Overall this property is great. Great kitchen facilities with everything you need! Plenty spacious for a family. However, there were a few things that weren’t great. The front walk/porch wasn’t shoveled after the recent snowfall. It made for dangerous conditions getting into the property. Also, the mattress was the hardest mattress I’ve ever slept on. Truly uncomfortable.

Great little place with everything you'd need and extras to enjoy like games, a treadmill work station, laundry, etc. Advertised realistically. Good communication. Close to all the things. Safe neighborhood for walks. Quiet, too.

Cute, clean, convenient
Host was very prompt and quick whenever we had a need. We were a group of 4 there for a 3 night stay to take in a Norte Dame game. The house was a perfect walking distance to campus and other activities.

Notre Dame Cozy Home
We traveled from San Francisco to move our daughter into Notre Dame. I stayed a week to help organize and outfit my daughter’s new apartment near campus. This property was the perfect home base! It is spotless, quiet, comfy and a quick drive or pleasant walk to campus. I hope to book it again for my next visit!

Great Stay
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect as shown in pictures!! It was so close to where we were going on campus and to surroundings to get supplies. Homeowners were in touch before and during stay. Great communication!! Beds were a little hard though and you parked on street. Backyard was great for the kids and we enjoyed being at home there!! It totally made our trip!!
Thanks for an amazing stay!!!
