Wonderful family reunion
Comfortable bedrooms, well supplied, if slightly tight kitchen. Pleasant backyard, good for sitting around the firepit by night and toddler play by day. Great location for walking into town and along the River Trail.

ND weekend
The place was perfect! Clean and a great kitchen area…kureg with cups waiting. Very nice area to watch TV. Really clean and the host/owner was great with information prior to our arrival. Very close to downtown which has a brewery and distillery. Grocery store a few minutes away. Easy 20 minute drive to ND campus. Highly recommend! Scott

Relaxing and Inviting
My family and I needed a place to stay overnight after attending a wedding at Notre Dame. We were able to check in after the ceremony and relax, take our shoes off, and have some snacks before returning for the reception. This property is in a quiet neighborhood and was the perfect place for us. It was a short 25 minutes drive to the Palais Royal in South Bend. After the reception we came back and stayed over until checkout in the next morning. The house is fully stocked with all the comforts of home. We wish we had more time to spend. We would have enjoyed the patio, fire pit and wrap around porch. We definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.

Great house and super responsive hosts
Just can’t say enough good things about our stay. There were 3 adults and 2 children and so much room to spare. We used the kitchen and laundry facilities and everything was perfect. Beds were comfortable and even though the bathrooms are small, strong water pressure and bathroom amenities more than make up for it. Overall I would highly recommend this house and am thrilled to be coming back in October with another group of friends to stay at this great place! Hosts answered all my question super fast - which we really appreciated.

Summer Vacation
Our goal was rest & time with our adult children, family members from northern MI & final day with our best friends. Accomplished! Our host was responsive when we had needs/questions. The stay required us to trim a bush (so porch swing could be used), put 3 trash cans at curb for trash day (must have been very old trash/maggots - so nasty) & the cleaning service did not handle anything on porches - just really dirty. Inside of home met all our needs & fairly clean. Had to request DW tabs & paper towels. Beds comfortable but living room couch very low & not comfortable. (I have had both hips & knees replaced to painful getting up from couch)

Home for the Holidays
My daughter and I, along with our two dogs, stayed in this house over Christmas. It just so happened, it was also during a blizzard. We were able to book and extra day last minute due to weather. Every time I contacted the owner, I always heard back within minutes. The driveway was plowed several times during our stay. We had a great time! House was perfect!

The home was spacious and absolutely beautiful. It had everything we needed for a perfect, relaxing family vacation. The front porch swing was by far my favorite spot…my daughter and I spent every morning out there with our coffee and cocoa. We would all definitely recommend this gorgeous house. Thank you for letting us enjoy it for the week!

Perfect central location
This house felt like home. Beds were comfy. Plenty of room to spread out. Well stocked kitchen. Great attention to details that made our stay a little sweeter . . . like Keurig pods :). We took a tour of Notre Dame (15 min. drive), saw the lighthouse and beautiful sunset in St. Joseph (30 min. drive), and climbed the dunes at Warren Dunes State Park (30 min. drive). We were very pleased with our stay and hope to return one day!
