We came in for Notre Dame graduation. I felt like we were staying at a friend’s house, it was that welcoming. There were little considerations everywhere- from check in, fresh flowers, amenities, and even messages from the host to make the stay just a little more comfortable. The beds were just right. It was in a nice neighborhood, and centrally located to make our driving around easy. I will definitely stay again when I am in town!

Lovely Notre Dame/South Bend Rental

This was a perfect place to stay for a South Bend weekend with family and our 2 year old. Having a crib and high chair and toys available, and such a clean home and nice kitchen, was just perfect.

This home was exceptional and a perfect place to stay for a weekend in South Bend! The home has plenty of room for a large group (we had 9 adults) and is in a beautiful neighborhood. It is very close to the Notre Dame campus and we had no problem getting transportation to anywhere we wanted to go (We were in town for a Notre Dame football game). Mary was very helpful prior to and throughout our stay. I highly recommend this gorgeous home.

Wonderful Stay!

We stayed at this lovely property for our son's graduation. The houe and neighborhood are wonderful, and we felt right at home the minute we stepped in the house. The beds and linens were top-notch, and the house had all we needed. The back patio was a great addition and we spent lots of time there as a family. The location is wonderful since the house is a short drive from campus. Mary was easy to communicate with as well. I would definitely recommend this property!

Recently stayed at Mary’s home with friends for a Notre Dame football game weekend. The checkin in was seamless with great communication from the host. The home was well appointed, clean, and spacious. It was located a few minutes from the stadium and was in a wonderful neighborhood. Would definitely stay there again for a future game and would recommend if your looking for a place to stay with friends or family.

Family of 10

Mary is an exceptional host. Her attention to the little details didn’t go unnoticed. We felt like we were at home and had plenty of space for a family of 10 - including adult children and teenagers. The kitchen is perfectly equipped which allowed for us to enjoy preparing and sharing meals together in the open concept kitchen/living room. The neighborhood was lovely and quiet. We would stay again!

Highly recommend this property for an awesome ND experience. It's in a great neighborhood and is two miles to campus. So easy to get back and forth. The house is spacious and has a nice kitchen, seating area, and den combination that allows the group to gather together and have a place to sit. Mary is terrific and communicative.

Great Place For a Football Weekend

We stayed with five adults and five children for a September Notre Dame football weekend. The property is as described. We had a nice grill out on Friday night, and easy access to and from Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. The television had local channels via high definition antenna and plenty of streaming services with easy-to-follow written instructions. I streamed football games on Friday night with no difficulty. The end of the property description mentions a cat. I had missed this, and received a phone call from Mary before the arrival to let me know of the cat's presence in the locked basement. We never heard the cat and would not have known of its presence if not told. We simply gave the owner times we would not be around so that a neighbor could tend to the cat twice daily. I have cat allergies, but was not bothered anywhere in the house. Mary was fantastic to work with. We will rent again on future trips.

About the host

Hosted by Mary L Olen

Host profile image
Hello. I recently retired from the University of Notre Dame, Campus Ministry. I love to entertain which is one of the reasons I know this home is a fabulous place for a group to spend time together. The layout makes it an ideal place to enjoy each other's company, share meals and just hang out. I go the extra mile to make sure this home is clean, comfortable and offers everything you need for a wonderful stay!

Why they chose this property

Located in a quiet, close-knit neighborhood, my home has a warm, friendly atmosphere with plenty of parking, amenities, open space, and everything you need for the perfect weekend. Only a few minutes by car to ND football parking without any hassle of heavy traffic. I hope you will take the opportunity to enjoy a weekend here with your friends and/or family. I promise you are going to love my place!

What makes this property unique

The gas grill is just outside the kitchen door on the patio. It uses the house gas so there is no need to bother with propane. Cook at home and avoid crowded restaurants on game weekends.
