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!

Fun Stay
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 My only complaint is the basement is outdated and needs a good facelift.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!

This was the perfect property for our youth camp! We spent most of the time outside on the beautiful shaded, property. There were so many beds and places to sleep for everyone. The pantry was large to keep all of our food. It was perfect, and I want to come back for a family reunion!

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.

Great place with plenty to do
Had 36 family members staying for a reunion. Lots of room and Kids enjoyed the size of the kitchen. Enough places available so if someone needed some alone time they could get away for a few min. the 10 x 10 bed in the master bedroom was a little silly but thats ok. You could tell you were in a basement when you were down there. over all it was good. The host texted me a couple of times a day to see how things were going, a little bit invasive for me.

Great family reunion property.
So many good things about this home. The main floor and upstairs were gorgeous and clean and spacious. Felt very secluded and comfortable to let the little ones play inside or out. We had an extended family gathering with 29 people including children ages 3-17. There was plenty of space for sleeping and meals. The basement rooms were not the favorites- definitely needs some updating, (mildew smell, poorly lit, ac room was creepy as anything, and the basement shower head has multiple leaks and sprays everywhere). but we were comfortable enough and can’t complain because the price was great compared to similar properties. 20-30 minutes to lava hot springs which has great activities for all ages. Lots of wildlife including ducks, turkeys, red tailed hawks (nest on the property with babies in spring of 2024), and lots of other birds first thing in the morning. Also domestic bunnies were fun for the kids.

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!!

Started out rough but overall a good experience
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.

Great place for large family gatherings!
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!
