What is TMLOA – Thunder Mountain Land Owner Association? It is wonderful retreat nestled in the mountains above Lava Hot Springs. Membership is required. There are an estimated 319 lots. Entry, stay, and camping is restricted to association members’ sites only, with trailers, and cabins, most commonly seen. Membership association dues are $175.00, per lot, for the 2023 year, and will be $175 future years.
A gate to Thunder Mountain allows association members, enter with a code, to provide a little more security than other places. All roads are gravel with maintenance overseen in spring and summer months. Water is obtained from a spring for use by association members only. There is a metal shed at the entry where landowner meetings are held. When available, there is space inside for association members to rent.
Spring and summer has a lot of activity on the mountain. Wild animals are a common sight. Fall is gorgeous with the beautiful colors of autumn leaves. On a crisp winter day a land owner could view the wonder of nature while covered with snow.
Lava Hot Springs is a quaint little town in southeast Idaho, north of TMLOA, with a grocery store, restaurants, hardware, swimming pool, and of course what Lava is famous for, the natural hot pots.
