    Peaceful getaway

    We stayed during our son’s graduation weekend, and it was perfect for our needs. We loved retreating to the peacefulness of The Farmhouse at the end of our busy days on campus. Wendy was a perfect hostess, and the house was well stocked with everything we needed during our stay.

    Perfect weekend

    We had a wonderful stay at the farmhouse. It is located in the perfect spot, close to everything we needed but when you arrived back home it was serene and quiet. Plenty of room in the house for all of us with a very cozy feeling. The hosts were incredibly helpful and informative about the area. Wonderful people! We wish we could have stayed longer.

    The farmhouse was an excellent last minute booking decision for me and a couple of my friends. It was absolutely gorgeous in the snow. Wendy was very communicative and even stopped by (socially distanced) to make sure everything was going alright. I'd highly recommend this listing!

    Lovely Farmhouse Atmosphere

    We took a step back in time when we walked into The Farmhouse. Our dogs loved being part of a little farm with the miniature horses and cats. We told our family in Michigan and Indiana that they need to stay at the Farmhouse. It's relaxing and the deck is amazing. It's secluded, yet close enough to South Bend to enjoy the town.

    Peaceful escape from the city

    Wendy's Farmhouse was the perfect place for me and my husband to escape the city for a week. After a challenging year, it was wonderful to completely unplug, enjoy the trees and green grass with our dogs, and meet some very sweet ponies and horses. It was exactly as advertised and felt like a warm hug from family members I did not know I had. We look forward to visiting again.

    Quaint property in a peaceful location.

    The farmhouse is a wonderful place to stay. It is equipped with everthing you need. Even bowls for the dog :) Wendy contacted me in less than a hour after booking, and continued to make sure our stay was carefree, and comfortable. It was a pleasure to meet her, her horses and the barn cats. I would highly recommend a stay here. I will book this property again when in town visiting family. Thank you Wendy!

    So Beautiful and Relaxing

    Such a beautiful place. The property and house was very relaxing and well maintained. Great communication with Wendy. We enjoyed being close to Weko park and walking our dog on the beach. We visited a couple wineries. And on our 35th wedding anniversary, we just enjoyed the deck and home. I loved the barn cats and the horses were pretty neat too. We hope to visit again.

    My family visited for a weekend and Wendy could not have been better or more accommodating. The Farmhouse is even better than advertsied! We loved the animals, especially the horses, and interacting with them was so much fun. Notre Dame's campus is very close if that is part of your plans. Cannot say enough about Wendy and how great she was before, during and after our stay. Cannot wait to go back again!

    So good to get away!

    The farmhouse setting is on the edge of suburban South Bend but is right by cornfields and has plenty of outdoor space. The farm house is really nice. There's a great deck, huge yard and some really friendly barn cats as well as horses, both regular and adorable miniatures. Wendy was very pleasant and helpful. It was a real plus to have a crib and high chair on site.

    Quaint and lovely

    What a breath of fresh air! Great place to unplug and relax. Our teenagers loved the animals on the property along with getting to be outdoors with plenty of room to practice their lacrosse skills. The owner Wendy and her family were warm and hospitable going out of their way to make sure we didn't need anything.The property is only about 10-15 minutes from both the University of Notre Dame and St Marys College. Thank you Wendy, looking forward to staying again in the future.

    Great accommodations for groups or family!

    We stayed at the Farmhouse for a ladies getaway. The Farmhouse was perfect for our stay. The house was centrally located for the activities we were doing in South Bend/Mishawaka but still felt like you were out in the country. The sleeping arrangements are great for large groups, bedrooms are on all levels so if people went to bed early they wouldn't be disturbed. The kitchen had all of the amenities we needed (plates, serving dishes, all utensils, and most importantly a huge coffee maker!) and even had a water cooler. We enjoyed seeing the farmhouse residents (ponies and a very friendly kitty) the next morning. I would HIGHLY recommend the Farmhouse for anyone looking for all the luxuries of home while traveling to South Bend. Wendy is a wonderful host making sure you are set before you arrive and making herself accessible if you need anything during your stay. Thank you for a great experience!
