absolutely LOVED our stay! perfect distance from our hockey tournament, more than ample room and activities for our bigger family and the host was very responsive! our toddler is already asking to back, and we’re not even home yet LOL will definitely stay here again!!!
We loved our stay at this property! It was the perfect size for our family of 4. The host was very responsive with any questions we had. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and utensils to make meals there. Our kids are 5 & 8 and they were both too big for the playground area in the basement but there were plenty of attractions close by to keep us busy even when the weather wasn’t great. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the South Bend area.
Host was very accommodating and welcoming. Everything was just perfect for our stay. I would say they needed some cooking spray we didn’t see it or they were out. Other than that great time enjoying ND football weekend.
Great location for ND football game! House was clean and owner left us home baked cookies!! Street little noisy at night we are not used to that where we live so others may not mind.
Clean and comfortable home. Nice outdoor firepit gas bbq worked great for the steaks. Beds were comfortable. Nice comfortable living room. Walking distance to Norte Dame stadium. It was perfect.
We had a great stay this weekend on our little family trip. Great location! Loved the toys for our two three years olds and the 6 year old loved them too. The backyard was great for some outdoor play, and Todd was great at communicating for anything we needed. Thanks!
