Home away from Home

We are glad you have chosen to stay in our home! We love hosting and we are sure you will enjoy your stay in our comfortable, cozy ranch house. You will find Starbucks and restaurants just a few blocks away on 933, and grocery stores a short 10 minutes from our house.

Our home is simply and modernly decorated with an extra clean and inviting feel with lots of comfortable seating to easily accommodate 8 guests. The open floor plan allows for spending quality time together in the family room, kitchen and dining area with added seating at the kitchen island. There is enough seats to accommodate 8 eating spaces at the table, island and extra foldout table along the kitchen wall. Comfortable mattresses and plenty of fresh linens, coffee in the cabinet with full use of the refrigerator is a bonus for your stay. There are linens and blankets/pillows for the guests (2) who will be sleeping on the air mattresses. You'll find a hair dryer and ironing board for your use along with lap blankets to take along with you on those chilly game days! The grill is on the patio with chairs to seat 8 as you enjoy the spacious back yard. Plenty of yard space to enjoy the corn hole game that will be in the shed for your use as well as a fire pit with wood available. Come and make yourself at home!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a furnished patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

Second stay here. Will come back

I stayed here a month ago for a football game, and am glad I came back. The place is clean and in a quiet neighborhood just north of campus (in fact, several folks in our group walked back from the stadium after the game). The Direct TV is a bit odd to work, and is missing some sports channels, but we just streamed ESPN on a phone and projected it to the tv. Great times!

Felt Welcomed Home

So clean! Well organized and welcoming! We were impressed by all the comfort and details. Kitchen was well stocked. We grilled and played corn hole in the lovely back yard. Plenty of supplies for everything we needed for our stay. Everyone slept well and the bedrooms and spaces Weser up well for guests. Close to Notre Dame for quick back and forth s to campus. Definitely would select this home again. Highly recommend!

Great Place Convenient to Notre Dame

Stayed here for graduation weekend. Property was easy to get to and is a short trip to Notre Dame. Beds were comfortable, place was clean. After checkout the owner was even willing to let me go back into the property to check and see if we left something in one of the bedrooms. Will definitely try to book when we're up for football games in the fall.
