Gross dirty abandoned and scary.. pool was green. Room covered in ants not customer service at all. Garbage everywhere. Private soak tubs no working if thats what u want to call them. Do not book. Totally not worth $$$ read more

Keep in mind it's a motel. Very simple, small, clean rooms. There are bugs - but you are in the wild. Back hot spring pool is a plus. We enjoyed some time there. There is a net to fish out all the gunk ( dead insects and leaves) Just remember - there is no signal out there whatsoever. So can't use phone. When you get there, log into the internet (password written outside the store) then text the number also written outside the store. Then they tell you what room you are in. It's a nice scenic drive to the place. read more

Our experience was a mess. We booked a room at the Motel a week or two in advance. My Husband texted back and forth with the owner a few times and we received 3 emails Confirming the reservation but neither the owner or the emails said anything like "Your room number is ___" or this is a "self check in" motel. As we were driving up there I read some reviews and they were mixed, there were a few that stood out because the Owners responded very defensively but we were already on our way and excited for a rustic weekend in a quant room with a "private" hot spring tub in back. We get there and see the motel and closed office at 5pm, check in was 4pm, and not a soul in sight! My husband went to the gas station area, the door was open so he shouted and no answer. He found the Wi-Fi password on the door, there is no cell service out there, and tried messaging and calling the owners to no avail so we went to the motel area and looked for an unlocked door, because I read in a review that's how she found her room. The rooms were all unlocked with a key on the desk and they're all the same so we just picked the first one. We drove to Stanley, an hour away, ( not complaining because we knew it was not close to anything and that was fine just stating it for timeline purpose) and had dinner came back to the room and still had not received a message or call from the owner. We went in the back to soak in the "private" tub and it not as private as we would have liked but we were just trying to make the best of it. We were talking and playing quiet music but felt weird bc it was getting late and the room next door was now occupied so we could hear them and knew they could hear us. We were there for our anniversary so we were trying to have a intimate and private weekend. We decided to go inside and there were lights shining threw the blinds and people looking in the window, there were no curtains to draw. Embarrassingly we were naked because we had just gotten out of the hot tub and showered and getting dressed. The people were knocking on the door and saying hello hello. It is about 9:30pm at this point, as I said we were not dressed, so we weren't going to answer the door! At this point the owner messages and says "You're in room 2, it is ready" We were like no at this point we are settled in and this is insane that they're JUST NOW answering! This was all awful, uncomfortable and weird but the worst part of all was that when my Husband left a Google review explaining the situatio, even being nice enough to state the good things about the place, The owner replied that it was our fault for being in the wrong room and that we shouldn't have been "running around naked in the wrong room" And for us to not blame them for OUR lack of preparation!!! That would be true if we had known what room to be in!!! The bottom line is the owners are so completely unorganized and unprofessional. We are not the only review with this problem but instead of taking constructive feedback they attack you! The check in is confusing and not easy to understand! Period! I would never waste my money!!!! It's not worth the trouble! There are better hotsprings all over Idaho with friendly people to greet and check you in or explain the process of checking in! If you want a hot spring with no check in, in a rustic environment there are free ones all over as well! The rooms were clean enough but the rest of the property looks like a Hoarder Haven! DO NOT GO HERE!!! P.S. I'm not a Karen! I've never left a bad review in my life, it was that bad!!!!! read more

What an awesome and unique place! This was our third year in a row going there. Every year we come, more improvements are made. Now the hot spring pool is perfect. We came in mid-January and it was the perfect temperature for us. Like a huge hot tub that is like 5 feet deep, and that is surrounded by the rest of the water that is probably about 80°. I liked jumping out of the hot part into the cooler part to cool off for a minute. Lots of fun, and open during the night for us night owls. Also, the private hot spring tubs right out the back door of your room are really cool too. Ray made us an outstanding breakfast. They are always so friendly and accommodating. We originally came here mostly because of the proximity to Kirkham Hot Springs and Pine Flats Hot Springs, but we ended up falling in love with the place itself. read more

We love the Lowman area. Having a hot pool in the area is a plus. We have been several times over the years. We always hope that the pool will be a little cleaner as the owners get a better handle on things. This last time we went in July. The pool had so much green algae. We were concerned about the health issues. I do wonder if the water is ever tested. I think the health department needs to be contacted. Consumers need to know if the water is dangerous or not. This could be such a wonderful place if the water was cleaner. I hope the owners are able to get it under control. That little place could be gem. It has potential. read more

Fun getaway in winter. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend. Beautiful drive up and nice scenery from the pool. Next time might rent a room from the hotel. read more

