Old School Charm is located in a very quiet spot with a large yard. It is close to Three Oaks and South Bend (about 20 mins from each). We had a good time in Three Oaks. Breakfast at Viola was amazing! We toured the Journeyman Distillery and then had dinner at Staymakers sitting outside on the deck. We also made a short day trip to Warren Dunes State Park which was beautiful! The location of this property was convenient and also very private. The house has spacious bedrooms and living room. We stayed with two other adults and having a bathroom for each bedroom was very nice. The decor has all been updated and most things seemed brand new. It appears to be newly renovated. Everything was very clean. There were plenty of supplies (ie coffee and espresso maker, dishwasher, soap/shampoo, etc) to make our stay comfortable and convenient. Communication with the homeowner was easy. We were given the access code for easy entry and locking of the doors. We'd definitely stay here again!
