Great house for a mom/daughter ND weekend
It was perfect to have 6 moms stay and for our mother daughter weekend. It was a great location close to campus so our girls could come hang out during the day and for dinner. The hot tub was huge and a huge hit. The outdoor grill worked great for preparing dinner. Plenty of space to socialize. Outdoor fire pit and large yard were both also terrific.

Winter Family Getaway
Do not overlook this VRBO for your next stay in South Bend. The most comfortable, warm, accommodating, communicative, organized, and well stocked home we have ever stayed. As a mum of 3 adult boys, we all had plenty of things to do even while being snowed in. It was convenient as well to only be a hour and a half away from Chicago O’Hare Airport as our Airman was to fly back to the UK the day we checked out. Thankful and grateful for the time and memories made at The Rockne House!

About the host

Hosted by Matthew Bassuener

Host profile image
Before embarking on a football career that took me to various corners of the world well into my thirties, I was raised as a Cheesehead in Central Wisconsin. Through my involvement in sports and my experience as an exchange student in high school, I developed an enduring passion for travel. It was during my time contributing to the growth of American football in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that I had the good fortune of meeting my incredible and beautiful wife, Paulinha, who shares my wanderlust. Over the past decade, whether due to my football career, visa requirements, other business ventures, or simply the allure of certain beaches, we have found ourselves relocating almost 20 times. While the nomadic lifestyle has had its perks, the absence of a true home has been a downside. The pandemic and our desire to be closer to family as we raise our first son motivated us to make a change and acquire a property in Green Bay. We named it the Pigskin Journeyman House, as it now houses many mementos from my football adventures. This endeavor was so fulfilling that we expanded our portfolio by acquiring a second property in South Bend, with the aim of creating a collection of premier football houses in the finest football towns. Each house has been designed to incorporate everything we have ever desired in a home.

Why they chose this property

It's the best address and best house on the street named for the patriarch of America's most storied football program.
