Good game day weekend experience

We greatly enjoyed our weekend stay. Our family was comfortable, and our dog was happy he got to come. We were close enough to campus to enjoy the game day festivities. Susan was very attentive and communicative. Thank you!

Great Place to Stay for ND Games

This is a great place to stay for Notre Dame football game weekends. The house was very clean, and well stocked. We appreciated our welcome gift and complimentary toiletries. The location is not far from campus and excellent if you’re looking for a quiet place to relax after the game. We highly recommend and will definitely inquire for future game weekends.

Exceptional experience!

Daughter and I loved this rental experience. The home is beautiful and the property is amazing. We enjoyed the nature in the yard and the hospitality inside. Communication with the host was superior. Little touches, like a variety of unusual teas and bath products, were so generous. Pet friendly and peaceful, the neighborhood was great as well. I will return!

Nice Home But Would Like Some Improvements

Good location, clean home, nice accommodations, but would like to see more towels provided for bathrooms and either add a TV that streams OR note more prominently in your listing that no TV exists. I rented for a football weekend and watching other games is part of such a weekend.
