Lave cottage
Charming older home. Dated but clean. Good location. It had snowed a lot the night before and we had to shovel our path to the front door and shovel out a parking area. We had a pleasant stay and enjoyed the town of Lava.

Perfect spot in Lava!
This was our first time staying in Lava Hot Springs, and we couldn't have picked a better spot! We loved that everything was within walking distance. The house was stocked with a great selection of games which we definitely took advantage of! The beds and couches were comfortable, and the kitchen well stocked with a variety of dishes and cookware. The host was fantastic to work with. We would definitely stay here again!

Charming cottage
This cottage was perfect for our stay up in Lava. It was spacious enough for our larger group and within walking distance from downtown Main Street. The price per night is a great deal compared to some of the very small, run down one bedrooms in Lava. I love the backyard set up with chairs to hang out in. The kitchen could have been a little cleaner. The drawers where the cooking utensils were kept had crumbs and no trays to hold try e utensils. The temperature of the fridge was turned to 1 when we got there. We had coolers packed with tons of food we needed to get into the cold fridge and the fridge was not cold at all. I realized a few hours later how warm the food was and was worried about it not being good. Took a long time for the fridge to get cold once I turned the dial to the recommended temp. Maybe it got bumped accidentally but hopefully it didn’t get turned down on purpose. Other than that it was a fun place to stay.

Great location for LHS
Third time we’ve stayed at this property. The location is great, are able to park the car and leave for the entire stay. Walk to the pool and hot pools, and of course a stop at the ice cream shop. Only 1 small bathroom, so we would generally shower at the pools. Nice small yard with fire pit. Would recommend and will probably be back.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable and inviting. The location was great. The Greystone Manor was just across the street, and we had a wonderful dinner there. Walk to hot springs was about 10 minutes. Great place to stay in Lava.

Loved this place!
This place was perfect for our group! Within walking distance of almost anything you want to do. We loved the backyard fire pit and the picnic table. The owner has done so much work with curb appeal making it very attractive inside and out. The inside was clean, we had all amenities we needed plus games and a nice big screen TV. The beds were all very comfortable with nice bedding. We loved all of the local historic touches in the home as well. It was very relaxing and cozy. We will return to this place!!
The Lava Cottage worked out wonderfully for our family. The house is very inviting. The beds are super comfy and the bedding is very nice. All of the little details are covered from extra fans in the bedrooms, family games, pool towels, to having the spice you forgot, right there in the cupboard. Perfect for a little family get-away!

Fun house for family vacation
This is the second year we have stayed in this house. It is very accommodating, walking distance to everything and quiet. I would only recommend that you take your own coffee maker, the one in the house only works part of the time and we actually had coffee grounds explode all over the kitchen twice and only water was dispensed on more than one occasion. Other than that, great time had by all

Second stay at this property. Great location, walking distance to pool and hot pools. Nice backyard with picnic table and fire pit. Kitchen well equipped, but would be nice to have kids dishes. Only 1 bathroom and small, but made it work by mainly showering at the pools
