Great location, nice property

We went for a dog show in South Bend, but wanted to spend time near Lake Michigan as well. This was the perfect location to do both—less than 30 minutes either direction. Really nice to have rooms all on the first floor, with 2 bathrooms. It was perfect for us.

Family reunion

We stayed at the house because my family is from the area and we were meeting with local family members. The house was convenient to everything and had all we needed for a comfortable stay. Jennifer was a fantastic host and we enjoyed our time very much.

We love it here!

We have stayed at this property many times while visiting Hudson Lake as our lake house is under construction. It is cozy, spacious, warm, and inviting! My youngest son described it perfectly, it’s like getting a hug from grandma. I would recommend this rental to any family!!! Beds are super comfy too:)

Absolute Perfection

This was the perfect place to stay for our trip to South Bend to watch the Notre Dame football game. There was more than enough room for the 6 of us to sleep, spread out, relax…whatever! The fire pit was wonderful on a nice fall evening. Our host was so helpful in so many ways. We definitely plan to stay here when we come to the area again!

Country charm and homespun comfort

A wonderfully enjoyable weekend stay, quaint, comfortable, and peaceful. We stayed up talking late into the night on the screened in porch and played trivia around the oak dining table. Not to mention a beautiful day on nearby Lake Michigan. All in all a memorable weekend.

Lovely home

We stayed for Notre Dame graduation weekend. Seven adults were comfortable in the home. There is a grocery store close by and ND campus is 15 miles (about 30 minutes w/ traffic). The backyard was well kept with a fire pit and yard games. The property met out needs perfectly.

The Kane’s Property was everything described and much more!!!

We stayed at the Kanes residence and it was a wonderful experience. Jenifer was very accommodating and willing to help at any moment. The house was very clean and exactly as described. There is plenty to do in the area and the house and yard are very quiet if you need down time. I give our stay here 2 thumbs up and would come back and stay again. Great experience 10/10

Everything was great with fresh flowers out for our arrival. Jenifer was responsive and very quick to help when we needed her to do so. She left fresh fruit for us for breakfasts. The house was spacious and welcoming. The kitchen was nicely equipped. Everyone loved the place.

A little slice of country heaven

This was like stepping back in time to a cozy little country house. The yard and landscaping was absolutely beautiful and the house was quiet and cozy. I rented this for the weekend to host a baby shower and Jenifer was exceptionally accommodating, communicative, and flexible with us. Utilizing the outdoor back patio ended up creating the most intimate and beautiful shower atmosphere.

Relaxing stay for Notre Dame Game weekend!

This comfortable house and property was wonderful for my family of four, my brother, and our parents. We were able to participate in the Friday fun on campus at Notre Dame and then the game but come back to rest and relax. We thoroughly enjoyed the backyard space, ALL the amenities provided, and the warm comfort of a home. We ordered excellent pizza and wings from the Billy Goat 9 and Dine local restaurant. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks to the hosts!
