Wonderful experience

We had an amazing time during our stay. The house is adorable, clean, and well-renovated. It had all of the conveniences one would need. The mattresses.were really comfortable. The internet was fast and reliable. The host did an excellent job of snow/ice removal. We love staying in Bancroft, the location is very convenient and close to Lava Hot Springs and Soda Springs. We were very pleased and would stay again!

Super cute home in a quiet town, the town is small and there are beautiful fields driving into and out of the town. A train track runs nearby which we loved getting to see. The house is cute and very clean and comfortable. The backyard is super cute and felt so nice to sit in the hammock and chairs by the fire.

Cozy house with a great yard

The house was great and just what we were looking for as a quiet getaway for our family of 7. The house was clean and very updated. Kitchen had what you need to make meals, but not enough dishes for 7 people. I was having to wash for very meal. Bring along some paper plates and cups.

Awesome Property

This was our first time staying at a vacation rental home. This property is very nice and comfortable. The discription is written perfectly to discribe this property. We felt very at home. The drive to Lava Hot Springs only takes about ten minutes. This gives you time to get ready for fun.

Darling little bungalow

This bungalow was super cute and perfect for our 1 night stay in the area. We are a family of 6. It was very clean and communication was very fast and easy with the owner. The backyard is especially wonderful. Stores and restaurants are about 15 minutes away, so plan ahead for your stay. We had some wild temperature fluctuations with the weather during our stay. The heating and cooling both worked well in the bungalow. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Sleepy little town

This was our first time to Bancroft. 15 Mike's or so to Lava Hot Springs. It's a pretty drive. The backyard fire pit was very nice on the cold evenings. It's set up very cute. The towels were new and nice. Neighborhood is quiet. Unable to find anything to cook a roast in the oven and no crockpot so bring your own. Also bring salt, pepper, foil, ziplocks if you need them. It's not the cleanest of properties. I think it's great to have a pet friendly property but those of us that didn't bring our pets or don't have pets, having to deal with dog poop in the backyard was a bummer. Streaming services for tv viewing available. We had a nice time and made the very best of our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Ficker

Host profile image
Joaquin and Michelle have lived all over the west. We enjoy the outdoors and spending time in nature. Joaquin is an outdoorsmen and grew up in Soda Springs, Idaho. Michelle is a fun loving, (wanna-be hippy) and loves spending time with her family and friends. She grew up in Logan, Utah. They bought this home in Bancroft with the idea that they could come spend time with their family and slow down a bit.

Why they chose this property

Coming to the Bancroft bungalow is a wonderful opportunity to get away from the noise of life. The community is very small and intimate but kind and welcoming. The location of this house is far enough away from a big city but close enough to drive over to Lava Hot springs to soak your bones in the famous pools. We truly love our little home and hope when you stay you feel the same. We have a lot of pride in this little house and we would love to share it with others. The house has a wonderful fenced backyard for kids to play or dogs to run. There is a fire pit in the back yard for roasting marshmallows or to bring a guitar and sing campfire songs. Either way, it's a great place to make memories with your loved ones.
