Awesome House for Football Weekend with Family
Nate and Mandy have a beautiful home and they were top notch hosts. Their house looks newly-renovated and well-decorated. Their backyard is huge and contains a nice patio, a fire pit, a creek, and tons of space to run around. Proximity to ND campus was good. We will definitely try to stay with them again.
Awesome home, property & owners!!!
Where do I begin....This was the best house I have ever rented (I have rented several houses for different events over the past years). The listing and description was very accurate and even better!!! The house and property was clean & maintained very well. The owners went way above and beyond with hospitality!!! I will definitely be renting this house in the future. I will also be recommending this house to everyone I know. Thank you so much for everything Nate & Mandy!!!!
Game Day Weekend
We had a great stay for our first football weekend. Although we had a mixture of ND and MSU fans, we all got along. The hospitality and communication shown by Mandy and Nate was outstanding. They offered and delivered to stock items prior to our arrival. We had all the tools to have a fun tailgate at our disposal. The house was perfect for four couples with plenty of room to socialize and also privacy. The location is very close and easy to the campus. Great house, great location, and great owners.
Perfect Home for ND Graduation Weekend
Our stay was magnificent. The home was described accurately and the open concept was great for our family gathering and celebration. The layout of the home makes you feel like you are all together - great entertaining flow, with just the right amount of privacy, if needed. The property was clean and well maintained. The host & hostess were easily accessible for our questions throughout our entire stay. It was perfectly located, with traffic-free access to Notre Dame. The local businesses were very accommodating! I will be renting this home for our next ND Graduation.
Excellent Notre Dame Weekend Experience!!!
This was an excellent home for our ND family/friend weekend! Everything was as described and then some! There was plenty of room for everyone and we all very comfortable. Our kids cannot wait to come back again to enjoy the awesome backyard!!! There are so many amenities about this home! Everyone had plenty of space. The backyard grill was nice to have. There is also a great fire pit to enjoy. The owners are so accommodating. They offered many tailgating supplies (including grill) and the home is very close to campus. I will definitely continue renting this home for our ND weekends!
Perfect Notre Dame Stay
I can not say enough about the hospitality offered and provided by this renter. The location was very convenient for activities on campus and at the house with our ND sophomore and his friends. The tailgate supplies that were offered; tent, coolers, chairs, etc... were great and fully enjoyed on game day. The house is very comfortable and inviting for any gathering. It was very clean and nicely appointed with fresh new linens in all rooms, water bottles in the fridge, and a wonderful information binder about the house and the South Bend area. I highly recommend this home for your ND stay!!
