Comfortable home for a large group

We had several family members stay here for two days while in town for a funeral. Although it was a sad occasion, we felt safe and comfortable in this home. Plenty of room to spread out. We would have loved to grill out on the patio, but the weather in March didn't cooperate.

ND Weekend

A very nice house that easily has room for 10. Everything was clean and comfortable. It was a little too far to walk to the ND campus, but we were able to park on the street a half mile up the road for free and walk the balance of the way.

About the host

Hosted by Heather

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Heather. I grew up in South Bend as the oldest of five children in a family that has always had a deep connection to Notre Dame—many of my family are alumni, and the university has been a big part of our lives. My parents always kept guest rooms ready, welcoming friends and family from near and far, especially for football weekends—and they still do!

Hospitality is in my blood. I married a British man, and together we split our time between South Bend and Devon, England, where we own and run a historic wedding venue. We love hosting and caring for guests, and we strive to bring a touch of English country house hospitality to our home in South Bend.

Family remains at the heart of everything we do—we all live just a few blocks from each other and our parents. Whether you’re here for a game, a visit, or just passing through, I hope you feel at home and experience the warmth of our community.

We look forward to hosting you!
