Alpaca Inn — Hotel in Lava Hot Springs

WOW, WOW, WOW! We have been going to LHS every year now for over 26 years and we have stayed in many of the Hotels, and The Alpaca Inn will be our new happy place to stay from now on. We normally stay at the River Side and loved it, but as we have gotten older we simply can't do the stairs any longer. The Body is willing but the knees are weak. On a local referral we tried the Alpaca and the hotel is reasonable, the room was so neat, clean, quiet and quaint. It had a tv and a dvd player, a heater, air conditioner and some of the most wonderful smells for an air freshener I have ever smelled. It also has a small fridge with ice trays, (no more trudging to the store for ice trips) and a blow dryer, soap, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom. The staff was just wonderful and very patient with us in learning to use the AC remote as well as the tv and dvd remote. EVERYONE IS So friendly and you can tell they care about their hotel and the people in it. It is centrally located but you would never know it because it was quiet and restful and peaceful. We had a little table and chairs right outside our door and we sat out there at night and relaxed and we sat out there in the morning and breathed in that wonderful fresh and crisp LAVA AIR. There is parking right in front of the hotel so no fighting for parking spots. They have a WONDERFUL gift shop with "EVERYTHING ALPACA" including art work! The photos don't do it justice you just have to see it to believe it and it was truly wonderful. I URGE you to give the Alpaca Inn a try if you are going to Lava Hot Springs. You won't be sorry I promise! Thank you Alpaca Inn for one of the best times in Lava we have...

Couple years back we came and stayed in the family unit with a bunch of girls. The property had plumbing problems but the owners made sure everyone was taken care of and had a bathroom to use. Customer service brought us back! We came, stayed, and again great customer service. We checked in, stayed in unit 9 and had a private little cove. The new units are beautiful and the beds so comfy. I do wish people would be a little more considerate and not cut on the counters, there is a cutting board for use. Respect the future guest's and property. The kitchens are plentiful with a large fridge, new microwave, and my favorite is the big bathroom and no tub (I find tubs unpractical) big spacious shower. The beds are very comfy and the owners make sure the guests have enough blankets. If you need something they respond immediately and that's how a customer/business relationship should work. I know people look at reviews before booking but this is a property you should stay at. Not only is the place updated and nice but you are walking distance to everything. I also love that there is no smell of cigarettes anywhere on the property, especially the rooms. I love Lava and it's nice to go somewhere and feel like it's a home away from home. I can say we will be back!!! You'll...

Our stay at the Alpaca Inn for our Thanksgiving week was very pleasant indeed. Very charming, comfy and cozy room to snuggle down into, while peaking out at icicles dripping down from the eves. Decoration for Christmas were just being put up by Debbie, that just added to the charm. Loved how close the amazing, official state park run Lava Hot Springs were to us too! We were even able to go see the darling Alpacas at the farm escorted by our gracious hostess Debbie, Londa and Jody's long time partner in both operations. We weren't out to buy an Alpaca but sure enjoyed getting to be introduced to them personally and taking pictures and videos of these darlings for our precious memories of them...
