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.

    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.

    The place smells awful and when the heat came on the smell was unbearable. There are no screens in the windows and we had to deal with bugs coming in while we tried to get fresh air. One window was broken and taped with electrical tape. We were asked to wash towels and the dryer sounds like it’s on its last leg. My husband stepped on a red ant hill when unloading bags from our vehicle. The yard is infested with vermin, possibly voles or mice judging by the holes in the yard and from the smell in the house. I did not read reviews before booking. I will not make that mistake again.

    This place was awesome! Beautiful house located on a farm in the middle of farm country. We had so much fun. Cooked a nice meal in the kitchen and on the gas grill. Enjoyed eating outdoors on the deck and finishing it off with a campfire and smores. Highly recommend staying here. And be sure to look outside at night, amazing stars! Than you so much.

    It was really nice for a quick getaway where we had our own space and could do stuff around the area. There were a few light fixtures that didn't work, most prominently noticed was the driveway porch light. Really nice area though. Not the best for exploring in the winter because the snow kept us from really doing anything on the property. Would try again when it's warmer!

    We loved staying at this farmhouse that was secluded and private...but only 10 minutes from lava hot springs. The cooling and heating system was great. Beds and couch very comfortable. I'm sensitive to dust, mold and chemical smells and I had no issues here. The house was clean and cute. The views were awesome. Some people in reviews mentioned bugs..but honestly I didn't see any more than in my own house. I expected more but it wasn't an issue at all. We will definitely come again. We had 5 kids ages 10-22 . Little snug for us but just fine. We were grateful to have a cozy place to stay.

    House was exactly as advertised, which was perfect for our family. This is an old but refurbished farmhouse so it had the creaky floors and the gophers in the yard next to the plowed fields down the dirt road. We loved it. Carrie was exceptional in responding to questions. We recommend texting rather than calling the contact number in the listing if there are any questions or issues. We found the grocery stores in nearby Soda Springs to be the best value and variety. Plenty of activities in the area but plan some driving as again, think rural farmhouse.

    Overall was very enjoyable. The only suggestion I have is for the owner to have the road and driveway cleared after a snow storm. It wasn’t a big deal as we have an all wheel drive vehicle.

    It was perfect for preparing for a wedding and having the kitchen to use. The beds were comfortable. I would like to have had the heat in the house at a warmer temp since we arrived after dark and the thermostat was at 50 degrees.

    Quiet, quaint farmhouse out in the middle of the fields. We spent some time in both Soda and Lava Springs, and the location of the house was great; really not too far out of the way. Host was very hospitable and accommodating. Grateful we stumbled upon this little piece of heaven for some family time.
