Bruce is an incredible communicator and checks to ensure all needs are met. The property itself is perfect for a family gathering. I was concerned the layout might not be conducive to 20 or so people gathering for our Christmas gathering, but it actually proved perfect. So much so that we have already booked the property again for our 2026 family holiday gathering!
Lovely, comfortable, spacious place to get together with family! Bruce was quick to respond to any questions we had. Would definitely recommend this place!
We booked last minute and host was very accommodating. How was clean and beds were very comfortable. I would definitely stay again. And recommend to others.
Bancroft house worked out perfectly for our family christmas get together. Plenty of space for four families to spread out. Large dining room and game room for the kids were great. Would stay here again.
We spent the weekend there to celebrate our son's college graduation. The house is gorgeously renovated and had all the things we needed. 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. Thanks for sharing your great house!
Right off the bat, my family and I were thinking about when we could make our next trip up and stay here. It was clean, finishes were well done, and comfortable. Plenty of room for our whole family, but good communal areas to hang out. Plenty of towels, glassware, silverware, and cookware. Honestly, the best part is the location. Incredibly convenient as it's close to I-80. We were at the zoo in 7 minutes, got to the Husker game in less than an hour, and there was plenty to do right around the house. Bruce was communicative and helpful, as well, throughout the whole process. A great experience overall.
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.
We rented the Bancroft house for our family Christmas trip. The house is beautifully remodeled! It's in a great location close to local attractions & restaurants. The hosts were amazing with communication & amenities included were top notch. We had 12 adults plus a toddler and there was plenty of space for everyone.

Thanks for the kind words! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in Omaha at Bancroft House. Come see us again.
We gathered our family for a weekend in Omaha and really enjoyed our stay. The home was just like the photos with well thought out amenities! We appreciated the location for ease of access to parks, the zoo, and I80.
We’d like to stay here again next year!
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. Thank you!
The space was very clean and very nice!! There were many small touches that made the experience that much better! It was perfect for me and my friends. We had so much fun!

Thank you, we are so glad you had a great stay. Come visit and stay with us again!
This is a beautiful house with more than enough room for our party of 12. The hosts were really great about communication during the entire process. Of all the vacation rental homes we have stayed in around the country, the Bancroft house was the most hospitable and best stocked with household essentials, linens, games and even more. Thank you for a wonderful spring break stay in Omaha!

We rented this house for our family to stay at for the week of our son’s wedding. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The kitchen and dining room was so accommodating for us all. I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you for sharing your house with us.

Why they chose this property
Bancroft house is in a quaint midtown neighborhood. It is centrally located in the city and has easy interstate access so all metro destinations are easily reached by car in less that 15-20 minutes. Aksarben Village, the Blackstone District, and the Old Market offer different vibes to meet your needs and are nearby. The neighborhood is close to the University of Nebraska Medical Center campus. We love the convenience this location offers.
What makes this property unique
This house is bigger than it looks! It has 6 separate bedrooms so everyone in your travelling party may have their own room. The patio in front offers cool breezes on hot summer nights and a gas fire pit to warm you on cooler evenings. The rec room in the basement has arcade-style video games and board games to entertain families. We have 8 ROKU-equipped televisions in the house for the days when the weather doesn't cooperate with your plans or you just want a quiet day or evening to relax and binge your favorite shows.
