Great place to stay with plenty of space for large groups - conveniently located!

We had an amazing stay and look forward to staying here again in the future. Rocky is a very considerate host. He was responsive and extremely respectful and courteous. Place has all amenities listed and more. Our group was in for a wedding and it was so conveniently located to all locations. The neighborhood was quiet and the house was exactly what we needed to sit back and relax. Thank you Rocky!

Summer golf with friends. Very responsive owner who responded to questions/requests usually within minutes. Quiet neighborhood just a couple of blocks walk to Eddy Street or the Notre Dame Campus main gate. Sheets, towels and showers were just fine as was the A/C. A great stay.

This was a fine property. The owner did not allow any "extra" people to be in the house so we did all of our gathering at the house across the street. This house fit our needs perfectly and I would recommend.

Two Night Stay for Notre Dame Graduation

The house was just as the description indicated. The house was exceptionally clean and well equipped. Location in proximity to ND was great. Our daughter was on campus and the drive to almost any where on campus was under 10 minutes. And as the description indicated the house is literally two blocks away from the main entrance to campus and 1 minute to Eddy Commons . I would stay here in a minute if the opportunity posed itself to come back to ND.

About the host

Hosted by Rocky

Host profile image
I was born and raised in South Bend!

Why they chose this property

Born and raised 2 blocks closer to Notre Dame than here, we wanted to stick around the neighborhood and be close to family and everyday life!

What makes this property unique

Not many people can say that they get to hear the Notre Dame marching Band practice outdoors during the nice weather months! I know when Notre Dame scores a touchdown before I even see it on my T.V from the cheers at the stadium! A quick 5 minute walk and we're on campus with many beautiful trails and lakes to run, walk or bike. We never get bored! We have a great park area for our kids, as well as shops, bars and restaurants just as close as campus is from us. What else could we want? These are all huge perks for us and some of the reasons we love it here! We get most of these benefits all year round, so we're happy to pass them off to our guests for a fun filled weekend or week that they are here!
