Lovely Home

The house was great - only a few blocks from campus and within walking distance of restaurants and bars. Plenty of room for 8 people to spread out. The neighborhood is very nice and quiet with plenty of parking. We enjoyed our stay in South Bend and hope to return next year!

Nice place

I had a really good stay. Nice barbeque. It took me a couple of days to figure out how to turn on the shower. There is part of the faucet that you pull down. DOH! Very comfortable, very clean. decent beds, and super responsive owner.

Fun and convenient place to stay close to campus

Seven of us stayed for the USC weekend and loved the place, as a group all would like to return. It is convenient to campus in a safe and quiet neighborhood (said "hi" to Digger Phelps when he walked by). In comparison to other places I've rented through HomeAway (Palm Springs, Gatlinburg), the house was not luxurious or fancy (thus 4 stars vs 5), however it was very clean and comfortable. My wife and I slept in the master-bedroom which had a comfortable mattress. Our 6'3" son slept in the sun-room, which he loved. The bathrooms were also very clean and the water pressure was good. We had seven adults, but not enough towels, so I would advise bringing an extra bath towel or two, along with soap/shampoo. Also, you'll need extra linen if you bring an air mattress. The kitchen was relatively small but also very clean and well supplied. While the house as a whole was very clean, the coffee pot had to be cleaned (small point). In these politically sensitive times, be prepared for the Reagan calendar (thumbs up all around) and an NRA coffee mug (not so popular). All were in favor of returning someday. The owners clearly want to make it a safe, comfortable, family friendly place to stay for a great ND experience.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar 2020
Thanks for the great feedback. Sorry about the towels - I must have miscounted, but we always try to provide enough towels for our guests, and a few extra in case. Previous renters have left many items in the house over the years, so I can't promise every mug and calendar will be to people's taste, but I'll take a look and remove anything overly controversial! Lastly, we do clean the house thoroughly for incoming renters, but I must have overlooked the coffee pot. My apologies. That won't happen again. Glad you enjoyed your weekend!

Convenient and pleasant house perfectly situated

The owner was incredibly accommodating, even running over with a hairdryer to loan me when I realized I’d forgotten one! The house is pleasantly decorated, the kitchen is excellent and the location can’t be beat. We loved being so close to campus and enjoyed the quiet of a residential street. Excellent overall and good value!

Excellent Experience

We enjoyed staying at this house. It was clean. Everything functioned. It had a big screen tv to watch football. And most importantly it was within walking distance of the Notre Dame campus and stadium and the beautiful new (to us) Eddy St restaurants and shops. I would highly recommend this house if you are visiting the Notre Dame campus for any reason.

A true vintage, large and clean home in a super quiet neighborhood. Once we got there we never moved the car. Easy walk to the Notre Dame campus, shops and restaurants.
