The Rockny House had everything we were looking for, to bad it went bye so fast. The spacious rooms were inviting with all of the fresh white linens & well lite when curtains were open. Large dinner table was great for preparations as the hours ticked bye always having a wide selection of options to snack on helped to fuel our ideas for the basement of fun where the children made sure to exercise there freedom to lounge in the cinema. Ending our day of entertainment in the spacious jacuzzi was a well earned rest.

Great Clean place to stay in South Bend

Great house to stay in while visiting South Bend. Beds/linens extremely clean, house overall is very clean and comfortably fits a large family/group of friends. Convenient to all stores and to Notre Dame campus -a short walk or a quick car ride. We highly recommend this property and would consider renting again on our next visit.

Great house for teen boys

We enjoyed the house as a way for our 13 yr old to have a weekend get away with his buddies for his bday party. Chose the house since there was plenty of entertainment indoors in February but had outdoor activities in case there was warmer weather. The basement is a teen boy’s paradise! They loved it!

Great house for a mom/daughter ND weekend

It was perfect to have 6 moms stay and for our mother daughter weekend. It was a great location close to campus so our girls could come hang out during the day and for dinner. The hot tub was huge and a huge hit. The outdoor grill worked great for preparing dinner. Plenty of space to socialize. Outdoor fire pit and large yard were both also terrific.

Winter Family Getaway

Do not overlook this VRBO for your next stay in South Bend. The most comfortable, warm, accommodating, communicative, organized, and well stocked home we have ever stayed. As a mum of 3 adult boys, we all had plenty of things to do even while being snowed in. It was convenient as well to only be a hour and a half away from Chicago O’Hare Airport as our Airman was to fly back to the UK the day we checked out. Thankful and grateful for the time and memories made at The Rockne House!

Fun family time!

Beds were comfortable, home was clean and well stocked with linens, towels, kitchen utensils and items, and loads of activities and games for the family. Even had candy, sodas(), and complimentary popcorn in the home theater. We had a ball!The hot tub was a big selling point for us because everyone was coming a great distance. The photos looked great but admittedly it was not the high point of the trip. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had. It is an older home that has been beautifully updated but be aware sound travels a lot. We could hear everything from our bedroom and what was happening downstairs and the HVAC was quite noisy.

Overall, this worked fine for a couple nights for 7 guys. Games in the basement were great, plenty of beds, communication from the host was good. However, we were let down based on the listing -- there is a lot of work that needs to be done on the house (one shower was super finnicky, pots and pans were scarce and not very clean, fridge was questionably cold, one of the chairs in the back was missing a leg, etc.). That plus the grill being in really bad shape and the basketball court/grill area being right next to a ton of stinky garbage. For the price, I was expecting much more, and we would have had a tough time if we had tried to fit the 18 people the listing says there's capacity for or if we had done the trip with wives and kids.

Great week at Notre Dame Game

My family had a great stay at the Rochne house and I would recommend it to everyone. The property was very clean, nicely maintained and super well equipped for a family. The basement is perfect with a large area for games that has lots of fun things. The movie room is great and the projector is easy to use. Matt even leaves snacks and drinks right in the room. It took me a minute but I realized that every couch could convert to a bed so there must be places for 20 people to sleep it seemed. (If there was a good problem it was that it was hard to get the kids to leave the house because there were so many fun things to do.) The back yard is also perfect for a family. The hot tub was actually hot and very big. The grill area was large and roomy. The fire pit is huge and has endless amount of wood. The back yard has a street behind it but it is not that busy and it is far enough away not to bother anyone. My experience with how close it is to the campus is mixed. The description in the write up is accurate and it is walking distance for adults. We decided to taxi the children expect for game day. We chose to get a tailgating spot for the game but that was just as much for the experience as it was due to the walking distance. Finally, Matt couldn’t have been nicer. He was very responsive and available if we had any problems. In the end we didn’t really need anything but it was nice to know he was ready to help out. Great place to get the full ND experience.

Lack of details

We arrived on a Friday and the cleaning lady was still there at 3:30 which for us was good because she explained how the front door lock worked. Handles on most of the outside doors were very lose and one even fell off , my husband fixed it . Other doors inside were very lose and didn't lock if there was a lock. Very disappointed with the bathroom situation , I knew there were only 2 but none in the basement where there were so many sleeping areas. Kitchen was overall needing help ,cabinet doors ready to fall off , sink not scrubbed ( use some Bar Keepers Friend powder it would work. Laundry room had piles of dirty sheets and towels and towels in dryer , wet sheets in washer , I would have liked to do a load of laundry but not going to touch what was there. It was lucky for us we only slept there and the beds were fine , we had breakfast and were gone for the day to family activities. In my opinion you needs to have a handy man come and fix all the wear and tear this house has seen. Also the TV upstairs wouldn't work , we could turn it on on the side of it but had no ability to change channels or volume......Please make a manual for all items that guests would need to know how to work. We had young adults that are very tech savvy and they were stumped, we tried changing battries etc.

About the host

Hosted by Matthew Bassuener

Host profile image
Before embarking on a football career that took me to various corners of the world well into my thirties, I was raised as a Cheesehead in Central Wisconsin. Through my involvement in sports and my experience as an exchange student in high school, I developed an enduring passion for travel. It was during my time contributing to the growth of American football in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that I had the good fortune of meeting my incredible and beautiful wife, Paulinha, who shares my wanderlust. Over the past decade, whether due to my football career, visa requirements, other business ventures, or simply the allure of certain beaches, we have found ourselves relocating almost 20 times. While the nomadic lifestyle has had its perks, the absence of a true home has been a downside. The pandemic and our desire to be closer to family as we raise our first son motivated us to make a change and acquire a property in Green Bay. We named it the Pigskin Journeyman House, as it now houses many mementos from my football adventures. This endeavor was so fulfilling that we expanded our portfolio by acquiring a second property in South Bend, with the aim of creating a collection of premier football houses in the finest football towns. Each house has been designed to incorporate everything we have ever desired in a home.

Why they chose this property

It's the best address and best house on the street named for the patriarch of America's most storied football program.
