We had a wonderful stay! The home was clean, quaint, and cozy, making it the perfect getaway for our family and dogs. The location was fantastic, just a short distance from the charming downtown area with its beautiful riverwalk and great little shops to explore. We really enjoyed the area and everything it had to offer. This was the perfect home away from home, and we would definitely stay again!

Great house and location

House is as advertised and nice amenities. The location is amazing being a 5 minute walk from downtown. I was a little concerned about how loud it would be on the road it was on but the sound machines in the rooms made it a non-issue. Would for sure stay again if in the area

Wonderful family reunion

Comfortable bedrooms, well supplied, if slightly tight kitchen. Pleasant backyard, good for sitting around the firepit by night and toddler play by day. Great location for walking into town and along the River Trail.

Riverview Retreat

The house was very clean, had everything we needed, and is right across the river from downtown. We enjoyed being close enough to walk to the riverside park and had a great evening sitting around the fire in the backyard.

High School Graduation & Family

We stayed at this lovely property for a week. It was conveniently located to the South Bend airport, family, the high school graduation we attended, and many parks with hiking and birding.The house was well appointed and comfortable and we really appreciated all the cooking utensils that were provided as the majority of our meals we ate at the house.

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 13, 2023
Between VRBO and Airbnb, we have had 125 positive reviews. This is the first truly poor one. The guest had a complaint about the showers. And while I wanted to respond to her concern, she did not mention it until a day after she checked out. I want all of our guests to be happy, so as soon as I heard this complaint, scheduled to have a professional plumber go look at the shower. However, the next guests that arrived said the showers were fine. We will continue to try to address these concerns and make the showers as nice as possible for guests. We truly appreciate feedback from guests, and want to make our house a great place to stay. But it felt a bit like this guest was trying to squeeze a refund out of us in an inappropriate and rude way. We also accommodated a request to have the house ready for an early check-in for her, despite guests staying the night before. This guest did not say anything, or seem appreciative at all. Overall I think this is an unfair review.

Great house and super responsive hosts

Just can’t say enough good things about our stay. There were 3 adults and 2 children and so much room to spare. We used the kitchen and laundry facilities and everything was perfect. Beds were comfortable and even though the bathrooms are small, strong water pressure and bathroom amenities more than make up for it. Overall I would highly recommend this house and am thrilled to be coming back in October with another group of friends to stay at this great place! Hosts answered all my question super fast - which we really appreciated.
