Beautiful Neighborhood and Home
The home was perfect for our family! The location was so close to everything! We went to Mega Play and the zoo. We ate out once at Applebees and they had the best food! The house has everything you and your family will need. We loved every moment here!

May/June stay
Very cute and comfortable place to stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with equipment and the spaces were clean. The bathroom was a little tight but outside of that observation it was a wonderful place to stay. The host was responsive and available. The hot tub was nice and so was the hot tub!

Cute old home; property owners very communicative
This house is old, it does need some reno but we expected that ( price dependent). We didn’t get directions on how to get In from host util asked which concerned me but the host was VERY responsive once we reached out and it wasn’t a problem. There were some issues with the home. The 3rd bedroom lights and fan didn’t work. The owner was going to send someone to fix it:) but that’s the last thing you want when youre trying to relax. So that was a major bummer. The home was pretty clean, but not perfect, the vents need to be cleaned (there is major build up in returns in dining room etc) on main floor but overall a 8/10 cleanliness. We had some minor problems but the host was great. The master bedroom bed was UBER friggen comfortable and we were able to cook our entire Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen provided.

Brief stay near Notre Dame
Adequate space for 2 adults, 3 teens, 2 dogs. Close to Notre Dame which is what we wanted. AC works well. Deck is a nice space. Used the pool only a few times (weather was a little chilly). The hot tub had what looked like a bio-film around the edges so we didn't use. From what I could tell there were no smoke or CO2 detectors so made my husband go get one before we went to sleep the first night. Furniture was comfortable. The place was neat and fairly clean when we arrived. Owner was very responsive.

Listing not as advertised
The house, property, and amenities are not as pictured. I was told the pool would be ready, but it was not. Dirty food in the sink and sponges etc...Furniture, rugs etc are old, stained and moust from humidity. The yard isnot takencate of with weeds everywhere. The deck has raised boards and nails and is splintered. We have comparison pictures of the property and "amenities." I paid a ridiculous amount of money, and our family was not able to stay at the property due to its condition. I am still waiting for a refund for the "extra person charges." Do not recommend.
