★★★★★“This is the nicest place I have stayed in the last six years in the South Bend area. For future visits, this would be my first choice to book. I might even plan future visits around the availability to stay here! Our family of six slept very comfortably and had plenty of elbow room, but also great community spaces indoor and out (including the rocking chairs on the front porch). The interior decor is bright, simple and fresh. This is one of a kind in the SB area!”
— Janene P.

It's location is perfect if you are visiting Notre Dame, walking distance to the campus and to the shops and restaurants off campus on Eddy street.

She allowed early check-in and us to bring our pup. Check in was convenient for us to unpack and get situated to start our trip early. It is upstairs for those that may have difficulty and/or small children that require a baby gate. We slept comfortably with 2 adults, 3 Children (4,6, & 12) and Pup. Living room has a pull-out couch that slept all 3 kids. There is an additional twin if needed. Really close to campus and free-ways. We would definitely stay again.”

Hosts provided so many of the little extras appreciated while traveling - Kleenex, ziplock bags, laundry and dish soap, nice soft TP and plenty of it! The home was well stocked with serving and dish ware. We really appreciated the comfy cozy mattresses and bedding. Everything was sparkling clean and spotless. Mostly the hosts were incredibly kind to accommodate our request for a late checkout so we could host a birthday brunch for our ND student and her hall mates. Home was flawless and hosts were among the most attentive and caring down to every detail!”

★★★★★“Our family of four adults had the most delightful stay at this gorgeous, updated and incredibly comfortable home. Surrounded by open green lawn with a cozy backyard fire pit, the property immediately feels like a welcoming retreat. Upon walking in the door, you enter an inviting, beautiful, and comfortable great room and kitchen which will become your favorite hang space for downtime with friends and family. The kitchen is an absolute dream—thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The bathrooms are brand new and feel spa-like, complete with plush towels and upscale toiletries. The bedrooms are a welcome respite with luxury linens, pillows and incredibly cozy beds. We all had plenty of space and slept very peacefully. What truly elevates this property, however, is the host. Communicating with Gena was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She is warm, responsive, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about creating an exceptional guest experience. Her attention to detail and genuine hospitality shine through in every aspect of the home. I think she's found her calling! I am highly selective and a thorough researcher when booking a rental home. This is one of the finest rental homes we've ever experienced. If debating, trust me, you've found something truly special. The home is even more beautiful than the photos; every expectation was exceeded. We left feeling grateful, refreshed, and already looking forward to a return visit. Thank you, Gena!”
— Elizabeth G.

— Taylor A.
★★★★★“Charming house close to Notre Dame This immaculate and cozy house is about a 22 minute walk from Notre Dame Stadium. It is newly renovated. The neighborhood is quiet and it sits right across the street from a large park. We had three adult couples gather for an ND football game and it was just great. And communication with the owner could not have been easier. Highly recommend and will stay here again!”
— Nicole V.
★★★★★“Beautiful Home! Our stay was incredible! The home is just as it looks in the pictures. Very well maintained, the beds were really comfortable, and the house is in an ideal location. We loved sitting out by the fire pit in the backyard! We would love to stay here again!”
— Travis T.
★★★★★“NOTRE DAME GAME BLISS!!! This property will put you in the mood for GAME DAY or FAMILY TIME. Only 1/2 mile to Notre Dame! Restaurants and attractions close by. We visited The Potowatami Zoo and had brunch at Tippecanoe. They are in the process of installing beautiful walkways and a patio. Park across the street is lovely. Tennis too. Family time around the fire pit...inside and out was A+. Gena has thought of everything and goes TOP of the line. Communication with her was VERY pleasant. We have rented several homes in The Bend, this being our favorite so far.”
— Rick M.
★★★★★“South Bend Home The property is very clean, beds comfortable and kitchen fully stocked. Would definitely stay again”
— A. M.
★★★★★“Beautiful, comfortable, and close to ND This property is as promised — clean, beautiful, well-stocked with supplies to make your stay comfortable. Even closer to ND (half-a-mile or so) now that the Eddy Street development has been completed (with more housing, a Trader Joe's and other shops). Gena (owner) was helpful and responsive to any questions. Neighborhood was quiet which made using the big outdoor space in backyard that much more relaxing — though there is plenty of space for socializing/get togethers, if that is in your plans) . I definitely recommend this property and would book it again for myself and my family when visiting the area in the future.”
— Iva C.
★★★★★“Perfect ND House! Go Irish! Loved everything about this beautiful home. It's set up perfectly for enjoying your visit to Notre Dame.

