Awesome communication beforehand, and a lovely location. This is the second year my my friends and I have visited this spot so that we can hit up Chesterfield reservoir the next morning for the early bite.

This was the perfect choice for a stay between Soda Springs and Lava Hot Springs. Everything was clean and ammenities were thoughtful.We felt right at home.
The home and location were very quiet, quaint, and cozy. The host was gracious and attentive to our emails. We had a wonderful time. We brought our two mid-sized dogs and they loved to doggie doors and huge backyard. The kitchen and furinshings were very good quality and adequite. The only negative was the spound of a distant train occasionally, but it was not overwhelming.

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.
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.

This was a lovely property with plenty of amenities. The owner was very kind and communicative.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
