About the host
Hosted by Michelle Ficker

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.
