"Great cozy cabin. Easy to find. Super quiet. Older building with lots of charm. Old pine walls and ceiling were perfect nostalgia, brought back childhood memories.Hosts were extremely friendly too."

The grounds where the cottage sits are wonderful - full of trees, flowers and Wild Turkeys!! We enjoyed having our coffee outside on the porch. The location is central to Notre Dame as well as restaurants/shopping. Cute little touches inside that gave it a "homey" feel! Plenty of linens; the washer and dryer are a really nice amenity. Our only issue and the reason we didn't give it an overall rating of Excellent revolved around the sleeping accommodations; not the bed itself, but the mattress - it did not make for a restful night and we were there for 3. We would definitely book again if we knew we were going to get good Zzzzzzzzz, thanx!

Beautiful and charming, private cottage next to the woods but very convenient to South Bend. Check-in was a breeze, the owners were extremely responsive any time I had questions. Upon arrival, I was greeted by fresh flowers and a plate of delicious, individually-wrapped cookies and brownies. Charming, well-chosen decor, and all of the amenities I needed to cook meals when I wasn't dining out with family. The cottage is a fair distance away from the host's house, and from another cottage on the property, so it's nicely private. It's near the garage and driveway, so unloading from parking in the driveway is quick and convenient. Everything was spotlessly clean and charming - a beautiful refuge. WiFi was fast and flawless. Faith and Joe are excellent hosts, and this beautiful cottage was exactly the refuge I needed while in the area to visit family!

A lovely little cottage that is well-maintained and accentuated with small personal touches like fresh flowers, cookies, and bottles of water. The bed was quite comfy. Fair warning: if you're on the taller/broader side (I'm 6'4, 250lbs), make sure you keep your head and shoulders tucked in while moving around at first. Took a few knocks here and there being careless, but that is no fault of the property or its owners! 10/10 would stay again!
