About this property

7 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, 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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Joel Kilpack and Cleide Francom

Host profile image
I am the oldest boy of 12 children and have 4 children and 1 grand baby. I grew up in West Bountiful, Utah, where I learned to milk at the age of 5, and milked alone at the age of 7. Growing up as a family we made several trips, to Idaho to visit the Crossleys with the Potato harvest, and went fishing afterwards. The trips to Idaho as a young boy, is when I fell in love with Idaho. My parents also made trips to Missouri, and on occasion was able to go, when our milk cows had dried up. My parents ended up buying a farm in Missouri when I was 12, of which my parents still live there today, and Milk a cow together morning and night.

I have been Electrical Engineer for 26 years, and have done work all over the US as well as countries abroad. I currently work an engineer in Idaho, traveling as an engineer have basically stopped. Being able to work from home in 2006 and fairly close to an airport, I decided to buy this place in Idaho. In 2007 I added 3000 sqft to the home, and 2010 the older part of the house was remodeled, making it a great place for family gatherings. This was my primary residence until 2011, where I accepted a position with a large engineering firm out of state in the Kansas City Area, fairly close to the family farm. Missing the people and the lovely state of Idaho, I decided to move back in 2016. My housing manager and I both live close to this property, which is nice so I can also host reunions of my large family.

Why they chose this property

This property is an ideal place for large family gatherings. It has two large kitchen / family rooms for entertaining large groups. We do several family reunions and average about 4 weddings/receptions a year.

What makes this property unique

It's great all year around from skiing and snowmobiling in the winter, hiking in the spring, Lava Hot Springs with natural hot pools open year round, white water tubing in the summer. Excellant hunting in the fall.
