Cozy Stay

This place looks amazing and the vibes were so cozy and relaxing. Everything listed in the pictures was accurate. I definitely want to stay again in the warmer months because it did rain and snow a little so didn’t get a chance to enjoy the outdoors. Only thing I would say is that the water wasn’t very hot, but hey it wasn’t cold. The communication and property was lovely.

Perfect weekend house

We had a large group in town for ND graduation and the housing options with accommodations for 10 people felt slim. We are so happy to have found such a cool, festive home in South Bend so close to campus that offered both fun and relaxing vibes for our group ages 4 to 75. The listing photos do make the rooms appear larger than they actually are, but for only a few nights we didn’t mind the close quarters. Allie was helpful and responsive. Thanks for a giving us a “home base” for the long weekend!

We were in town for the ND - Texas A&M football weekend. The best part of the house is its location from campus; just a block down the road from the Linebacker. While the house is well-appointed, it needs a good cleaning inside and out as most of the furniture and rugs were stained. Also, the coffee maker didn't work which was a huge disappointment to everyone in the house. For the money we paid for a football weekend, I expect a much higher standard of cleanliness and service. It was the most money we ever paid for a ND weekend and been coming for over 35 years.

Amazing stay!

We can’t thank the hosts enough. The property was perfect for our group of 15 (8 adults and 7 kids between 3 and 16). It very conveniently located to the Notre Dame campus, maybe a 15 minute walk. The house is exactly as advertised. The adults enjoyed congregating around the kitchen and the kids loved the basement. The host was very responsive. We couldn’t recommend this house enough.

Excellent Experience

We were in town for a lax tournament in Edwardsburg with three other families. The place was perfect-extremely clean, great layout for the kids and adults to hang out, and very close to Notre Dame. It had everything we needed. The host had every detail covered and we did not need to bring anything, except food and drink.

Easter Family Getaway

We traveled to South Bend to spend the Easter weekend with our daughter who attends ND. What a great location so close to campus. The house provides many indoor/outdoor entertainment options and is so spacious! Everything is generously stocked and we had everything we needed when cooking all of our meals. Check in and checkout was simple and communication was great. Everyone in the family gives it a 2 thumbs up and looks forward to returning!

Notre Dame Headquarters 👍

Group of families stayed for a weekend tournament at Notre Dame. Can walk to campus and short drive to our fields. Plenty of games to keep everyone entertained. Everything was as described, couldn’t recommend this house enough, especially if you want to be around Notre Dame. Was a wonderful experience and a made great memories.

Excellent choice for a game weekend

Worked out very well for our group of 13. Would have been tight if we had bumped up to the 16 (as advertised), though I think that would number have worked if 5 or 6 had been young kids. Pretty amazing how comfortable we were, even though the house itself is not outright huge. Owner has done a nice job maximizing beds and still leaving several sitting/social areas. Easy walking distance to tailgating and campus a very nice plus. Only two small bathrooms, which just meant we had to start the showers early to get out of the house on time. House isn't fancy but definitely fit the bill for our group. Cleaners forgot to replenish some supplies, but owner was responsive.
