Spacious Fun close to ND
The hosts have made this older home as charming as could be and we totally enjoyed being in this is nicely appointed, clean, comfortable and spacious property while visiting South Bend to see our son in his first year of coaching at Notre Dame. The hosts have thought of everything you could need to enjoy a stay and have given many of the areas of this older home a modern flair with the updated furnishings and every accessory and item imaginable for a FUN weekend with family and friends! Nothing has been overlooked! We were able to relax and enjoy our time together without one single worry! Convenient to eateries, grocery and other stores and only a short drive to ND. We would definitely book this property for future stays! GO IRISH!
