The Ranch Inn in Lava Hot Springs

We went to Lava Hot Springs August 8-10 for the Davidson Family trip. My mom found this "lovely" motel which Lucy lovingly nick-named "The Bates Motel." It was such a groovy, eclectic place. We had 3 beds in our room all with different bedspreads, sheets, towels, throw rugs, chairs, tables--nothing matched. From the mouth of our 5 year old, Allie, "This place is a DUMP!" (There were also some very interesting looking people around, so we gave the "buddy system" speech to the kids.) It was such a fun dump though. We did enjoy our three days there. The campground behind it was beautiful with the Portneuf river right behind the camp. Petting zoo, volleyball, tetherball, cattails galore, & dock on the river added to all of our familyfun. The place is even for sale--I think we should buy it and use it as our vacation mecca!
