I can not imagine a more fantastic place to take my friends for the weekend. I have been staying at the Inn as often as I can over the last several years. I have met so many nice people in the pools at the Inn, and frequently find myself running into the same people every time I am there. It has been a great experience and I have made some friends that I see back home in Salt Lake. Though, I travel frequently for work, and stay in some very nice and exciting places, I always feel most comfortable in Lava. When I get time for myself just to relax, and be surrounded by easy going people, I am off to the Lava Hot Springs Inn. I will be the first to admit that the Inn is not a 5 star resort, for those of us who really appreciate some quiet and relaxing time the Inn offers something that a 5 star resort can not. Sometimes it is nice to go somewhere where there are no phones in the room to ring, or where there are few TVs. The innkeepers are great and even though the place is kind of a work in progress, it really makes you feel like part of the Inn to see it change every time that you are there.
The only warning that I feel is important is to say that come to the Inn with no expectations. Don't go looking for something that you will not find in a place like Lava and you will have a great time.
