We stayed at this property specifically to go to Lava. It was a bit of a drive, but we had the space we needed so it was worth it. It is definitely the nicest home in the neighborhood. It has been completely updated and contained everything we needed. The host was very kind and kept us updated during our stay.
We had a girls getaway weekend and loved this place! The backyard was perfect for our dogs. It's quiet and was only 15 min from lava hot springs, so we got to enjoy the town and then head back for some quiet time.

So convenient to Lava Hot Springs yet far enough away from the crowds of downtown during the Fire and Ice Festival when a bit of peace and quiet is needed.

Excellent place to stay while you go to the Lava Hot Springs, very clean an quiet, house was very cozy and cute
The property was clean, it was stocked with anything we could need, the only hiccup that we had was that I didn’t get the information that was supposed to be sent to me (like the code for the door) until I messaged them to get it when we got there. Absolutely loved the backyard!
This was a great place for us to stay. We visited Lava Hot springs and found this to be a close location to spend the night. Everything was clean and in order at the house.
It was a very nice stay in Bancroft. The house was great for our needs and a short drive away from Lava Hot Springs. The fenced in backyard was nice for the dog too.
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!
Older house updated appropriately nice inside and out . Great place if you have a dog nice backyard and fire pit And a privacy fence. Owner manager is quick to respond when needed . We enjoyed our stay in banock.
We had a very relaxing and comfortable stay. All the necessities were available. We would recommend this place and look forward to staying here again. Michelle was great to communicate with us.
This was in the perfect spot between Lava Hot Springs and Soda Springs. The house was clean and comfortable. Our favorite spot was the backyard! It was the perfect spot to relax after long days in the sun.
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.
Was exactly what I needed. Went hunting in the area and had this little home to sleep in. Very clean. Beds were harder than I like but at least I wasn't sleeping in my truck. Would rent again.

About the host
Hosted by Michelle Ficker
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.
