The Polo and Pear met all of our needs for Culver Parents Weekend. It was the perfect location, making it very easy to go back and forth to campus, and to walk into town for dinner. The house has everything you could need- it's very organized, clean and comfortable. Dave is a wonderful host, who responded quickly when I had any questions. I would definitely recommend this house and will hopefully get to stay there again!

Great weekend stay! Immaculate, beautiful home and Dave has thought of everything to make the stay comfortable and relaxing. Loved walking around the corner to Cafe Max for breakfast and a stroll around town. Easy walk to the lake too. Polo and Pear for the win!

Lovely Home and Garden in the Heart of Culver

The owner was proactive in making sure that we knew what to expect with the bedrooms upstairs and the check-in procedures. Check-in and Check-out was easy. The house is historic but very up to date for modern needs and nicely decorated. Very comfortable and easy to feel like home. Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. We will try to stay here again on future Culver visits.
