This location is unbeatable for all things Notre Dame. You are right next to campus and ready for game day. Also great location for golfers as the course is across the street and many others locally.

What makes this property unique
Welcome to Rockne’s Retreat
Notre Dame Stadium, famously known as “The House that Rockne Built,” owes much of its legacy to Knute Rockne, one of college football’s greatest coaches, who was instrumental in its creation in 1930. Rockne’s Retreat, however, is “The House that Knute Rockne’s Secretary Built”—quite literally! Built in 1929 by Herbert E. Jones, Knute Rockne’s trusted secretary, this historic home carries a deep connection to Notre Dame and Irish football.
Over the years, Rockne’s Retreat has hosted many notable guests. According to legend, the entire 1943 National Championship football team and coaching staff gathered here to celebrate their victory, joined by Coach Frank Leahy. The house has also welcomed luminaries like Billy Martin of the New York Yankees, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and even Father Hesburgh, each of whom is said to have enjoyed time in this very living room.
Rockne’s Retreat is truly one-of-a-kind, offering not only rich history but an unbeatable location for all Notre Dame fans and history buffs alike.
