FOOTBALL WEEKEND GET-A-WAY - with outdoor space to die for.

This spacious home is the perfect setting for any ND football game! There is plenty of room for the ND enthusiasts coming together to cheer cheer her name. (We accept fans of other teams as well ;) Two fireplaces to catch up over a glass of wine as you bundle up for the big game. Updated everything; hardwood flooring throughout, new bathrooms with beautiful tile work, gorgeous functional mudroom that enters into modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a huge island to gather around. There are 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bath with open concept kitchen/dining/family room that walks out to a beautiful patio overlooking nature at its finest. A large living room with a second fireplace on main level allows for gatherings for cards/board games or just quiet catching up. An unparalleled weekend experience as it sits on 1.5 acres with a creek. It's the perfect location for unwinding after your daily activities. There is plenty of room to run around, toss a football, or enjoy an evening fire outside! 30 minute walk through campus to stadium gates! (or 8 minute walk to White Fields (Blue Lot) shuttle that transports to library for 5 minute walk to stadium gates). Comfortably sleeps 11 with ability to sleep another 4 if request air mattress. 1 king bed, 2 queen beds, 1 double over double bunk bed and one twin. No more than 16 people at/in the house at any one time please. All linens provided as well as kitchen necessities.

Excellent home for an ND football weekend

We had a wonderful time at Nate and Mandy’s place. It was very clean, looked as expected in the listing, and plenty of space for our entire group. The check-in/check-out process was extremely easy and the hosts were very accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for our stay (beds, towels, tailgate equipment, permits to get back to the house post-game). Definitely hope to stay here again, thank you for having us!

A group of 8 spent the weekend here for a Notre Dame football game. Mandy and Nate were terrific hosts and communicated well with us throughout our stay. This home is very close to the ND campus—ideal for those in town to watch a game. Our group had plenty of room to socialize, grill, and relax while there. Thanks so much for a great experience.

Perfect house for all things Notre Dame

We love this house and the owners. We are now heading back for our fifth stay and can't wait. The house is very comfortable and perfect for any ND event. The owners could not be more accommodating and super helpful. We look forward to many years of Irish football and stays at their home!!!

Amazing ND football weekend

Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay in this home. It was perfect for our group of adults, and Nate and Mandy were thoughtful, generous, and lovely hosts! We loved hanging out in the backyard and cooking out on the patio. I wouldn’t change a thing and I definitely hope to be back for another epic ND football weekend soon!

Beautiful home close to ND

Our group of 10 stayed here for the Navy game last weekend and we could not have had a better stay. Communication with Nate was quick & easy and the home is clean & beautiful. Upon arrival we were welcomed with specialty ND cookies (nice touch!) Very spacious and perfect for family & friends to gather We didn't have time to use the fire pit out back, but hopefully next time. Would highly recommend staying here!!!

Best Notre Dame Weekend House

We love this house! We found this gem on VRBO my son’s freshman year and booked for a football game. I think we’ve seen it at least once every year since then and just used it for graduation! This is the perfect house for a fun relaxing weekend with a group. It has an awesome yard with a relaxing party layout. Grills, loungers, ect! The yard is huge! This property is also close to the campus. We have walked to games many of times and it saves a ton of headache with parking! Neighborhood is quiet and pretty. Four bedrooms and all spacious and the bathrooms are nice with everything you would need! The decor and layout of this home make it special! All Notre Dame and a fun split level that gives everyone thier space and place to watch all the sports!

Perfect Notre Dame Stay

I can not say enough about the hospitality offered and provided by this renter. The location was very convenient for activities on campus and at the house with our ND sophomore and his friends. The tailgate supplies that were offered; tent, coolers, chairs, etc... were great and fully enjoyed on game day. The house is very comfortable and inviting for any gathering. It was very clean and nicely appointed with fresh new linens in all rooms, water bottles in the fridge, and a wonderful information binder about the house and the South Bend area. I highly recommend this home for your ND stay!!

Perfect home for a Notre Dame Football weekend

We were a group of eleven, including a baby. The house layout was great with lots of common space and seating. The kitchen is fully equipped and Mandy paid attention to every detail. She even provided two pack snd plays, high chairs snd even toys for the baby. The big screen TVs were great with YouTube TV, Apple TV and other apps. I really can’t think of one thing that wasn’t perfect. We will be back!!

Perfect for our group

We came to South Bend for a wedding and stayed at Nate and Mandy’s home. It was perfect for our group of 8 adults. They were prompt and helpful with any questions we had before and during our stay. Their house was the perfect place to catch up with family and friends as we went back and forth for the wedding activities in and around Notre Dame campus. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend their home for anyone else.

We had a group of 4 couples come in for a wedding. The property was amazing and we really enjoyed staying.

Wonderful Family Place

We were here for a sisters weekend with a cookout on Saturday afternoon for the rest of the family who wanted to make the drive. So, Dad, all siblings (sans youngest brother) and some nephews and mates made for a great time!! We loved the setup. We all sat outside (very comfy patio seating) until dinner was grilled, when we all moved indoors to feast and eat. I should've take a picture of the huge island that held the food, it was an assembly line. Then we ALL sat down at 1 table and ate and talked for a couple hours, with some additional late arrivals. Then, all us girls had our own rooms, and there was a living room, den and the patio and yard with more spaces to retreat. Which we did as well for some personal time. I took the dog for a walk down the lovely street. Love the houses, beautiful!!

Charming, clean home- great for game day- owners thought of everything!

If you are heading to Notre Dame for a big game- this is the place to stay!! Plenty of space, clean bedrooms, wonderful kitchen, great backyard area to socialize. The owners went out of their way to make sure we had a great time- including stocking the fridge with our shopping list before we arrived to having step-by-step instructions as far as game day logistics, parking, tailgating etc. You could walk but it was a super easy Lyft ride to campus. Great stay for our party of ten ranging in ages from 79 to 10 y.o. Thank you! Go Irish!!

The perfect house for a groups of friends with toddlers!

We had a group of 9 adults and 5 toddlers for a game weekend. This house was setup perfectly and met all of our needs. The pictures do not do justice. Mandy and Nate were beyond amazing in thinking of every possible need 4 families could have (entire house was toddler proof). Without a doubt, we will stay at their home again when we come back to ND for a game weekend! Thank you so much Mandy and Nate for making our cross country, 3 day, chaotic trip trip with toddlers, enjoyable!
