Quaint

Very clean place decorated with antiques. We came for a Notre Dame game. The only thing I could say is that we wished that there was some type of cable or satellite tv to watch sports while we were not at the game It did say there was Netflix but we had no password. Also there was only seating for two to watch tv and no tv in any of the bedrooms .I would say if you have no interest in tv then the place is a great place to stay.

The property was adequate. The stairway has some safety issues as there were no handrails at the top section and the handrails in the main stairway were loose. Being in our 70's it was tenuous to navigate. Tha kitchen ware was old and not adequate for all the cooking we did...spatulas and tongs for bacon and eggs would be nice. We improvised!!. It would have been nice to use the porch, but it was filthy and we did thing it was our place to clean the chairs and sweep and wash down. Nice lication and we left it much cleaner than when we arrived. It could be really nice with a little cleaning and better utensils for cooking and other kitchen necessities. My guess is they are expecting kids and people going to the game that don't care about cooking or using it as a home versus a place to just stay. .

Just wonderful!

My two daughters and I stayed here for 8 nights while attending a sports event at Notre Dame. The house is in a great location-a quick drive of about a mile down the street to get to the stadium and shops on Eddy Street. The property manager was quick to communicate with any concerns and went above and beyond to get the house ready right at check in time for us. We consider this our home away from home in South Bend and hope to be back soon!

Notre Dame/Pitt game weekend.

Cindy’s place was great— very clean and roomy for four of us(my two sons and best friend). It was very close to campus and to various bars and restaurants. Cindy even had candy in the rooms as a Halloween treat, which was pretty cool. Would love to do business with Cindy again in the future.👍

Great Stay Great Host!

After a horrific stay using vrbo competitor, this trip was a breath of fresh air! Host was very responsive, communicated instructions on time and clearly and answered questions quickly that arose during our stay. House is charming, creaky old wood floors, cutely furnished, very homey in a good way. Between family room, front room and enclosed porch, there was plenty of room. Bedrooms are comfortable, bedrooms upstairs. Very close to campus. We drove but it would not be a bad walk. Corner is a bit noisy as others mentioned but didn't bother us. We would love to stay again sometime!

Great location but very noisy area

Our family was there for our first Notre Dame football game. Cindy was very accommodating and responsive. The house was in a great location but being right on busy corner was extremely noisy with cars, etc. The streaming TV was a bit challenging to work too but Cindy immediately responded and saved the day for the boys who wanted to watch some Game Day football. The house is dated… it could benefit with some small upgrades, specifically the bathrooms. All in all it was a 10 of a weekend!!

This place had everything we needed. Beds were comfy, it was quiet, & we enjoyed the outdoor area with the covered table, grill & firepit. Wood was even provided which was very convenient. We were able to walk or scooter to much of what we wanted to see from here. We very much enjoyed our time here!

Nice stay!

The rental process and finding the house was a breeze! We stayed here for the Benton Harbor 70.3 Ironman weekend that I competed in and it was an easy 50 minute drive to Benton Harbor/St. Joseph where you have lots of beach access to Lake Michigan! The house was clean, provided everything we needed and Cindy was super great at communication through the VRBO app. We didn’t explore South Bend at all so I can’t speak to how close the house is to fun things around there, but it was a nice stay nonetheless and the bathrooms are very spacious which was an added bonus! We LOVED all the cute little sayings around the house in the artwork too!

Cindy was easy to work with, and responded quickly when we had a question. The home was well stocked with the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom basics. Grocery store and restaurants close by, and a mall 15 minutes drive. Previous comments mention, and we confirm, this is on a noisy, busy street.

Great location, super owner

We stayed while visiting our college kids over Spring Break 2021. The property is about a mile from Notre Dame. I walked to campus one morning and it was perhaps 20 minutes. Martin’s, the local grocery store was perhaps 1.5 miles away. Cindy was a joy to work with, both before and during the trip. Property has a nostalgic feel, very comfortable. All beds are upstairs which may be an issue for some, with one bath upstairs and the other downstairs. We had our kids and some of their friends over for dinner, and the counter space and cookware in the kitchen is somewhat limited. But for a small group, most adequate. I wouldn’t hesitate staying again at this property. Thanks Cindy for an awesome week.
