Perfect Spot

Carol’s property was perfect for our family of teens and pups! The back yard was fenced in and the perfect place for our three pups to run and play. The location was ideal for us with plenty of options for eating and shopping nearby.

One of our favorite VRBO stays! The house was spacious, well-appointed, and clean. The yard was also very large - I look forward to returning and taking advantage of the firepit, etc. Buried under a foot of snow during this visit! The owners were very helpful and responsive as well. We got stuck in the area due to weather and highway shut-down.. and they very quickly responded and extended our stay. This was greatly appreciated, as we were traveling with a dog.We look forward to our next visit!

Fantastic!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. There was plenty of room for 6 adults. We were very happy with the bedroom arrangements and the 2 1/2 baths. Everything we needed was provided, even use of the attached garage. The location was perfect for us too -close to restaurants, shops and the university. We would definitely stay again!

Cozy south bend house

We had an excellent experience at the huddle house. The host Carol was very attentive. The house was incredibly clean and well stocked. It was a safe space for one of our handicapped family members as well as children. Overall, a great fit for our group! We will definitely stay there again in the future.

Weekend Visit

Had a short weekend visit with our son who attends Notre Dame in early March. The Huddle House was clean, spacious and well equipped. There was plenty of room and the yard was amazing for our dog - fully fenced and tons of room. Location is great - close to the school, shops, grocery, etc. Carole was great to work with and was very responsive with our last minute booking. Would definitely stay again!

Great weekend with family and pup

Came to watch women’s NCAA basketball and celebrate a birthday. House was great and very comfortable. Just as listed. Everything was clean, and labeled instructions around the house is so helpful. Carol is a fantastic host!! We all had a great time and the pup had fun chasing birds and squirrels in the backyard. Highly recommend!

The BEST house we've rented!

We just came home from our second stay in the Huddle House and we can't recommend it enough! We love how spacious it is and no matter how many people are staying with us, it never feels cramped. The beds are all very comfortable and there are plenty of pillows and blankets. The kitchen is very roomy and well-equipped, and there is plenty of space for people to eat. We love the huge TVs in the living room and den. Perfect for watching the game or movies. We also can't say enough great things about the outdoor space. The back yard is beautiful and large. Our family loved gathering around the fire pit at night and our dog loved the freedom. There is plenty of comfortable furniture as well as a small grill for outdoor gatherings. The solar string lights create a wonderful atmosphere, too! I'd like to add that Carol is an amazing host and is always happy to help- she is so friendly and consistently replies to any of our questions within a few minutes. We're already looking forward to our next stay in the Huddle House!
