About this property

Moonlight Cottage is located on Main. Just a minutes walk to anywhere in Lava

This peaceful cottage is perfect for any type of getaway. A family vacation, a romantic retreat, or maybe after this tough year, you just need time to let loose and enjoy.

The home comes with three private bedrooms. All equipped with a queen size bed and fresh linens. There are two rollaway beds in the front bedroom closet. The bathroom is a perfect fit for the home with a newly added aromatherapy showerhead. Additionally, the kitchen is fully stocked and ready for you to create meals. More chairs are in the bedroom closets. Back in the mud room, I hope you will enjoy the convenience of the new washer and dryer.

At the end of the day, you will be able to get cozy in the family room. Cuddled up on the large sofa, in front of the fire place and enjoy a movie.

During your visit, please feel free to enjoy the tv that has Netflix on it, complimentary WIFI, board games and fresh ground coffee.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great place - Very cute place. Plenty of room for all of us. Love the upgraded shower heads. It was right on the main road. Close enough to walk to town but just a few blocks up to have the business of the main strip. Would definitely stay here again.

We had so much fun in Lava Hot Springs and at the Moonlight Cottage that my kids did not want to leave. The property has clean rooms. Spacious enough to accommodate 6 of us that stayed there. Shops and hot springs are walking distance.

Cute little home that was perfect for our group of 7. We only stayed one night but wish we could've enjoyed more time here! The house is on a quiet street located right behind Main street so it's very close and walkable to things. We enjoyed that the beds had a heated mattress control that made it feel extra comfy and cozy!

I was born and raised in Riverton, Utah. I have lived here my entire life but very much enjoy leaving the state and seeing what else is out there. After being a professional cheerleader and traveling and competing for over 6 years. I decided to finally return to school and pursue a degree in Occupational Therapy.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Lava when we first came up a few years ago for our anniversary. After many visits and fun nights. We decided to buy our own slice of heaven and now we want to share it with anyone who wants to experience what Lava has to offer
