The rooms are small but very well kept up. The bed was comfortable. When we opened the door in the bathroom it went out to a patio with chairs. It was easy to walk to the river. They setup a kid friendly movie after dark. served popcorn and cotton candy. I would definatly stay again.

Liked: Amenities
Close enough to Lava yet far enough away. Sorry, we didn't book two night stay!
This was less than 5 minute drive from town and the municipal hot springs. They stay open until 11:00pm so we were able to go at night and again in the morning. Great breakfast. Highly recommended.
the property was sub par not as listed I think there is mold in the bathroom ...never recommend Lost Trail or Expedia

Disliked: Cleanliness
The property owner is clearly trying but attention to detail was poor. Toilet seat was broken, dirty, mismatched and missing cups/utensils. Patio was covered in debris. Beds and pillows were clean and comfortable. Fire pit was nice at the end of the night.
It was your average hotel room. The water in the bathroom sink barely trickles out. Didn’t try the shower. It's in a nice location on the Portneuf River. Beach access is nice.