This is an older place under a new management. We purchased our tickets for Monday on Friday and stopped here on our way back home from Stanley. We had the whole pool to ourselves which was awesome. The water was nice and hot, much hotter than any other hot springs we visited in the past. There is a changing room (a shed) and a porta potty (needs to be emptied). The pool itself needs a new paint and a lot of work as do the grounds (everything looks run down) but for the price it was definitely worth the stop and we enjoyed being there. read more

I cannot give enough stars for this review to summarize how incredibly happy I was with this stay. This is one of, if not the best hotel stays I've ever had. The room was incredible, and it had its own private hotspring fed tub outback. Did I mention PRIVATE hottub?! The service was great too. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. Furthermore, I was happy to partake in their restaurant fare. I had the best steak I've had in ages (I don't eat a lot of red meat, but when I do I'm picky about it), and it was cooked to perfection. Local beer is on hand as well. Coffee and killer breakfast burritos in the morning...this place has it all. If you're in the area or not, go out of your way to stay here! read more

Went today was planning on going to kirkham but pulled in and saw all the nonsense , pulled into the parking lot of haven hotsprings and luckily ran into the owners (we could of booked online) but they kindly greeted us, helped situate the payment and pointed us towards the pools! Was awesome no one was there, snow was falling and they have just done a ton of work to it and it looked amazing. Moody definitely will return. Great low key guaranteed soak. Not expensive either . Five out of five! read more

Not recommended. As others have noted, the place is deserted, the pools are not clean, and there are safety hazards with green slime adhering to the steps and pool floors. The waters are murky. I've been to dozens of hot springs in the US and other countries, including those that are very rustic and basic, but still clean and enjoyable. This is not like that. Don't go. Try the riverside hot springs on public land nearby instead. read more

this is a total ripoff. made a reservation and paid in advance. when I arrived no one was there. cafe, motel, store all closed. service station looked like it had been closed for years. took my money and I seem to have no recourse. read more

The owner is beyond helpful. This such a cute cafe. let's say the food was simple yet delicious. It's a stop to go visit. They even offer chocolate from traders joe.The owner is so kind and even fix my tires. read more

Huge heated clean pool with a million dollar view of the river and mountains. Helpful owners. Restaurant and store with a Chevron gas station. Propane available. Camping spaces in back are convenient to the pool. read more

The hot springs has three pools. The Hot was not that hot and others were much cooler. The changing facility is a shed. We suggest having a broom to sweep out the sand and a few more hooks for clothing. Safety concerns with slick algae and concrete block steps w/o hand rails. In general needs more attention to details. But the place was quiet. We were not disturbed. Friendly dog greets you. The RV spots are close together but have trees. Nothing was open when we were there on a Sunday. The private hot tubs at the motel sound great too.. read more

Horrible experience! Owner left his 5-6 year old children unattended by the hot springs and didn't come check in on them. They were screaming the whole time, no peace whatsoever. Won't go back ever again. Don't recommend, go to Kirkham down the road which is much nicer and peaceful and free. read more

So if your looking for a beautiful hot springs experience in the snow with wildlife walking all around you, without the scary steep hike in and painfully cold walk back to your car...this is the place to go! read more

STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE! We booked for a private soak in the evening so we can watch the stars after dinner. These people basically stole our money! No one was there to greet us as they posted a hand-written note how they are short-staffed. The address took us to the motel, which was dimly lit when we arrived after dark for our 7PM soak. We walked around the property with no phone reception so we couldn't contact anyone. This motel seems like a place out of horror movie and their response to my refund request was even worse. NOTE: I later found out through Google Map that the pool is down the road from the address! I paid, texted to confirm my reservation as it's a drive from Boise, and later found out they closed early with no instructions that it was a self-service pool down the road from the address given. They're certainly quick to take your money and even quicker to snap back at the customer. I highly recommend that Lisa and Miranda get some sort of training on customer service or basic human decency. read more

This place under new management is still horrible . It was dirty, run down and a huge disappointment for the Kids. No hot food, green pool, nasty old non matching bedding. Clearly they haven't passed any health department checks.... example no hot food. read more

This is our second time dining at Haven Hot Springs. The first was on a "recon mission" to find a camping location for the family, and the second on our camping trip. This will be somewhere we stop any time we are in the Lowman area. Tonight's dish is a Ribeye with grilled onions atop. Their dinners always come with multiple sides, and all appear to be homemade. Previously I had the ribs, and they are to die for. The barbeque sauce is like none I have ever had, but amazing on the "fall off the bone ribs". Also for such a quaint place the beer selection is fantastic featuring many imports from Germany and Russia. If you are heading either way on highway 21 this is the place to stop. read more

