Historic registry farmhouse w/country feel, but close to Notre Dame!

This is a beautiful, large, and unique historic house, in a tucked-away area that feels cozy and private! The check in process was very smooth, and David and Karen (hosts) always responded super quickly whenever I had questions. This is a perfect place for a large family gathering (especially when you want to be in/near South Bend but NOT have the whole house be Notre Dame football themed)! Would recommend to other travelers with large groups, or those wanting to host family/friends.

Very cool historic farmhouse with lots of space.

THE WONDERFUL: We had a spectacular time at this property! We were struck right away upon arrival by just how beautiful this listing is. The fresh snowfall added an extra air of charm and warmth to this gorgeous historic home. From the original wood flooring and metal hardware to the antique furniture and historic photos around the home - it felt like a true step back in time. But not without the comforts of modern times! It boasts a beautiful kitchen with a wide range of tools and appliances.With a large group reunion, it tends to be difficult to find accommodations with a comfortable variety of living spaces, bedrooms, and restrooms. This home stood out with ample options for all three, allowing us space to spread out, relax, and catch up - and dining room space for us to all eat at the same table!The cherry on top was the attentive, kind host, who send prompt responses to any and all requests, proactively sending reminders with helpful information for check in and check out. An absolute pleasure to interact with!TO BE AWARE OF: With our stay in January in a historic home, a bit of uneven heating is to be anticipated. There is an easily accessible thermostat and plenty of blankets around the home to keep cozy in any chillier rooms! Some low banisters or uneven flooring can come with the age, just be aware. We had a wonderful time and would stay again in a heartbeat new year!

Protest was amazing and perfect for our large family gathering

Beautiful home and comfortable to house our staff and cast for the weekend. Very accommodating and sent us heaters when it got chilly.

Beautiful fully equiped kitchen. Comfortable rooms. Love the long table

Delightful historic quirky old home near Notre Dame, with easy access on game day. Plenty of beds for our group, which was a mixture of friends and family. Kitchen with its sitting area and the dining room were great for gathering and visiting. We loved sitting around the fire pit outside after the game. Hope to be back in the future!

The farm house suited our needs perfectly for several families and children. The description on VRBO accurately described the property. The property also has a large open grassy yard that was unexpected but enjoyed by the kids. Close to town with anything you may need from groceries,pharmacies, hardware store and Walmart is close by. We used as home base for a wedding at Ferwiod gardens

The place was spacious enough for our Bible retreat group of 12,loved the long table for group discussions and setting down eating together.lights went out while sleep was glad you sent me a email letting us know when to expect them back on.Every room was nice and clean.Our 2nd time staying here and will be back next year.

The house was very neat to visit! The historic nature of the house was cool for the kids to see and even learn about. The house was well stocked with all amenities. The hosts were super helpful and even bought a sprinkler for the kids to play with because of the hot heat during our stay. The property was also very close to many places - grocery, shopping, activities, Notre Dame, etc!

The historic farmhouse was fascinating! This was great for our family reunion with ages ranging from 10-80. We appreciated the number of rooms and the option of the cottage and spa. The large dining table was perfect for us all to eat together and to play games. The outdoor space was great for yard games and hanging out around the campfire in the evening. David is a very prompt responder and gives very clear instructions. This is a great place to stay!

Great property with plenty of room for all.

Big farm house with plenty of beds; nice kitchen, great Country Table and outdoor Patio for large groups. Clean and property well maintained. Overall communication with owners excellent - note, water pressure not the best but okay. Spa and Cottage featured in photos are extra costs above and beyond advertised fees (only noted in property detail write-up).

My sisters and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. Kitchen is fabulous, we cooked many of our meals. We each had out own bedrooms! Excellent country feel, but close to local stores/shops. We especially enjoyed the closeness of The Chief Ice Cream!

Our extended family stayed here for a Notre Dame Football weekend, and it had everything we needed. The beds were all made, and there were towels for everyone. Supplies were stocked precisely where they should be. Check-in and check-out were straightforward. Grocery stores, restaurants, etc., are nearby. We will likely choose this house every year for our family gatherings.

Great experience. Clean inside and out. Utilized the spa which had plenty of towels etc. Management was easy to work with and they accommodated reasonable special requests. Easily handled our group comfortably.

We stayed from October 10th until October13th, 2024. Prior to arrival, we were awed by the photos and descriptions left by previous visitors, and couldn't believe that a property could be as good as described. We were collectively super impressed by the home, the amenities, the location, and could not find anything wrong. Our group was comprised of family members from age 78 to age 6, and there was ample room for even more people. The owners were easily accessible, and answered any questions we had prior to arrival. About the only negative from our stay is that we couldn't stay longer! For anybody looking for a comfortable stay with a large group, this place is for you.

Home accommodate all 16 of us. Very comfortable. Had a wonderful time.

We had a really nice time at this spacious and clean property. Big group with 14-16 people and kids included. The kitchen was well set up and stocked for a big group, the huge dining room table is perfect for gathering everyone together, the property has a lot of room outside to play, plenty of rooms, beds and bathrooms, and the host is very polite/responsive. Everyone loved their stay and we hope to book this place again for future trips.
