Wonderful Stay

Our group of 6 family members stayed at the house for an event at ND and it was absolutely perfect. Clean, stocked, cozy and welcoming with room for everyone. The location is perfect because it's close to campus but being on the quiet road makes it very peaceful. Would absolutely stay here again.
