★★★★★“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!”

★★★★★“Gena is an excellent host and her home was clean, modern, well-appointed with every convenience and amenity you may require. 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. Gena was extremely responsive, accommodating and flexible. The experience was one of the better we've had with Airbnb and we will definitely come back on our next trip to South Bend.”

★★★★★“We loved that this rental reminded us of the early days of VRBO homes. 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!”
