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.

Lava Retreat

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.

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!

Great stay near lava hot springs!

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.

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!

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.

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.
