Escape Room Fun!
We (my husband and I) were here for a non football ND event during the week. Property was clean with plenty of room for us. Escape rooms are a hobby of ours and it was a really fun time! Some things are easy, some puzzles challenging. We are experienced but did not fly through the puzzles. A fantastic idea for something to do in "down time". We walked to campus some of the time we were back and forth. Close to everything. An older home but nicely renovated. We were very comfortabpe here. Todd is an excellent host.

Short trip to South Bend
This property was perfect for our very short trip to South Bend for a family birthday party. It would have been great to be able to stay longer, but schedules wouldn't allow. The property was perfect and we enjoyed the time we had there!

Property Adversely Affected By Recent Storm
Todd was very attentive and supportive but the property was damaged by recent storms in the area. Todd was even performing repairs to the property while we were staying there. This adversely affected the back yard atmosphere, especially for our 4 year old grandson. The property also needs an upgrade to its furniture which is worn and old. But we had a good stay.

Perfect spot to stay
We were in town for a bridal shower I was hosting for family and needed a good space to put stuff together and finalize the food. We had plenty of space, close to out venue and stores we needed. Host was very responsive if we had questions. Front door handle needed fixed as well as a cabinet door but they were aware. I would definitely stay again!

Great location in close proximity to campus. Excellent communication throughout booking and stay. Very nice hot tub. Overall very pleased. I would note that the kitchen is not very well stocked with necessities if you're planning on cooking meal(s) in home. Would definitely rent again, however.

Great home with easy access in South Bend
I stayed hear for nearly 2 weeks when in the South Bend area for work. The property was everything promised, was clean and very nice. All the promised amenities were available and easy to use/find. I didn't use the hot tub, but it was hot and ready. Communication with Todd, the rental manager, was proactive on his part, easy, seamless and pleasant. I can only give a 5-Star recommendation. Home away from home, and near everything in the area!