We stayed here on our way from Stanley to Portland, OR. The motel is under new management and they are working out a few kinks, but the rooms look like they have been updated and are spanking clean. The large hot springs pool was a treat, and the owners are sweet and talkative. It's pretty cool being so far away from a cell signal but still have decent wifi and satellite TV. The cafe wasn't fully up and running when we came through, but they had some limited food, ice cream, and milkshakes. read more

If you want a covid friendly place this is not where you want to go..no safety precautions and no masks what so ever. And the counter girl told us she already had covid and "didn't care". If I could leave a negative star i would. This place is awful. The pool is disgusting and we know from locals that they never clean it. To make matters worse, we booked a 9 to 10 time slot, got there at 930, the girl at the office who was watching a movie as we came in said we could stay as long as we wanted and enjoy our time. Great. Then some tourists came into the "gated" pool and complained that our dogs had barked at them. Only to go and grab the same office girl and come out and fabricate a story that our dogs had bit him, with no proof to show, as the girl sided with the couple because they were "guests" at the pool but even tho we reserved our spot we weren't as important. The entire experience was disgusting and completely disrespectful. Will never be back. Should have listened to the locals and not have gone in the 1st place. read more

Can't say enough good things about Haven Hot Springs!!! Room was impeccably clean + we had our own personal hot spring out our back door, also clean. Ray, the new owner, was extremely kind and welcoming. We had a home cooked dinner in the restaurant and then bought beers from their convenience store to bring back to our hot spring!! The area was beautiful + we really had a great time! Travelled from Massachusetts to visit Idaho and will definitely be back at some point to stay at Haven!! Thanks Ray! read more

I took my boyfriend for his 40th birthday as a surprise. It was our first visit & we loved it so much we extended our stay. They went above & beyond to make our visit more special than I had anticipated. We plan to visit a few times a year. read more

Although this happened in the summer of 2010, I would love to share this with everyone. My buddy and I were on a cross country bicycle trek and bit off more than we could chew riding from Boise to Lowman. Heat and long difficult climbs made it a 13 hour day. The sun had set and it began to rain as we struggled over the last pass on the Ponderosa Scenic Highway. In the dark and wet, we let'er rip and came down fast into Lowman, where a pickup truck flashed its lights. It was the owner of Haven Hot Springs coming out to look for us. The power was out because of the storm but she opened up the cafe and cooked us a memorable chicken dinner by candlelight. We checked in to a darkened room but soon power came on and we thanked our lucky stars that the day was over and that we had ended up where such consideration is probably normal. It turned out to be the hardest day of the whole adventure and a few weeks later, I arrived home in Minnesota. I did the ride to celebrate my 60th birthday. Experiences like this keep me in a positive state of mind regarding the human condition. Many Thanks to our friends in Lowman. read more

We spent the night at the Hot Springs! We wanted a nice quiet evening! We have stopped there many times and Operators were always fun and nice great food! So we figured hmm motel and pool must be good! So we made a reservation! 45th anniversary just wanted to kick back relax and not have to drive any place! We asked and they said yes someone would be at a restaurant and open for dinner and breakfast! Room with private hot tub sounded great! And a pool! So we BOOKED! We showed up at around 3:30 said 4:00 checkout at Noon?? Weird when do you enjoy the pool and tub? Check-in should be NOON! We were met by a man in a truck! Ok informed us our room opened and keys in there! We did ask him about the restaurant not open? We were told NOONE would be there! And would have to find other places! We had been told that someone would be cooking both dinner and breakfast by the manager! Ruined those plans!!! Ask if there was any ice? Nope all locked up? Ruined pan of drinks! We decided to check our room! Suprised that room was small very rustic and very nice and super clean! Well equipped nice beds! Wifi TV MW nice linen! Great! Then we checked out our private hot tub? It was a 5x6 foot 3-4 foot deep box! Straight out of the 50s! No steps no handrails no way get in out! Totally not handicap or senior friendly! We are Senior Citizens and I am just recovering from a broken ankle! Soak sounded so great! After a great deal of work and worry finally, we made it into the tub! Felt so nice! We tried to get out! Wife made it first not easy! I could NOT get out! She tried pushing pulling and hard work we gave up! She found and flimsy stool so I could get part way out! Finally, with the aide of a chair, I made it out and didn't fall or get hurt! This ruined any plans of any soaking before bed or morning! The main reason to be there! Looked at the pool above and didn't look any more handicap or senior friendly! Definitely does not meet Any building standards or safety standards for motels or pools! Total hazard! Never been SO disappointed with a place! Not a word in there advertising or description of property!! Lawsuit magnet! Beware before you BOOK! Overpriced and a sham!

