Wonderful family reunion

Comfortable bedrooms, well supplied, if slightly tight kitchen. Pleasant backyard, good for sitting around the firepit by night and toddler play by day. Great location for walking into town and along the River Trail.

Summer Vacation

Our goal was rest & time with our adult children, family members from northern MI & final day with our best friends. Accomplished! Our host was responsive when we had needs/questions. The stay required us to trim a bush (so porch swing could be used), put 3 trash cans at curb for trash day (must have been very old trash/maggots - so nasty) & the cleaning service did not handle anything on porches - just really dirty. Inside of home met all our needs & fairly clean. Had to request DW tabs & paper towels. Beds comfortable but living room couch very low & not comfortable. (I have had both hips & knees replaced to painful getting up from couch)

Lake Barron Family Reunion

CLEAN, CONVENIENT, CHARMING! Our crew of 10, (to include 2 couples in our 60's, 2 couples in their 30's and our 2 young grandchildren), found Jane's home all of the above, . . . and then some! Spacious enough for everyone to have their own space. Enjoyed coffee in the morning on the front porch and cocktails on the back patio in the evening. Wish we had another 1/2 bath, but the home certainly accommodated our needs. Very receptive and friendly host. Thanks so much and all the best!

High School Graduation & Family

We stayed at this lovely property for a week. It was conveniently located to the South Bend airport, family, the high school graduation we attended, and many parks with hiking and birding.The house was well appointed and comfortable and we really appreciated all the cooking utensils that were provided as the majority of our meals we ate at the house.

ND weekend

The place was perfect! Clean and a great kitchen area…kureg with cups waiting. Very nice area to watch TV. Really clean and the host/owner was great with information prior to our arrival. Very close to downtown which has a brewery and distillery. Grocery store a few minutes away. Easy 20 minute drive to ND campus. Highly recommend! Scott

Relaxing and Inviting

My family and I needed a place to stay overnight after attending a wedding at Notre Dame. We were able to check in after the ceremony and relax, take our shoes off, and have some snacks before returning for the reception. This property is in a quiet neighborhood and was the perfect place for us. It was a short 25 minutes drive to the Palais Royal in South Bend. After the reception we came back and stayed over until checkout in the next morning. The house is fully stocked with all the comforts of home. We wish we had more time to spend. We would have enjoyed the patio, fire pit and wrap around porch. We definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.

Great house and super responsive hosts

Just can’t say enough good things about our stay. There were 3 adults and 2 children and so much room to spare. We used the kitchen and laundry facilities and everything was perfect. Beds were comfortable and even though the bathrooms are small, strong water pressure and bathroom amenities more than make up for it. Overall I would highly recommend this house and am thrilled to be coming back in October with another group of friends to stay at this great place! Hosts answered all my question super fast - which we really appreciated.

Home for the Holidays

My daughter and I, along with our two dogs, stayed in this house over Christmas. It just so happened, it was also during a blizzard. We were able to book and extra day last minute due to weather. Every time I contacted the owner, I always heard back within minutes. The driveway was plowed several times during our stay. We had a great time! House was perfect!
