Lava Look Out was perfect for our Family. It was comfortable for our group of 20. We especially enjoyed the back deck and back yard. We also loved the close proximity to the fun activities. We will definitely recommend this location to our friends and family.
I stayed here with my friends for my birthday. I had the best time here. Will definitely stay here again. So many rooms and beds, so cozy, beautiful place. So close to everything!
This was the perfect house for our family vacation ! Everyone had their own space for privacy and night time . We all enjoyed the deck for coffee in the AM and evening relaxation ! Perfect being close to down town.
This place was great. It was close to the pool and the river and downtown. The neighborhood was great and quiet and safe. It was a great place to rent and we would stay here again
Many beds and bedrooms space to accommodate larger group. The BBQ on the deck worked well, kitchen had everything we needed to cook big family style dinners. A short distance to walk to bars, brewery and hiking trails. Great time in a fun town.
We had a great time, the hosts were helpful and communicated with us with any questions that came up. We had a house full of cousins and there was so much space everyone was able to have a good nights sleep in a comfy bed. It is close to the hot pools and lots of other Lava activities, we plan on booking with this location again in the future.
Great views, lots of beds, kitchen is a little small for hosting that many people. I think it would be better in the summer when you could enjoy the great porch.
Lovely home perfect for reunions with kids of all ages. Perfectly located for walking to all that Lava Hot Springs has to offer. Our host was very helpful and responsive. The grandkids are ready to rebook as well as the adults.
We had an amazing stay. The house was well stocked and very clean. The host was super involved and very responsive. We would stay there again for sure. Thank you!
We loved the house and it was in a Great location.