This is a super quaint little stop in Lowman. It has a large pool that is really nice to swim in, it's not the newest facility, but they have floaties and the view is incredible. I had to make sure I had a dip before we left in the morning. Ray, one of the owners is super nice, and his daughter was adorable as well. He was making her pancakes at the café while we were buying some basic. read more

We loved our stay at Haven Hot Springs Hotel this fall. This family-run hotel was very comfortable and reasonably priced. The owners and their cook put out some great homemade meals. The best part was each unit has a private outdoor fenced-in small pool with hot springs water heating the pool. Rooms were VERY CLEAN. Was a pleasure to meet the owners and darling family. Would highly recommend this quaint hotel in Lowman, ID. read more

We stayed 3 nights and had a great time. We had a family reunion and we went to ther pool we ate their popsicles we had a grand time. All the staff were wonderful the dog was cute the cat was even cuter. It was quiet at night we had no problems I would recommend this hotel to everyone. We will be back. JC read more

We are fulltime RVers and prefer to camp where it's FREE but we found the folks at Haven Hot Springs to be *very* accommodating and helpful. So far, we've been to the cafe four times and have found the food to be excellent . . . they even have cooled mugs for red beer! They let us use their WiFi for free and that's a huge deal for those of us who travel fulltime. Never once did we feel rushed and the owners always made us feel welcome. We came here once and never felt any reason to go anywhere else. read more

My sister and I with some friends came and stayed five nights at this wonderful place. It couldn't of been better. Great people, food and lots of elk. The only thing I regret was having to leave but Lisa , the owner said I could stay ! LOL And I almost did. Loved Ruby and Bridgette ! What great daughters Ray and Lisa have. They all make you feel like your at home. Will be seeing you all again. Thank You Ray and Lisa !! read more

We used to go here for years and had the best time. We could easily book a room by calling and reserving with Marla. The food was the best back then. We just went up again a few weeks ago and couldn't book a room unless you went through Air BnB and pay in advance online and if you cancel, you lose some if not all of your deposit!! We called several times and left messages, but never received a call back. We ate in the cafe and the food was horrible. We'll have to find a new place to spend our weekends. read more

This was probably the worst place I have ever visited. Rooms were stank and small. We booked but could not stay there. Walked in and walked out. Outdated bedding and furniture and uncomfortable beds. Fence outside our room "private" tub was falling down so we had no privacy. Pool was green with algae. Cafe was inoperable so we had zero food options. I thought the manager was creepy and didn't feel comfortable staying with my two young girls. Do not stay here! Owners charged us full price and claimed we were hard on the room????? They are liars ant thieves. From the previous reviews sounds like food is good but don't waste your money or time to stay in rooms. read more

Haven Hot Springs is a small motel adjacent to a restaurant and gas station along Highway 21. From Boise you take Highway 55 and turn right towards Garden Valley. At the junction that takes you to Stanley you take a left and the motel is on the left side about 4 miles up the road. Each room has a small backyard with a 6 foot fence around it. And each backyard has a small in-ground hot springs in it. The tubs are big enough to fit 2-4 people comfortably and the springs are 148 degrees. There's a garden hose with cold water near the tub to cool it down when needed. We came up on a Friday in the afternoon and left - sadly - the next day. The rooms of the motel are small and clean. The hosts are gracious. The restaurant was a pleasant surprise - we had a full rack of ribs with their special sauce for dinner. Even the salad, beans with mashed potatoes and Texas toast were good. For breakfast we had sourdough pancakes made with a starter that had been in the family for 100 years. They were delicious! As we ate breakfast we looked out the restaurant window at a herd of elk grazing on the hillside. At night we soaked in the hot springs and heard frogs close by, the ponies gently stirring in their corral and the bubbling of the springs as it came out of the plastic pipe in our tub. It's perfect to visit in cold weather - the springs keep you warm and toasty while the rain or snow is falling. The rooms have a small fridge, microwave and coffee maker, enough towels for the springs and a shower, and a small tv that is controlled from the restaurant. You can call to request a channel but all the rooms watch it. This was the perfect quick getaway for an overnight stay outside of town. The tubs are unique and private. The motel is clean. The springs obviously run under the rooms and this makes the linoleum floor warm and a pleasure to walk on after you've gotten out of the shower or the tub. The food at the restaurant is awesome. The only thing I can't vouch for is how quiet the rooms are when someone is next to you, because we stayed in an end unit with no one next door to us. Very peaceful while we were there. We will stay here again. read more

Did some Idaho exploring and celebrating my son's birthday. I can't find anything to criticize. If you love the setting, tubs and pool/hot tubs, the restaurant makes it even better. The best part is getting to meet the people that run it. Loved it, and we will become regulars. read more
