Terrific house for game day family reunion
Our family stayed 3 nights on a ND football weekend. Mindy's house was one of the few affordable houses that was both large enough for the 12 of us and was within walking distance to the stadium and campus. We were pleasantly surprised at how clean and comfortable the house was. It seemed to be bigger than the pictures made it out to be. Check in/ out were no issues. The kitchen was well-equiped. Mindy is terrific host and we would stay again.

Beautiful Home
This home was exactly as pictured. Close to campus, check in and out was a breeze and the host was very easy to communicate with. Plenty of room for 3 moms and our 4 kids. Sun rooms were great to get a little work done, kids to play a game, morning coffee and evening drinks. Plenty of bathrooms and the kids loved the game room. Highly recommended and would stay again.
