Picture 12 of your favorite people pulling into the driveway. Kids tumbling out, grandparents bringing up the rear, cousins you haven't seen in years. Inside, the house exhales. The screening room is cued up for movie night. The hot tub is heating. The fire pit waits for whoever claims it after dinner. Tonight: three games of pool, two arguments over the remote, one perfect group photo nobody planned. This is the trip everyone shows up early for next year.
Here's the thing about 12 people in one house: usually someone gets stuck. Someone ends up on a fold-out, sleeping on the floor, or feeling like they came up short. That doesn't happen here. Five bedrooms means everyone has a real bed and a door that closes. Three living rooms means no one fights for a couch. Four distinct zones (screening room, game room, hot tub, fire pit) give everyone somewhere to be.
★ OUTDOORS The propane fire pit anchors the back patio with plenty of seating including a folding Adirondack lounger. Two 6-person dining sets handle dinners that spill outside. The hot tub is a few steps away, ready by 9 PM for whoever needs a quiet hour. In summer, this is where the trip becomes the trip.
★ THREE LIVING ROOMS The 155-inch U-shape sectional is the main gathering space. Fifteen feet of cloud-soft chenille, room for everyone to stretch out without touching feet. A 6-piece modular sectional in black corduroy handles the spillover crowd. A leather sofa and loveseat creates a quiet third zone for readers, coffee drinkers, and early risers.
★ SCREENING ROOM The secret weapon. A dedicated theater space, separate from the main living areas. Movie night for the kids while the adults are at the fire pit. Football replays on a slow Sunday morning. A specific room for the specific thing.
★ GAME ROOM A 7-foot Hall of Games pool table that holds the afternoons hostage. Around it: Jenga Giant, Giant Tic Tac Toe, the 4Score jumbo set, and framed movie art (Star Wars, LOTR, Fast & Furious, Jaws) on the walls. It's where the cousins end up first and rarely leave.
★ BEDROOMS Five in total. Four with King beds for the adult couples. One Queens room with two beds for siblings, cousins, or teenagers traveling together. Everyone gets a real bed and a real door.
★ BATHROOMS Four full bathrooms mean the morning rotation actually works. No one stands outside a door tapping their foot at 8:45 AM.
★ KITCHEN Fully stocked for the cooking 12 people generate. A gas range for the actual cooks, a dedicated coffee bar for the early crew, dinner prep that can happen with four people in the room without anyone bumping elbows.
★ THE BASICS WiFi throughout the house, central air, three smart TVs (upstairs living room, game room, theater room), washer and dryer, and parking for six cars (two in the garage, four in the driveway).
★ WHO THIS HOME IS FOR This home is built for groups who want everyone to actually fit. A few who land here often:
→ Multi-generational families. Grandparents claim a downstairs King, parents take one upstairs, the kids ping-pong between the game room and the hot tub.
→ Extended family reunions. Kids loud in one room while the adults talk in another.
→ Notre Dame parents and alumni weekends. Walking distance to campus means no parking dance on Saturdays. Drop the bags and walk.
→ Milestone trips and wedding parties. Anniversaries with a destination, bridal-party mornings, retirement weekends. Three living rooms and four bathrooms mean there's room for everything.
- HOT TUB - Please rinse off before using the hot tub. Body oils and lotions will quickly impact the pH levels and balance of the tub pretty quickly making it dirty and unusable. It will be ready and available for your use. We have it serviced and cleaned every two weeks, as recommended by the manufacturer.
-- SMOKING POLICY - Please, absolutely no smoking! Unfortunately, a $1000 fine will be applied if we find smoking has occurred on the property.
- PARTIES - We are a family-friendly property and do not allow parties. If a party is discovered, there will be a fine of $2500 + any damages that occur.
- AMENITY FUNCTIONALITY - We obviously do everything we can to ensure that every amenity listed is sufficiently cleaned and in proper working order upon your arrival. However, unfortunate circumstances can occur from time to time. If major amenities need to be fixed, we will gladly offer a discount of up to 25% of the nightly stay for each night the amenity isn't working.
- QUIET TIMES - Although this is a reasonably secluded location, there are some neighbors around. As such, we ask that you respect their privacy and their right to a peaceful existence! Specifically, between 10 pm and 8 am, noise should be kept to a minimum. Thank you!
- BREAKAGES - We understand these things happen! Should you break anything, please let us know immediately so we can replace or repair the item quickly. We want to make sure each item is available for every guest!
- SANITATION POLICY - For health, sanitation, and property protection reasons, all bodily waste and sanitary activities must take place only in the toilet. Any urination, defecation, vomiting, or other unsanitary actions anywhere else on the property—including indoors or outdoors—are strictly prohibited. Any violation of this rule will result in a $1,000 fine and may lead to immediate removal from the property without refund.
