About this property

*SUPER CLEAN*Luxurious*Spacious*Open Plan*Great Amenities*Short Walk to ND!!!

The three keys to a great VRBO/HomeAway travel experience: The Home, The Location, and Detail Oriented Hosts. We have them all!
The home is spacious, luxurious, comfy, and ideal for entertaining! Our past guest reviews describe the experience the best- give them a read!
Situated in the sought after neighborhood of Wooded Estates, walk along the safe and quiet street to ND campus in 10 min.
My cohost and I are thoughtful & experienced hosts. We have stayed at over 50 vacation rentals ourselves as guests!
~ABOUT THE HOUSE~
5 bedrooms and THREE full bathrooms. More than 2 full baths this close to ND campus is rare! If you have a bigger group it makes a big difference to have 3 showers instead of 2 when everyone is getting ready in the morning.
Completely renovated in 2014. You will enjoy 3000 sq. ft. of gathering spaces, tastefully decorated bed and bathrooms, backyard and deck w/ gas grill. This home is tailored to host group travel of all kinds.. families, friends, and business trips.
-THE LIVING SPACES-
A large, open concept great room is the ideal space for entertaining, cooking, eating, and watching TV on the big screen. You ll look forward to waking up and making coffee in our fully stocked coffee bar. We have options for every kind of coffee drinker...Keurig machine, Drip Coffee Maker, French Press, bean grinder, hot water kettle, coffee grounds, whole beans, flavored creamers, milk, sugar, and spices.
For those that want space away from the main room, a cozy living room awaits with a comfy couch and plenty of blankets to curl up and read a book or watch cable TV on the 55" flat screen. A lower level walk out basement equipped with a wet bar features a 3rd living room space outfitted with two 50" flatscreen Cable TVs - you won t miss any sports action - watch multiple games at once - 150+ channels!

As the neighborhood is so close to campus, street parking is not permitted on football game Saturdays. Luckily, you will have plenty of parking right on our property!
~ABOUT THE HOSTS~
My partner and co-host, Janeli Bitor and I traveled around the world for 365 consecutive days. We stayed at over 50 rental properties along with some of the world’s finest 5 star hotels (thanks to hotel points). We are taking all the knowledge we learned over the course of a year as customers of the travel hospitality industry and applying it to hosting our rental property. After many great (and not so great) experiences we understand all the big and small details that make a standout travel experience. Book our place and let us earn your 5 star review!
~THE NEIGHBORHOOD~
Wooded Estates is one of the few residential areas which directly border the campus of Notre Dame. As close as you will be to the action of an ND event, the neighborhood is a quiet oasis filled with mature trees and walk able streets. WALKING distance highlights include: Notre Dame Stadium (20-25 min), Eddy Street Commons (20 min.), Purcell Pavilion (20 min), Compton Family Ice Arena (10-15 min.), The LineBacker (7 min), Belmont Beverage Liquor Store (7 min), Starbucks, Parisis Restaurant, and Martins Super Market. If you don't want to walk all of these places are an easy 5 minute drive or less.

Great spot for a group

Perfect place for our robotics team and parents. It is clean comfortable, with plenty of beds/bedrooms & 3 living spaces to spread out and decompress. Lovely stocked coffee bar with 3 different coffee options. Well stocked kitchen and high-end toiletries. Quiet, safe neighborhood with easy access to town and close to a variety of stores. Easy check-in. Nothing was amiss, so we had no need to contact hosts. Modest requirements for cleaning/checking out. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic property, will stay again!

The property was well stocked, beds very comfortable, lots of space to spread out. Owner was very attentive to our needs, we were able to check in early…there for a family funeral so every nicety was appreciated during a difficult time. Nice touches everywhere, lotion, tissues, plenty of toilet paper so we didn’t have to worry about anything. Bravo, this VRBO gets it and it was a very enjoyable stay!

Incredible stay for golf trip

Easily the best rental property I’ve stayed at. Huge place with plenty of sleeping options for our group of 12 guys and great spaces for us to hang out both inside and outside. Walking distance to breakfast and to the Linebacker. We will definitely be back.

Great Place for a Weekend Stay!

We stayed with our family for a youth sports weekend. House was very clean! Bedding and sheets were of 5 star hotel quality! There are multiple great rooms for group gatherings. Fancy coffee bar, welcome letter, warm decor, updated house - we felt very comfortable and welcomed. We had a great stay!

Nice home in a convenient area.

Property management was helpful. In all a nice home. The home was clean and things were organized and stocked.A couple of things needing attention; master bath shower door frame at base should be caulked (left side), upper hall bath door sticks badly my grandson got stuck inside the bathroom and lower level shower needs gasket at bottom of door and when tunring on the hand held sprayer water comes out behind tile at the bottom.Outside areas of home needs a bit cleaning up. I had to spend time cleaning upper deck, table and chairs as well as cleaning bird droppings off all the seating around the fire pit. There should be a credit off the cleaning.

Birthday Bliss

We celebrated our Mom's 93rd Birthday here! There were only 4 of us staying there the entire time, and the Home gave us each some desperately needed time to ourselves, with all the upstairs as well as downstairs rooms...following the Christmas hustle. Very tastefully decorated IRISH with many of the Hosts' travel memoirs on display. Very interesting! FabulousHosts!!!

This place is insane. I’ve been to many vrbo’s and never written a review. But I have to here. This is an amazing place to be. So clean. Has everything. The owners are the best and they cater to everything you possibly could need. There is no other place you should stay. We were here for my daughters wedding and we had the best time.

Great place near ND!

We had a great experience, and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Notre Dame! The house is just as described and was stocked with high end soaps and lotions that we appreciated. Travis exceeded our expectations by letting us ship boxes to the house and then bringing the boxes inside when they arrived before we did!

Great for Large Group

The house was great for a quick get-together with our extended family (we only stayed for three nights). We comfortably slept 13 of us in the house. Everything was nicely appointed, very clean and well set up for a group of that size. The kitchen was well stocked. The hosts were great at responding quickly.

Never Judge a Book by Its Cover!

Upon arriving at the house, some of our family thought the house was going to be too small for our large group. However, after opening the door and reviewing the home, we were all blown away! This house was absolutely beautiful and SO clean!! There was so much space for all of our family and room to spare! The house provided all the amenities one would need for a weekend getaway and for all ages! Our kids loved this house and didn't want to leave! We've discussed that the next time we stay at South Bend for an ND game, we are booking this home!
