We take a weekend trip to Lava Hot Spring, Idaho a few times a year. We always stay at The Aura Soma Oregon Trails Hotel. They are clean, and reasonably priced. The office staff is friendly and accomodating. They have a private hot mineral pool that is wonderful. You do have to walk about 100 yards to get to the... More

My husband and I go to Lava on our Anniversary the end of September almost every year. We have stayed in the cottage and loved the private hot tub and king size bed. A couple years ago we stayed in Number 9 of the courtyard and LOVED it. Such a cute place to stay. It had a small kitchen and... More

My partner and I stayed here to break up our journey, (we're British and not used to the mega-miles most Americans seem to take in their stride!) We were on our way back to Salt Lake City following a wonderful visit to Yellowstone and we were greatly in need of a little R & R. Well, we certainly found it... More

I complained the first night about the window and someone came right away and fixed it although my daughter counted 30 mosquito bites on... More

The very small hot spring pool was empty for cleaning. A fellow guest next door was drunk and shouting loudly into the wee hours of morning with no phone number to management. The walls... More

It is a nice older house with a private hot pool. The private outdoor hot pool is the gem here. The house is quaint with a kitchen, nice bedroom... More

We go to Lava Hot Springs every February to celebrate my Birthday and Valentine's Day. We always stay at the Oregon Trail Lodge. The staff is so friendly, the rooms are big and comfy, massages are so WONDERFUL, and the hot pool is AMAZING. It's private, secluded, and we always meet such fun people. You haven't experienced relaxation until you've... More

If you are looking for a getaway from it all this is the place. It is a cute small town with amazing beauty. More

A girl friend and I took a girls weekend trip to Aura Soma Lava in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho this last weekend. It was just from Saturday to Sunday. But now I'm wishing we would have been able to stay longer. We reserved a modest room at the Oregon Trail Lodge. Nothing fancy just two queen beds a mini fridge... More
