The farm house suited our needs perfectly for several families and children. The description on VRBO accurately described the property. The property also has a large open grassy yard that was unexpected but enjoyed by the kids. Close to town with anything you may need from groceries,pharmacies, hardware store and Walmart is close by. We used as home base for a wedding at Ferwiod gardens

Family Getaway in South Bend

The house was very neat to visit! The historic nature of the house was cool for the kids to see and even learn about. The house was well stocked with all amenities. The hosts were super helpful and even bought a sprinkler for the kids to play with because of the hot heat during our stay. The property was also very close to many places - grocery, shopping, activities, Notre Dame, etc!

Wonderful, Charming place to stay!

My sisters and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. Kitchen is fabulous, we cooked many of our meals. We each had out own bedrooms! Excellent country feel, but close to local stores/shops. We especially enjoyed the closeness of "The Chief" Ice Cream!

Large Group Golf Trip

Big farm house with plenty of beds; nice kitchen, great Country Table and outdoor Patio for large groups. Clean and property well maintained. Overall communication with owners excellent - note, water pressure not the best but okay. Spa and Cottage featured in photos are extra costs above and beyond advertised fees (only noted in property detail write-up).

Great place for a group

We had a really nice time at this spacious and clean property. Big group with 14-16 people and kids included. The kitchen was well set up and stocked for a big group, the huge dining room table is perfect for gathering everyone together, the property has a lot of room outside to play, plenty of rooms, beds and bathrooms, and the host is very polite/responsive. Everyone loved their stay and we hope to book this place again for future trips.

Great place for extended family

Our extended family stayed here for a Notre Dame Football weekend, and it had everything we needed. The beds were all made, and there were towels for everyone. Supplies were stocked precisely where they should be. Check-in and check-out were straightforward. Grocery stores, restaurants, etc., are nearby. We will likely choose this house every year for our family gatherings.

Wonderful Cozy Stay

This quaint, historic house had everything to offer for a cozy stay, whether visiting the Southbend area or going to the game. We enjoyed: the spacious scenic property, huge dining room table, large kitchen, ecletic decoe & pictures, 3 minute walk to the Indiana-Michigan border, and so much more. There were plenty of cozy bedrooms, bathrooms, hottub & sauna, great patio, big screen TV to watch the games, etc. We loved this beautiful property, had a great time, and would definitely stay again.

GREAT HOUSE!

This home was absolutely amazing!! We had 7 groomsmen, the groom and our immediate family staying here and there was plenty of room and we were never on top of each other. We had the rehearsal supper here as well and accommodated almost 50 people! Every time you turned around there was something more interesting to see (antiques, photos, and an organ!) The grounds are beautiful and the patio is a great outdoor space. We had a terrific time in this terrific house and were extremely sad to leave. karen

Wonderful!

We stayed from October 10th until October13th, 2024. Prior to arrival, we were awed by the photos and descriptions left by previous visitors, and couldn't believe that a property could be as good as described. We were collectively super impressed by the home, the amenities, the location, and could not find anything wrong. Our group was comprised of family members from age 78 to age 6, and there was ample room for even more people. The owners were easily accessible, and answered any questions we had prior to arrival. About the only negative from our stay is that we couldn't stay longer! For anybody looking for a comfortable stay with a large group, this place is for you.

Delightful historic quirky old home near Notre Dame, with easy access on game day. Plenty of beds for our group, which was a mixture of friends and family. Kitchen with its sitting area and the dining room were great for gathering and visiting. We loved sitting around the fire pit outside after the game. Hope to be back in the future!

Great accommodations for our family reunion!

The historic farmhouse was fascinating! This was great for our family reunion with ages ranging from 10-80. We appreciated the number of rooms and the option of the cottage and spa. The large dining table was perfect for us all to eat together and to play games. The outdoor space was great for yard games and hanging out around the campfire in the evening. David is a very prompt responder and gives very clear instructions. This is a great place to stay!

Great home to rent!

Great central location. Large enough to have multiple families stay together. Everyone had a bed (mattresses could stand an upgrade) and plenty of bathrooms. Cottage was cute and perfect for extra privacy. Plenty of space for cars and kids enjoyed playing outside. Loved, loved, loved the long table for the family to gather!

Lovely house, great host/owner!

Beautiful house and plenty of space for large groups. David was very responsive with any questions during the stay. The only thing to be aware of is the kitchen is not well stocked in terms of pots, pans and serving dishes. So don't plan to do a lot of cooking for your large group. Overall, a great place to stay!

Great Stay, But With A Few Issues

Plusses: Clean historic building. Lots of space that was ideal for our family (20 people total), especially the large dining room table and separate living room and sitting rooms. Upstairs bathroom is spacious along with the master bedroom. We added the sauna, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. The kitchen is functional and was adequate for our needs. Building manager and contractor were both very responsive to our issues (see minuses). Minuses: Upon our arrival the water pressure was literally to a trickle. Showers could not be taken, washing dishes took an extended time, and long waits between toilet flushes. After some discussion with the contractor (who thankfully was courteous and prompt) it was discovered that there was a whole house water iron filter that had gotten plugged up. Once replaced and the appropriate valves were opened up the water pressure was back to normal. I recommend to the owners that this filter be checked and changed regularly (like, at every time change?). The biggest issue was the beds. The master bedroom had a good mattress, but all of the other bedrooms need updating. In one of the upstairs rooms my son and his wife had to put the mattress on the floor in order to sleep. If the mattress issue is resolved in the future we would consider staying here again and would recommend the property contigent to this.
