Great location well appointed and excellent hosts! Would certainly stay again.
Stayed at this property many times during my son’s tenure at Notre Dame. Fitting that I rented during graduation weekend. Hopefully will return for a football game in the future
The cottage was exactly as advertised: Clean, comfortable and conveniently located. We will stay here again when in the area!
Comfortable cabin cottage, Close to shopping, Not far from Notre Dame. We had lunch in the backyard which was nice. Coffee was a huge plus. Washed some dirty clothes before going home. Plenty of towels and linens. Felt very safe. Bed kinda small so wife and I split up for the night. Not a tragedy. I will be back.
The cottage was just what we were hoping for. It was clean, comfortable, super cozy. The area was quiet and peaceful. The hosts made it known that they were available if needed for any issues or questions, and they surprised us with homemade cookies and fresh cut flowers. Nice touch!
The property was cozy, comfortable, and private. All the extra amenities were pleasantly surprising to us ~ thank you very much!!
Very nice stay. Very small but cozy. It had personal touches from the owners. Enjoyed the deer coming up and eating apples from the tree. Houses were nearby but you didn't really notice when you were inside. Landscape was adorable. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Very cute and cozy cottage, very clean. Came in for a notredamn game, perfect location. The fresh flowers and cookies were a perfect touch. Thankyou
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at this cottage! We were greeted with some delicious sugar cookies (wife wants the recipe!) and fresh flowers upon check-in. We had a great time enjoying our morning coffee on the patio out back. It was very quiet and peaceful, so we slept great, too! The place is well-maintained and just the right size for a couple coming into town for a college football game :)
Great location close to dining and shopping. Easy access to US 20, US31 and I80. Roughly 20 minutes to Notre Dame. Everything you need in the cabin. Faith and Joe are great hosts!
Loved staying here for a second time. Not too far from Notre Dame campus and had everything we need. Great hosts and beautiful grounds. Highly recommend!
Clean but, they have a ant problem in the bathroom. We also saw a few on the kitchen counter.
We would love to revisit this stay this lovely cabin. It was clean, private, quiet and cozy.
We had a wonderful night’s sleep! Great place and friendly hosts!
The cottage was a perfect fit for our needs. Joe and Faith went above and beyond. We will definitely look to staying here again as we travel back to South Bend to be with family.
QUAINT AND CLOSE TO ALL. MY GO TO PLACE IN SOUTH BEND
We enjoyed our stay. The location of the cottage was perfect for visiting Notre Dame and we were pleasantly surprised with homemade cookies when we arrived. The hosts are very responsive and were helpful with suggestions of the area. Very nice experience!
Nice cozy cottage
Everything was great. Loved the cookies and fresh flowers.
The cottage is amazingly clean and cozy. It is in a very beautiful property and very quiet at night. It is also close to a shopping center. Fee coffee, etc. We will come back for sure.
I stayed for ten days in July and really enjoyed the place. It's out of the way but not far from restaurants and shopping, and the hosts are great! I'd definitely book it the next time I need a place to stay in South Bend!
We really enjoyed the two nights we stayed at this beautiful cottage. It is exactly as described and has everything you need. Highly recommend!
It was a great visit. Close to town, while also being a quiet retreat. Thank you
My son and I really loved our stay at this historic property! The owners are extremely helpful and caring; they even offered to assist me with a ride issue I had from the airport. They go above and beyond. The grounds are lush and decorated for the season. All the comforts of home are in the cabin. The bonus?? The scrumptous, homemade cookies left for the guests! Beautiful place with historic charm!
Can’t say enough about how cozy and clean the cottage was. The sitting area outback was an incredible place to sit and relax and enjoy the beautiful flowers. You truly felt you were way out in the country. This truly was a wonderful place to stay.
Very welcoming and the hosts are gracious and accommodating. What a great find and wonderful place to stay in the South Bend area. We enjoyed our stay and the place is just the retreat we were seeking
We had a family reunion to go to in South Michigan but wanted to play a little poker at the casino for a couple of nights at Four Winds South Bend. This cottage was a perfect location for both. The host welcomed us with some pastries and the cottage is really cute according to my wife;) We grilled some steaks on the grill and enjoyed the very well manicured back yard and flower gardens. We also strolled down to the Studebaker Brewing Company and it had great food. However, I am an architecture buff and like old homes of with the cottage is an historic home; but the Studebaker facility was impressive. There is also a Studebaker Museum that we did not have a chance to visit and that sounds like a great reason to come back soon. I know another review noted the small bed (and it is) so if that is an issue, may want to bring a blow up mattress with you. I highly recommend this cottage!!
Warm and cozy that offers the peace and quiet needed after a stressful day at work.
