"We LOVED our stay! We were in one of the rooms right on the main road making the whole town accessible by walking. Having the patio seating right outside our door was nice and we were out there a lot. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We loved having the coffee from the lobby every morning. I will always stay here when visiting Lava!"

Caribou Lodge and Motel

"The room was clean and perfect for my needs. The staff and the manager were fantastic! There was a construction project on the street and construction on the property, but the manager worked through several issues that arose but in the end my stay was largely unaffected. I will be staying there again!"

"We only stayed one night. AC is lacking a bit on top floor-king bedroom area. Luckily they had a small personal fan I used throughout the night. The microwave wasn't working which did ruin my option to heat up my dinner that had gone cold. Other than that, it was QUIET, peaceful, CLEAN and we LOVED it!"
