The Bancroft House is a spacious home located in the heart of Omaha's Midtown area. This century old home has been very recently remodeled with the comfort of our guests as a top priority.

This home is over 3200 finished square foot and is very spacious, allowing guests to spread out.

Omaha wedding College World Series

This house was perfect for our large group. It was impeccably stocked with all the right supplies and had a lot thoughtful touches. The design and layout were ideal for my family of 9 adults. The house is super cute and had something for everyone-we especially liked the mini-arcade in the basement! The location was very central to everything we wanted to do. The owners were easy to get ahold of and very responsive. It made our trip effortless.

Lots of space for family to stay and friends to visit to celebrate with us. Immaculately clean and so easy to check in and out. Plus, the beds were super comfy and we slept so well.

This is our second year staying here for a confernce at the CHI convention center. Perfect location for the center and such a better stay than hotels. We love that we can all comfortably stay here, have privacy when we need it, but team bonding time in multiple communal areas too. We will be back again if our conference continues to stay in Omaha.

Wonderful home close to EVERYTHING!

This stay in Omaha was a perfect family getaway experience for us. Lots of bedrooms, bathrooms and space. Super clean, beautifully decorated, and the owners have thought of everything. Within 10 min of everything and so close to the zoo and downtown. Have to note that this has been the best rental host experience we have ever had! Bruce and Lisa have done a phenomenal job with the property, their communication was A+, and they have gone above and beyond to provide recommendations, and so much more.

Omaha Fun Times!

The Bancroft house was the perfect place for my family to stay during our daughter’s graduation weekend. The spacious home provided plenty of room for 11 of us to gather, eat and sleep comfortably. Family from New Zealand, Raleigh, California, and Hawaii were able to be together. For a lot of us, this was the first time we were able to meet our 3 -month-old granddaughter. The owner had two play cribs available for us to use with brand new sheets, still in the package. That was one of many personal touches the owners did to make us feel so welcome and at home. Bedding and towels were top quality. All the comforts of a luxury hotel. Kitchen appliances are new and the kitchen is stocked with plenty of dishes, cookware, wine glasses and a coffee bar. Fresh fruit and protein bars greeted us at arrival. Which was perfect after a long day of travel. Communication with the owner was very good. Check in and check out was a breeze. The locks on the doors were easy to use and allowed all of us to come and go without the hassle of keys. Freshly remodeled, the owners paid attention to detail and did not cut corners. Beautifully designed and comfortable. The dining room table is huge, even without the leaf, it was a great place to gather together. Centrally located and convenient to everything we did, the neighborhood was quiet and safe. This is an exceptional property. Do not miss out on the chance to stay here.

Family gathering

The house was spacious and clean. The location was good, and the outdoor space was awesome for outdoor games and our dogs. The only thing that I was disappointed in was that the listing stated two single beds in the living room, I was expecting a day bed or a chair that folded out into a bed and found nothing. After some searching, we found two twin air mattresses in the closet.

This home is as nice as the listing shows, maybe even nicer. My group of twelve were very comfortable in this clean, charming, very tastefully decorated home with a very nice fenced in outdoor space. The hosts were immediately responsive to any needs or questions, and also had fresh fruit, treats, and bottled water for us upon our arrival. Truly welcoming! The beds, the towels, the coffee bar…everything was top notch! We highly recommend the Bancroft House!
