The Home Hotel was one of the first large buildings in Lava Hot Springs. The property was acquired from John Hall in 1916 and the hotel was completed in October of 1918.
The Home Hotel was originally named after its first owner Mary Ann Ray and was called the Raya Hotel. Then in 1927, the second owners, Susan and Thomas McGinley, changed the name to the “Home Hotel”.
With our recent wave of renovation, we have changed the name again to the more simple and original: Home Hotel Lava Hot Springs.
For 100 years, the Home Hotel has provided family-operated, affordable, yet luxurious lodging with private hot springs, all within walking distance to the world famous Hot Pools.
Lava Hot Springs, Idaho was originally known to the Shoshone-Bannock peoples as “Poha-Ba” or “Land of Healing Waters.” Folklore says Lava was set aside as a place of peace.
