Secluded Farmhouse Country Setting close to Lava Hot Springs!
Beautiful Secluded Home on Farm Acreage Close to Lava Hot Springs
This small farmhouse is set on peaceful, secluded acreage near the base of Fishcreek pass and just 8 miles East of Lava Hot Springs. The property borders our family farm which in any given summer could have wheat, barley, potatoes, or alfalfa growing in the back yard. Watch the sunrise from the East over fields gleaned every fall, and the summer sunsets over Petticoat Peak with vivid pinks, reds, purples, and yellows.
Hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, ATV's and dirtbiking are favorite pastimes for locals up nearby canyons. Close by in Lava Hot Springs, are the world-famous Olympic sized pools and natural hot baths. Rent a tube and enjoy floating down the Portneuf River or enjoy the shops on Main Street. Or we suggest at some point to just stay home, pull out the camp chairs, and enjoy an evening with a glowing campfire.
The home has been newly updated and filled with all the basics you will need for your stay. It has two bedrooms-- a King size bed in one, and a full over full bunk with a twin trundle pull out in the second.
While newly updated, its still an old home with its quirks and its filled with memories. We hope that your memories here will mirror the feelings we have of this little valley. We have farmed this area for 5 generations, love for this land runs in our blood. There is a stillness here, untouched by the crowds and city life.
We warmly welcome you to our home and hope you will love your stay at the Mountain View Country Escape!
***please note:
1. This is a home in the country. We have gophers in the yard and bugs that occasionally pester us. We keep the inside of the home as clean as possible. If you want a five-star hotel, please book elsewhere. We prefer house guests who will call us if there is an issue…. like a good neighbor, rather than a rant 4 days later on a public forum. We rent this home at an affordable price—and you get a home for the price of small, single hotel room. Please have realistic expectations for a home in the country. We are not professionals, we are farmers. Our kids help us clean and we are trying to give them opportunities to earn money—99% of the time there are not issues. We just want to be real.
2. This is not a party house. If the intention is to drink and get loud in the country—this is not the home for you. Our intention is to provide a peaceful landscape for anyone wanting to get out of the city for quiet respite. After cleaning up spilled alcohol and vomit with a couple guests as well as the police called, if we run into the same issues please know you will forfeit the security deposit.

Very quiet and relaxing stay. There were some dead flies around the windows and doors but overall a very clean home. I will definitely rebook for another stay.

We absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be staying again. It was amble enough for our family, plenty of sleeping space. My favorite part is how secluded it was. We went outside to see the stars at night. Absolutely beautiful, thank you.
This location is definitely secluded, very beautiful location and away from the hustle and bustle in life. Had all the amenities. We were small drives away from everything, so it wasn’t that bad to travel. The closer towns were cute, definitely go to the hot springs.
The owners were very responsive and super polite
Definitely enjoyed our stay
We were excited to stay here for a family getaway! It had the space that we needed & were excited to be away! The property was everything we hoped it would be; however, it does have a spider problem. Everyday we were there, we found them in the sinks, the master bedroom, and tub.
We were looking for a quiet relaxing setting and we found it. 😊
The place was exactly as described. Well furnished, comfortable and we totally enjoyed our few days there.
Thank you Carrie.
Had great communication with Carrie. We came during some bad weather and she was very helpful. The place was great for our family of five. Plenty of places to sleep and everything adequately stocked. The bathroom sink was pretty tall for our five year olds to reach so a step stool would be nice.
My parents were visiting from Mexico and we needed a place to stay for the night. Every hotel in Lava Hot Springs required a 2 night stay so this farmhouse was the perfect choice for us. It is a very cute farmhouse and the beds and couch were very comfy. It also had all the necessities. We couldn’t figure out how to make the tv work and the host was kind enough to swing by and get it working for us. 100% recommend!
Fun place that was perfect for a relaxing stay. We soaked at Lava hotsprings just down the road (10 min or so). Then enjoyed a quiet evening. Everything we needed in the kitchen was thrre with modern appliances. Clean and simply but comfortably furnished. Highly recommend if you don’t want to listen to kids and drunk patrons yelling up and down a hotel hallway all night or an elevator beep for the hundredth time. No traffic noise,, beautiful stars, and lots of space. Perfect place to get away from it all and enjoy your family.
Property is as advertised and well maintained. Location is nice and quiet on farmland about 10 minutes from Lava Hot Springs. Pocatello is about 45 minutes away. Only downside is there aren't any amenities in the immediate area, but this is pretty clear from the listing and wasn't a big deal for us. If you're staying anywhere I'm SE Idaho you're going to need a car anyway.
Host was very responsive and accommodating, helped us work through a minor issue during our stay and always was quick to respond to a text. Definitely recommend for families or couples, it's a very nice property in a beautiful setting!
It was not very clean and there was only three chair for the kitchen table when this is suppose to sleep 7. There was bird poop on the door step and we couldn’t even go on the front porch it was all run down with peeling paint and slivers. The dish washer place to put soap was broke and washing machine spelt like mildew. The beds were comfortable.

We are from the city so this was the perfect spot to get away and see the stars! We thought it was comfortable and cute. Check in/out was easy with no issues. It was reasonably priced