We can't wait to visit again.”

★★★★★“Perfect location close to ND Jack's house is the perfect home away from home when you are visiting South Bend. Close to campus and just 2 blocks away from Trader Joe's. The house is newly renovated and is fully stocked with everything you need for your visit. The back yard has a totally enclosed privacy fence and a fire pit so you can enjoy family time around the fire at night. We will be back the next time we are visiting Notre Dame.”
— Debbie S.
★★★★★“Perfect House for our Visit in South Bend! We couldn't have found a more perfect place to stay during our visit to South Bend to see family and friends. The house was impeccably clean, tastefully renovated, and filled with amenities that made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The spacious backyard and grill allowed us to host our friends and family with ease, which was a highlight for us. Additionally, having Trader Joe's within walking distance made it convenient for all our grocery needs. It was also very comfortable for our child who is under two years old. Would highly recommend and we will also be staying here again during our next visit!!”
— Alyson M.
★★★★★“A site for great memories We had a delightful experience at this property. The host was very available and helpful. The location is great especially given proximity to campus. The home was clean, well furnished and well appointed. We and our guests will forever remember the outdoor event we had in the spacious, flat, functional yard. Bordered by a nice wood fence we had privacy and could easily manage our guests arrival and departure. The walkway from the street provided easy access directly to the backyard. The firepit and seating were very much appreciated and in the evening when the lighting along the fence was on, the ambiance was great.”
— John M.
★★★★★“Awesome place This house is fantastic, even if you're not in town for a game. It's a lot bigger than in looks, it's very clean and cozy, and has everything you need for the stay. Location is great, walkable to grocery stores, Eddy St., the stadium, etc. We'll definitely be back.”

★★★★★“Better than couldve asked for. Huge props to Gena. We LOVED this place. We had my Mom in for Christmas and i knew itd be a bigger group and wanted to be able to all co-mingle together and this was the perfect place. It was clean and well maintained. Gena was quick to respond when I showed up a bit early. Huge shoutout.”
— Christy T.
★★★★★“Gena has an awesome place and is an even better host. I was there for 31 days attending a summer course at ND. My wife and our airedale joined me. The house was perfect for our long term stay. It had everything we needed and Gena repeatedly checked in with us via text. There are two bedrooms on the main floor and one bedroom downstairs. We spent most of the time on the main floor, but if you have a bigger group (6-8 folks), this house will work great for you. The backyard is a highlight. It is fenced in for the dog, has a grill, and also has a great sitting area around a fire pit. The house is conveniently located near campus. I drove every day to class at Stayer. It was about three minutes if I got stuck at a light or two. It is about a 15-20 minute walk (at a decent pace) to the stadium. It is close to Eddy Street Commons and several great food and drink establishments. It is a little further to the 'Backer on the east side of campus. We even walked home from downtown South Bend on the 4th of July. It took us about 45 minutes. Great place. Great host. If you are traveling with a dog (under 50 pounds according to the Vrbo info), this is the place for you. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Notre Dame for a football weekend or long summer visit.”
— Matt O.
★★★★★“My family and I recently stayed at "Jack's Place". The house is beautifully furnished, well stocked, extremely clean, comfortable, extremely close to everything ND, and, most important to me, pet friendly! Lots of room to spread out! Gena is such a lovely and attentive host!! She was available to give recommendations for things to do and places to eat. We enjoyed our stay and hope to book the house again this fall.”
— ROCHELLE C.

