This is a wonderful property. Owners keep it clean and it’s well appointed and well stocked in kitchen. Owners are quick to respond with questions. No doubt a 5-star listing. Great location to use for a ND football weekend. 20 mins to stadium.
We had an amazing stay. The house was beautifully decorated with updated amenities. Upon arrival our instructions for check-in were clear and easy to follow. The house was sparkling clean!! Our two families had plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy being together. Friday night we relaxed at the house watching movies on the large screen TV! We spent Saturday at the ND game --the 20-23 minute drive to campus was easy and filled with beautiful Fall scenery. Sunday we had brunch at Nikkis in a nearby town and then went hiking near the Tabor Hill winery! Although we did not find much to do right in Buchanan, we did find groceries at Hardings as well as delicious pizza in downtown Buchanan. Our host was amazing and answered our few questions very quickly. We hope to stay again next year for another ND football Family reunion. Many thanks to our host.
Comfortable, clean and up to date home in a residential area walking distance to town. My friends and I
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this pleasant atmosphere.
This was perfect for our small group of four. The supplies that were provided were great and appreciated. Hosts were very good at communicating with me. Highly recommend. Only suggestion is to provide a hair dryer (my wife made me include that comment 🤣).
We were there for 2 night, slept 7 adults first night and 9 + 2 kids the second night perfectly. My 23 yr old daughter and boyfriend opted to sleep on the super comfy couch rather than the an air mattress on the second night. We were there for a wedding with family that traveled from the east coast The wedding venue was 3 minutes
away (Serenity Woods Summit, beautiful). James was extremely understanding, flexible and kind with my constant changing plans. Everything you need is there! My only caution would be for older folks, stairs to two bedrooms are very steep. We were able to use a main floor bedroom for my blind sister so it still worked out perfect! If I didn’t live an hour north I’d stay again. Maybe next kid!
Thank You James!
Great proximity to local wineries/breweries such as Round Barn and Tabor Hill as well as places for hiking and exploring. The fall foliage was quite colorful everywhere we looked. This house is in a quiet town and was very cozy. We enjoyed the fireplace and sitting area. The owners were very nice to work with and were very prompt with their communication.
The house is even better than what it looks like in the pictures. Beautiful renovated interior, very clean, with extra supplies for cooking, extra towels, linen, hygiene and cleaning products, even wood and fire starter for the fire pit! The hosts were prompt with communication and made us feel very welcome!
We had 4 kids in our group (3-7 yo) and they had toys to play with, enjoyed the back yard and watched movies on the huge TV.
We spent the day at Warren Dunes and it was an easy 26 minutes drive to the beach. We highly recommend the place.
