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.

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!

Super fun and clean

Check in was quick, responses to needs we're efficient, enough towels for the pools and shower. The lifeguards were not friendly at all but we still had a blast at the hot springs and water slides.