— Thomas S.
★★★★★“This was a great place to stay. We went to a concert at Norte Dame and was very easy walk to the campus. House was very clean, well stocked and comfy beds. Gena was great to work with!”
— Amy K.
★★★★★“My past 5-day stay at this property was my second time to stay here (last rented in July 2023). So much of what I loved before is still present — friendly and helpful owner, beautiful, updated, comfortable property close to ND (this home is approximately a few blocks away, close to new or renovated residential and commercial developments near Eddy Street Commons) that is well-maintained and well-stocked with EVERYTHING you need for time away from home! Six to eight people could easily stay here comfortably — there are roomy social spaces to hang out upstairs, downstairs, and outside. Personal highlights for me — morning coffee in the relaxing, private backyard (love the firepit area, even if I never had enough free time in my schedule to use it), watching tennis/pickleball matches in the park across the street, close commutes to campus, quick trips to Trader Joe's grocery a few blocks away to grab meal items or bottle of wine. I look forward to renting here again for my next ND visit. Many thanks to Gena the Owner for her welcome gift of Prosecco and her continued gracious hospitality! 5 stars, all around!”

★★★★★“We loved our time in South Bend! This house was the perfect home for us for a week. The house was well-appointed with everything we needed. There was plenty of room for my husband, our two kids, and our two small dogs to be together or to spread out. And we loved the backyard! Also, the house is so close to important and easy food shopping. Gena was quick to reply to any questions we had. If we visit Southend again, I would stay in this house so quick!”

★★★★★“Gena's property is in the best location if you're in South Bend to visit the distinguished University of Notre Dame. It's a quick drive to the school or you can even walk/jog to the school of a fine day. Trader Joe's and Eddy Street are both walking distance too. My family enjoyed the space. We all looked forward go coming back to the property at the end of the day. The patio /garden was also amazing with the lights, the BBQ/Grill and the pit. I can just imagine how nice it'll be during colder months. Will definitely be back if we get the chance.”
— Ann M. · Hong Kong
★★★★★“Looking for a place to stay near Notre Dame's campus? This spot is perfect—just a quick 2-minute drive to the university! We chose it not only for its proximity to Notre Dame but also for its convenient location near other South Bend attractions. From my cousin's rehearsal dinner at Carmella's Restaurant to her wedding at the Armory, everything was just 5–10 minutes away. Even the Indiana Dinosaur Museum and the Michigan border were only about a 25-minute drive. The house easily accommodated five adults with plenty of space. Parking was readily available right in front, and the backyard fire pit made for peaceful, relaxing evenings. I'd absolutely stay here again!”

★★★★★“LOVELY HOME! From the moment I walked into Gena's home, I was struck by how welcoming the space was! It was even more beautiful in person!! The attention to detail was evident, from the cozy decor to the thoughtfully provided amenities. The beds and couches were some of the most comfortable I’ve experienced in my travels, and the room darkening shades ensured a peaceful night's sleep.

— Iva C.
★★★★★“Jack’s place was the perfect place for our 6 night stay, and Gena was a perfect host. The upstairs was stately with its 10 foot ceilings, while the downstairs, with its new carpeting, fresh paint, large comfy sofa, great lighting, large bedroom with 2 twin beds and it’s own private bathroom, was a total dream for the boys. My favorite memory is of 6 teenagers huddled together on the large comfy sofa, buried in blankets (the ac downstairs is refreshingly crisp) watching a scary movie. I also enjoyed listening to them laugh and bond downstairs, while the adults socialized upstairs….separate, but together. We took advantage of the wood burning fire pit while we watched the fireflies dance. Coming from Hawaii, we had only seen them in the movies. Location was ideal with a medium sized park right across the street (I think they are putting in tennis or pickleball courts), lots of parking, and a 5 minute drive to Notre Dame…perfect for game days!”

We were in town from Charleston hunting for our own home, and it was such a treat to come back to such a gorgeous place at night!
