, that view the front, Southside of the house. We also have cameras that view the north side of house pointing away from the house.

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at the Lava Family Inn. Joel and family are awesome to work with, very responsive and welcoming. The space is fantastic for our big family and we spent some time at the sanctuary this time around. The kids loved feeding the ducks, playing outside and all of the toys and games inside.

Second time staying here

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this location. There is plenty of room for all 17 of us. Property is beautiful and perfect for outdoor games and for kids to play. Good location in relation to city of Lava. The upper floor does get quite warm but, fans are provided in each of the rooms to try and help with that.

Quiet, safe, and comfortable

Our family included 23 individuals and we had plenty of space for sleeping, eating, and just hanging out. The grandchildren had great spaces for exploring, playing tag, capture the flag, swing, duck feeding, and more. The adults enjoyed the decks and beauty of the surrounding trees. We had a great family reunion thanks to the comfort of this location.

This property was amazing. Very clean. Host was amazing to communicate with me on anything I needed. We loved the wild turkeys and ducks. They greeted us every morning. The property's kitchen facilities were so wonderful. I would recommend this property to anyone and my family wants to come stay again. I think I will try in the warmer months to take full advantage of all this property has to offer. Thank you.

Great place for a large group!

We had a great weekend at the Lava Family Inn and definitely would recommend it! We had 16 in our group in total and there was more than enough space. The kitchen and living areas are great for spending time together and playing games. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need. The host was great with communication and ensured we had a lovely stay. There are ducks and wild turkeys at the property which were very entertaining and fun to watch. Only downside of that is the ducks are pretty messy and despite our efforts to keep them away from the front entrance, they really like to hang out there and leave their messes where everyone has to walk to enter the home. We also visited the Sanctuary down the road and it is quite beautiful and peaceful. I can imagine in summer it would be so much fun. All in all, I wound highly recommend this property for any group retreat or family reunion. Thank you!

We loved our time here. The house was perfect for our needs and the size of our family! We especially loved the yard with the wild animals coming in to visit each day. The house was clean, the yard is immaculate. It was a little ways from Lava Hot Springs, but not too far. We liked being by ourselves up on the hillside! I would highly recommend a stay here

Private river property is amazing!

We absolutely loved being at the beautiful, peaceful, private river sanctuary. The family loved playing and swimming in and around the rock waterfalls. Kids rode tubes down the falls. We had paddle boards and kayaks too. The house was fantastic and accommodated 38 of us. My only complaint is the basement is outdated and needs a good facelift. The yard is shady and private. Great place to host a reunion. The house is better than the pictures show it to be (except the basement rooms) and there are bigger beds and extra mattresses than what is listed. Joel was super helpful through texts and calls to help me know what was available so I could assign families the right size rooms. He is friendly and great to work with. The master bed is unbelievably huge!

Great family reunion location

This was an ideal set-up for our family reunion of 34 people. We loved the large kitchen and large group gathering areas. The upstairs was a little warm (it was the middle of July), but the rest of the house was very comfortable. The outdoor area was lovely with plenty of grassy areas and shade. Communication with the owner was easy, immediate, and clear.
