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, 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.

Host was great, very communicative. House was mostly as expected, the turkeys were fun and we didn't have time to fully appreciate the land and nearby areas. But it's a great launching point for Pebble Creek and Lava. House had some broken items like the fireplace and hot tub in the main room, some broken or missing handles, etc, toilets hard to flush and the fridge is hard to ensure is closed. Kitchen was great for a big group and two large living spaces were awesome. But overall experience was good for our group and we would book again.

We had a great family reunion over Thanksgiving here. The house was huge. My family loved having 2 large living rooms on 2 different floors so that those who wanted quiet could be on one floor, and the rest could be on the other floor. The property was beautiful. It would be even more enjoyable during warmer weather to be able to do more outside. The only issues we ran into were that one of the bedrooms upstairs got really warm and the basement had short ceilings so that taller family members couldn't use it. One of my kids asked if we could just do every family reunion here!

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.

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.
