Great House for Multifamily Reunion!!

Everything was great for our stay, from communication with the owners to check out! The space is perfect for hosting many people with lots of rooms, TVs, baths, and a huge backyard with a large firepit for entertaining. So close to ND, it's a perfect location for football weekends too! Would rent again.

Perfect VRBO stay for our multigenerational family for our first Notre Dame game. The house was sparkling clean. There was plenty of room! The 31/2 bathrooms, two rooms with king size beds were a plus and a washer and dryer! Carol was wonderful to work with. Great location! Thank you.

Communication was timely and clear

Carol was quick to outline next steps and highlight any important items. The house was excellent for our family for ND graduation. Elderly parents could easily move around the first floor where their bedroom was conveniently located. It was just perfect for our needs👌
