About this property

Step back in time and find out why our guests love staying here and come back year after year making the Farmhouse Stay an integral part of their holidays and family times. The Farmhouse Stay is a special place, and a full time business. We are confident you will treasure your time here!

“The Farmhouse” is a 1900’s home with an old- fashioned front porch and swing. Pull in take a deep breath—and enjoy the charm of this beautiful farmhouse—Your Country Home away from home! Whether you need overnight accommodations, a weekend stay or an extended stay, we can provide you with the accommodations that will make you feel at “Home” away from home. The Farmhouse is cozy enough for one or two and large enough for groups of six to eight as long as guest don't mind sharing a bathroom. Some of you may remember doing so if you lived in a farmhouse back in the day! We have friendly horses on the property, friendly barn cats and are pet friendly.

Need a place for family and friends to gather for a holiday feast or get-together? Coming to see the Irish play at Notre Dame? Visiting local tourists attractions in Buchanan, Niles, New Buffalo, Michigan? The Farmhouse Stay is located in South Bend Indiana just a half a mile from the state line of Michigan. It is the perfect place to call home while you're checking out all of the wonderful local attractions! We are close to many of the wineries in St Joseph Michigan and also the Four Winns Casino and many beautiful Michigan beaches including Weko Beach. Downtown Niles Michigan is a great place for antiquing as is Buchanan Michigan--both have quaint shops and will provide a fun-filled afternoon. Another local attraction that is a lot of fun for families is Fernwood Botanical Garden. The Potawatomi Zoo in South Bend along with a visit to the Notre Dame campus are also popular attractions. When you're all done having fun in the local relax on the deck or front porch.

The Farmhouse is the perfect place to relax or be active... and a great place to call home when visiting the area to cheer on the Fighting Irish! We are located right next door to the Carriage House Fine Dining restaurant on a beautiful country acreage giving you a little slice of country in close proximity to everything!

Very very comfortable!

The hostess, Wendy, was extremely accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed, and she was easy to communicate with. A blizzard and extreme cold came during our stay for Christmas, and she made sure the walks and driveway were plowed each morning so we could get out to be with our family. She even had a whole house generator installed right before our arrival in case there was a power outage! Wendy went above and beyond to make sure we were safe and happy. Even our two little poodles loved it there. We would not hesitate to book her property again and that’s because she is a great hostess! Thank you for making sure we had one of the best family Christmas vacations ever Wendy! Happy New Year!

Lovely Farmhouse Atmosphere

We took a step back in time when we walked into The Farmhouse. Our dogs loved being part of a little farm with the miniature horses and cats. We told our family in Michigan and Indiana that they need to stay at the Farmhouse. It's relaxing and the deck is amazing. It's secluded, yet close enough to South Bend to enjoy the town.

Peaceful escape from the city

Wendy's Farmhouse was the perfect place for me and my husband to escape the city for a week. After a challenging year, it was wonderful to completely unplug, enjoy the trees and green grass with our dogs, and meet some very sweet ponies and horses. It was exactly as advertised and felt like a warm hug from family members I did not know I had. We look forward to visiting again.

Very pleasant farm just as advertised

This was a neat and tidy farmhouse just as advertised. Everything worked well and the house was neat and clean. The horses and ponies were present as were three cats. It is very convenient to South Bend as well as southern Michigan. In our opinion, it is best for small groups (4 or less) because there is one bathroom. We would definitely stay again.

We were visiting our relatives on Eagle lake so spent much time with them but Wendy was great about

Everything was great! The heat outside was uncomfortable but the air conditioning in the house was a wonderful rest after the lake time. We cooked for the lake crew Friday night and found everything we needed. The Farmhouses is well supplied; our biggest problem was keeping our stuff separate from the decorations and stuff of the house!! Just kidding; we loved the farm details and the horses were a hit! Hope to return!
