Another great stay
I travel to Elkhart for work , sometimes for several weeks and I will continue to rent from Vicki. I have stayed at two different locations and both were clean and stocked with everything I needed for my stay. The décor was top notch and it truly felt like my home away from home.
Six of us stayed at this property for a weekend Notre Dame game and they played USC. Our family members are from California so it was an exciting weekend. Although we were not at the home much over the weekend our stay was very pleasant and our host Vicki was very responsive on every need and detail. We enjoyed the area, and will definitely be back!
