Family Football

What an amazing property on St. Joseph river. Our family stayed here for an Irish football game it being minutes away from the Notre Dame campus. Six adults slept comfortably each having our own bed. Woke up to deer each morning grazing next to the river. River is crystal clear great place to fish. We’re able to play pool, ping pong, arcades, in the game room. Very secluded as well from the neighbors so feels like you’re out there by yourself but just minutes from South Bend. Unbelievable owner of the property as well showed us some great spots to eat and shops for steaks we cooked on the grill. Highly recommend for any occasion.

Best Family vacation ever! Unbelieveable amenities and lots of entertainment options!

Unbelieveable! Fantastic! Great Value! Family Entertainment Destination! Gourmet Bed & Breakfast and VRBO rolled into one. We have never stayed anywhere that has more options available for things for the family to do. We went kayaking down the river, surfing at the beach, hiking on the dunes, fishing on Lake Michigan, bike riding on a beautiful bike trail, frisbee golfing at the local county park nearby, golfing at a course that was in the pGA tour, standup boards on Lake Michigan, special waverunner outing and a boat powered by a pwc BBQ every night, crablegs and mussels with fresh baguettes, fresh blueberry pistachio waffles with cherries, whipped cream and chocolate. We saw from the home over 35 deer, 15 wild turkey, a fox, turtles, Ground hogs, racoons and so many birds we couldnt count them! Anything we wanted we had from our host including every spice you can imagine to cook with! . The Jacuzzi every night was crystal clear, perfect temp and super clean! Owner is ocd about clean, clean and provided everyone with house slippers. Bedding is better than a Four Seasons and a pillow menu for every bed. Eighteen HD SMART TVS so everyone could watch what they wanted and the Game room has almost anything you could want to play. Pro ping pong table, Harley Davidson pool table, new PacMan & Streetfighter full size video games, Fooseball, Arcade basketball and Electronic darts. Halfcourt Goalrilla Goal Basketball and even rental cars! We will be back!!!!

Why they chose this property

River's Landing is on the beautiful St Joseph River. A total of 10+ wooded acres surrounds the estate.

As you enter on the long driveway you may see 4 or 5 deer grazing in the front yard. Be careful of turtles as they come from the river to lay eggs and return to the water's edge. You may see the black or brown squirrels gathering nuts for winter. Depending on the season you will see beautiful floral colors in the beds and art in the landscaping.

River's Landing is nestled in Sherwood Forest and has beautiful wooded edges with lots of wildlife. Waterfront views abound from almost every room. From the deck to the water has been cleared so you can enjoy lots of sunshine and unobstructed views of the water.

What makes this property unique

All you have to do is filter on 14 people, waterfront, hot tub and private pool and you will see how exclusive River's Landing at Notre Dame is from anything like it in the area.

HIgh ceilings abound. River's Landing is designed with family reunions in mind. A quiet and private place to recoup and be together.

Technology stands alone at River's Landing as the estate boasts sixteen (16) smart TVs with eight 86" TVs!!! Complete with Roku, Netflix and Prime Video Libraries for your enjoyment!

Enjoy the sunroom that seats twelve (12) with 16' ceilings and floor to ceiling views of nature and the waterfront. The Great Room has 14' ceilings! The Master and Loft bedrooms have 12' ceilings! The Play room has 10' ceilings.

Better than a pool...... Jacuzzi's largest 10 person hot tun spa can be heated to 104 degrees with a light show at night. Encased in a mosquito netted gazebo with privacy curtains looking on the waterfront.

You will find no better VRBO equipped for fun and activities. Everything from jumbo size games to electric bikes to the Play room with two smart TVs, a custom Harley Davidson Valley Panther pool table, a professional indoor/outdoor aluminum ping pong table with 500 practice balls, PacMan and Street Fighter Arcade games with over 1,000 games!!! and arcade electronic darts and basketball.

Ouside we have many games including a half court Goalrilla Basketball Goal with autoreturn and multiple balls, Chicago Bears corn hole, Bocce, croquet and more!!!
