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.

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.

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.

Delightful stay

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.
