About this property

Lava Hot Springs Country Retreat - Sleeps 4+

About this space
Our newly completed cabin is ready to go. Our country retreat is just outside the world famous Lava Hot Springs! Our custom-built, cozy (400 sq. ft.) cabin will comfortably sleep 4 people. Escape the bustle of Lava Hot Springs (15 minutes) with beautiful mountain views (in a country farm setting) and yet close enough to run to town for some more fun. Our 2 bedroom (including the loft) 1 bathroom cabin is a perfect escape!

If you need more space we have another unit on site-sleeps 8.

The space
Our unique cabin retreat offers the perfect getaway. Whether it's an outdoor adventure with hiking, 4-wheeling, hunting, or mountain biking or simply a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. This cabin has something for everyone.

You'll love the hammocks, covered picnic table, fire pit/grill and views of the national forest all around. Bancroft is a Union Pacific main railroad route. If you love trains, you'll love our place. The train tracks are about 3 blocks from our cabin. There are frequent trains that pass by during the day and the night.

This is a shortened loft. There isn't room to stand in the loft. Bedding, pillows, sheets provided as well. You can pay for 2 extra guests, but we don't provide bedding or linen for the extra people. You can bring a sleeping bag or an air mattress if you'd like. The extra fee is for utilities, water, general wear and tear associated with extra people.

CAUTION: The stairs to the loft are steep and not suitable for children or adults with physical limitations. Do not allow children to use (unaided) or play on stairs. We are not responsible for any accidents or injuries.

Some amenities include DVD player, 55” TV, air conditioning, heating, and washer/dryer. This is a GREAT location to do much more than Lava Hot Springs. Relax in the courtyard area with BBQ grill/fire pit, hammocks and picnic table. The property is complete with 2 high-quality, queen mattresses plus a small kitchen. The loft upstairs overlooks the family room/TV area.

The refurbished farmhouse on site will be rented separately, but will share the outdoor common area (fire pit, hammocks, picnic table, etc.) with guests who rent this cabin.

Pack your swimsuit and make your way to our vacation rental near Lava Hot Springs, Idaho! Enjoy our brand new cabin with stunning mountain views. Unwind and make campfire memories on the courtyard patio with seating, BBQ grill and table. We are on the edge of the small farming and railroad town of Bancroft, Idaho (population 356). Embrace the laid-back lifestyle of a small town in a country setting. No need to trailer snow machines or ATVs. The property is right next door to national forest trails.

Bancroft is a quiet community with approximately 390 residents. Our town lies in the midst of the Caribou Highlands, surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery and productive fields of grain and potatoes. We are proud of our town and want all who visit here to feel of our warm country atmosphere.

LAVA HOT SPRINGS 3-Day Itinerary (here is what we like to do)

DAY ONE: Soda Springs area! Soda Springs Geyser Park. Hooper Springs Park. Golf. Visit Historic Chesterfield. Check-in to our cabin (after 4pm). Hamburger BBQ and relax in the hammocks. After dinner go to the World Famous Lave hot springs (hot pots, sunken garden). Back to the cabin and enjoy a campfire, smores, stargazing, then a movie.

DAY TWO: Lava Hot Springs pool (pack a lunch)! Pools, slides, diving platforms, etc. Enjoy delicious pizza in Lava Hot Springs at Royals and then ice cream at Sweet Stuff. After dinner take in a drive-in movie at the Idan-Ha Drive-In Theater (Soda Springs) or watch a movie at our place.

DAY THREE: Pack up/check out. Spend the day floating the Portneuf River at Lava Hot Springs! The 4 person tubes are safer, but the single tubes are more exciting. Also, South Bannock County Museum or Lava Hot Springs city park (5th and main).

We currently do not have WIFI/internet.

You could pitch a tent or bring your own bedding to sleep a couple of more people if necessary (additional cost).

Coziest and cutest lil cabin

We booked during a complete white out snow storm which took us later than expected to check in, although arriving late our hosts responded and helped us within seconds! Once you open the door it's the most attractive and welcoming lil space you could ever wanna have that is just enough space to give you what you want but also close enough to feel the warmth and love of those you are staying with. Everything from the decor, atmosphere was so perfect. We enjoyed relaxing at the pools and returning back to the cabin where we cozied up and enjoyed each other. The host is very responsive, considerate, kind, communicative and easy to work with. Because we were snowed in and couldn't enjoy the outside rec area, we plan on booking again in the summer so we can get the full effect of this quaint and comfortable lil cabin!

Cute, quiet getaway

We spent a lovely weekend in this cozy little space and it was perfect for what we were looking for. We’ll definitely try to stay again and maybe try to book the adjoining house with some friends. Thanks for the wonderful time!

A great get away

It was nice we had trouble finding it as the cabin is much darker than the photo and the address was hard to read a much lighter blue on the black might be better, We loved the inside, and our service animal loved the middle of the floor on his theraputic bed. we would absolutely stay there again

Amazing

Our stay was absolutely amazing. This home is exactly what we were looking for and just a short ride to lava hot springs. We loved this house. Decor was amazing, smelled amazing and very clean. I would only recommend changing the shower head and getting another mirror. Lol. We would definitely stay here anytime we are back that way.

Hosted by Lyle Francom

My wife and I have 4 children, 2 boys and 2 girls. My wife is an elementary school teacher and I work in the construction industry. We are pleased to offer our our home away from home for you to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

This property is unique because it is situated just a short drive from Lava which provide great access to Lava but far enough away to enjoy some piece and quite after a day of fun in town. Our home and cabin is family friendly and resides in Bancroft City, one of the last remaining small towns in our beautiful country. The residents of Bancroft love the guests our property brings in and enjoys interacting with them. Our property is a good place to stay and relax, enjoy the great outdoor activities and is a short commute to Lava, Pocatello and many other surrounding communities/cities.

What makes this property unique

Stay here and enjoy a clean, comfortable property without the cost of staying in Lava. Homes in Lava are loud, not kept up and expensive to rent (sometimes 2-3 times what we charge).
