Inside, you’ll find:

• Two bedrooms, the second bedroom is small but we promise is super cozy with a comfortable luxury bed.

• Vintage + modern Notre Dame football décor for that classic South Bend charm

We had a lovely time in a beautifully decorated home. I’ve never seen such attention to detail from the decor to leaving snacks and drinks. We would come back in a heartbeat!

This was the perfect ND football weekend house we’ve stayed at. The home is charming, clean, well stocked, well equipped, and the hosts are the best. Heather is very on top of everything as a host. The communication was easy and she responded (always) quickly. We were completely comfortable throughout the weekend! We will absolutely stay here again.

Every last detail perfectly thought out. Personal touches made a big difference. Home had lights on and snacks and drinks for us when we arrived. Coming to a Notre Dame game it was wonderful to see all of the artwork with regards to Notre Dame, including the very famous play like a champion staircase. That was truly fantastic. The backyard is cute and enjoyable. Beds were extremely comfortable.

Great house for a game weekend!! I brought my 13 year old son a long with a friend and his son of the same age. Had a ball! The house was definitely part of the experience. Decorated tastefully, yet extensively, throughout the house on the interior and exterior with ND football theme. The outside space provided a great place to hangout. The screened front porch was nice for morning coffee. Undoubtedly the most supplied house I have ever stayed. From food and drinks, along with towels, toiletries, games and information about about the area,hosts Heather and Jason went above and beyond on this one!! Clean, comfortable and safe. Highly recommend!
