The host was communicative and very helpful. We had 16 people for a family gathering, and the house was perfect for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked.Because the house is older, there were creeks here and there,and everything was well appointed. We loved all of the nooks and crannies and special cabinets of the historic place. We also loved that there were grates here and there through what you could talk to people on different floors.Would definitely come back if we had a large crowd!Further, the grounds were well maintained and perfect for taking family pictures.

We had a group of 17 of us for an extended weekend. Kownover Farmstead was the perfect place in terms of space, country home comfort and ambiance, thoughtfulness to the updates and decor, distance to Lake Michigan beaches and Shipshewana, and overall having a relaxing weekend. We grilled and used the firepit and made great memories and will definitely do this again next year at Kownover Farmstead!

This is a beautiful, large, and unique historic house, in a tucked-away area that feels cozy and private! The check in process was very smooth, and David and Karen (hosts) always responded super quickly whenever I had questions. This is a perfect place for a large family gathering (especially when you want to be in/near South Bend but NOT have the whole house be Notre Dame football themed)! Would recommend to other travelers with large groups, or those wanting to host family/friends.

Delightful historic quirky old home near Notre Dame, with easy access on game day. Plenty of beds for our group, which was a mixture of friends and family. Kitchen with its sitting area and the dining room were great for gathering and visiting. We loved sitting around the fire pit outside after the game. Hope to be back in the future!

Wonderful, Charming place to stay!

My sisters and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. Kitchen is fabulous, we cooked many of our meals. We each had out own bedrooms! Excellent country feel, but close to local stores/shops. We especially enjoyed the closeness of "The Chief" Ice Cream!

Family Getaway in South Bend

The house was very neat to visit! The historic nature of the house was cool for the kids to see and even learn about. The house was well stocked with all amenities. The hosts were super helpful and even bought a sprinkler for the kids to play with because of the hot heat during our stay. The property was also very close to many places - grocery, shopping, activities, Notre Dame, etc!

The farm house suited our needs perfectly for several families and children. The description on VRBO accurately described the property. The property also has a large open grassy yard that was unexpected but enjoyed by the kids. Close to town with anything you may need from groceries,pharmacies, hardware store and Walmart is close by. We used as home base for a wedding at Ferwiod gardens

Great accommodations for our family reunion!

The historic farmhouse was fascinating! This was great for our family reunion with ages ranging from 10-80. We appreciated the number of rooms and the option of the cottage and spa. The large dining table was perfect for us all to eat together and to play games. The outdoor space was great for yard games and hanging out around the campfire in the evening. David is a very prompt responder and gives very clear instructions. This is a great place to stay!

Wedding party

We stayed here to attend our daughters wedding at Saint Joe’s farm. It was a great place to gather after all of the festivities wind down. Nice large area to sit and talk with family. Would definitely stay here again!

Great place for a group

We had a really nice time at this spacious and clean property. Big group with 14-16 people and kids included. The kitchen was well set up and stocked for a big group, the huge dining room table is perfect for gathering everyone together, the property has a lot of room outside to play, plenty of rooms, beds and bathrooms, and the host is very polite/responsive. Everyone loved their stay and we hope to book this place again for future trips.

Wonderful Cozy Stay

This quaint, historic house had everything to offer for a cozy stay, whether visiting the Southbend area or going to the game. We enjoyed: the spacious scenic property, huge dining room table, large kitchen, ecletic decoe & pictures, 3 minute walk to the Indiana-Michigan border, and so much more. There were plenty of cozy bedrooms, bathrooms, hottub & sauna, great patio, big screen TV to watch the games, etc. We loved this beautiful property, had a great time, and would definitely stay again.
