I would go back.... we loved that the rooms are large and clean. I could not get my grandchildren out of the walk in shower with the rain shower head. Nice large pillows, which most hotels do not have along with a comfortable bed. We loved the atmosphere and hours of the pool and hot springs.

We had a great time for Valentine’s Day. The hot tub was full of a bunch of loud obnoxious teenagers, but still had a great time relaxing. Bed sucked, but the jetted tub was great. Check-in was easy, and hassle free. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, would recommend this place as a weekend getaway.

Incredible

Amazing, my husband and I were on a quiet holiday to celebrate us. No real plans other than to relax. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was immaculate and extremely comfortable. It was a great place to have a getaway weekend with my husband..

Likely not twice

The young man who did my check in was less than polite. I had requested a ground floor room but was on the upper level instead. He did not offer to see if there was something available on the ground floor. The hotel does not have an elevator and I have breathing issues. I had to navigate 20 outdoor steps to reach the second floor and my room. As for the room, it was neat and clean. The floors were clean, the beds nicely made. The fridge and microwave both worked fine. The shower was quite large and worked very well. There is a sign in the bathroom about hot water stating it takes time to heat the shower water so it has to be turned on to let run for at least 10 minutes. The warning was nice so I didn't step into a cold shower. The beds were another story. Both beds were much too soft! I like a very firm mattress, rather than one I can sink into.

Beware of Pool Hours Before Booking

We packed the family up for two days swimming at the hot springs. Unfortunately the hot springs closed at 7pm the day we arrived and didn't open until well after our check out time the second day. Due to unforseen issues, we didn't arrive until 6:45pm. A disappointing trip. We got less than twenty minutes of swimming our entire stay. We are from Logan so the hotel room became unnecessary. The room was nice. The room we originally booked was not cleaned, so we moved rooms upstairs. The room was sweltering hot at 86 degrees when we arrived (it was 20 degrees outside in Jan). The shower was enjoyable, but did have quite a bit of hair from the last guests. I did not find the pillows or bed comfortable. I did not sleep well. Overall, bad planning on our part. The room was nice, but we were looking forward to lots of swimming and time with family in the hot springs. Instead we were stuck in the hotel room due to the springs not being open during our stay.

Upon arrival we were told that the swimming pool and slide had closed at Labor Day. We were not told this ahead of time, and my grandkids were looking forward to using them. No discount was offered. I had booked this 3 months in advance so they had plenty of time to inform me.

The cabin was a nice step above tent camping with a bed, a big, modern flat screen TV, Keurig coffee machine with good dark roast and other coffee pods, microwave, refrigerator, air conditioner, and heater. The bed was like sleeping on an air mattress, soft and squishy. Bathroom was conveniently located in a separate building and the shower was in the pool, hot springs area. Friendly place, and a nice area to walk around enjoying the ID air.

Fun property. Needs clarification online about if the pool cost more if you rent a hotel room. They havent charged me either time Ive been but act like they are going to start charging or something. The staff and online need clarification about swim prices with a hotel.

We stayed in one of the adorable tiny cabins, and we must not have read carefully because we were surprised to find that there was no bathroom inside our little cabin. It was not a huge deal, though. We just used the facilities that were across the parking lot. They were fairly clean and overall felt pretty safe. The room was very hot initially, but the window air conditioner cooled it down pretty quickly. Really the only issues we had during the night werw the very intermittent Wi-Fi and the absolute lack of any cell service. This place is definitely off the beaten track, and it was actually nice to unplug for a night. One other possibly significant issue: the TV's reception was terrible, so accessing Netflix was difficult.The next day, we had a blast in the pools and on the water slide. The staff was super helpful, and we really appreciated the $15 food credit. Don't miss the soft serve ice cream 🙂 Overall, it was not a bad experience, especially for the price. We would do it again!
Awesome water slide! We didn't manage to get a photo of the geothermal pools, but they were amazing.
The teeny tiny cabins were so cute!
