The property itself was as advertised. The interior of the house was clean and comfortable and the backyard was private and provided a great spot to relax whether for morning coffee or some afternoon / evening beverages. We walked the town and found everyone we met to be friendly. I got my postcards out at the Bancroft Post Office and had dinner one night at the Bancroft Trading Post. The owner, Mike, was very friendly. The food was good and fairly priced. The location provided us easy access to our visits at Lava Hot Springs and Soda Springs. There are some homes in the neighborhood that could use some TLC, but absolutely no complaints about the Bancroft Bungalow.
Nice home in a quiet neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to the next 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
