My friends and I wanted to get away for a birthday retreat for three days and two nights. The hotel website looked nice enough, but we were very disappointed in our visit.
We stayed in the Chalet house, and from the reviews it was nice in 2005, but the place is run down! Pulling up to the house the first thing we noticed was the broken glass at the door which had been taped. The place looked like it had been broken into recently, which for three women travelers, is not a comforting thought.
Entering through the broken screen door, the place had a horrible smell. We were definitely expecting more since we were paying $250 per night. It was disappointment after disappointment: Light bulbs were burned out, the tv remote was broken, the dvd player had no remote at all, the bathroom doorknob fell off upon touching it, the toilet upstairs was constantly running, the floor was horribly creaky, there were no hair dryers, not enough shower toiletries, and no telephone. As for aesthetics, the pink walls and peeling paint were not inviting.
Then we went downstairs... the carpet was torn/removed in some areas and hastily covered with a small rug. There was a bloodstain on the comforter. The creepiest thing of all was the carved out "9-11" and crosses on the wall. We didn't even dare stay downstairs for very long.
When we tried to go to the Office to take care of some problems, they were closed at 7:45 p.m. Upon check out, the woman seemed concerned enough about our complaints, but the Owner was not available. He did call the next day to offer a $50 discount, which does not even come close to making up for the horrible stay.
My family has a reunion in Lava Hot Springs every year and we will steer clear of this place. Please be wary when considering your stay in Lava Hot Springs.

My Wife and young Son spent Memorial Day Weekend 2007 at North Shore Lodge. We loved it! It is rustic yet comfortable and we felt right at home. The staff was friendly and helpful. We brought our own boat and moored it right at the end of the dock within site of our cabin #6 and spent much of the weekend fishing and relaxing. It rained that weekend and we were glad to have a warm, cozy cabin to retreat too. We joked around about it reminding us of Camp North Star from the 70's Bill Murray movie "Meatballs". How North Shore lodge is the 'common mans' retreat and how all the 'well to do's' were up in McCall probably eating caviar and sipping champaign under white twinkle lights, while listening to a 4 piece playing classical melodies. Much like the rich kids at Camp Mohawk in "Meatballs". It was a hoot and we left anxiously awaiting another stay. I will say this, though, the food is quite rustic as well. We are a meat and potato's family and certainly not food critics, but unless things have changed in the kitchen at the lodge restaurant, we would suggest brining a lot of your own food.
All in all however, it was a GREAT experience and we are planning on making at least a couple reservations for this summer. If you plan on going up for a stay, watch "Meatballs" first. I think you'll enjoy the comparisons. Or better yet, bring your own portable DVD player like we did and watch it in the cabin if the weather sets in.
