Great stay near lava hot springs!

We had a girls getaway weekend and loved this place! The backyard was perfect for our dogs. It's quiet and was only 15 min from lava hot springs, so we got to enjoy the town and then head back for some quiet time.

The home and location were very quiet, quaint, and cozy. The host was gracious and attentive to our emails. We had a wonderful time. We brought our two mid-sized dogs and they loved to doggie doors and huge backyard. The kitchen and furinshings were very good quality and adequite. The only negative was the spound of a distant train occasionally, but it was not overwhelming.

Lava Retreat

We stayed at this property specifically to go to Lava. It was a bit of a drive, but we had the space we needed so it was worth it. It is definitely the nicest home in the neighborhood. It has been completely updated and contained everything we needed. The host was very kind and kept us updated during our stay.
