Football weekend

2 of my sons, and my brother stayed at the property for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay, the location, the amenities, and the views from the property. It was a simple 20 minute drive to the NOTRE DAME campus and i would highly recommend staying here with or without kids.

Beautiful lake, great for families

Our stay was very enjoyable. We enjoyed fishing, swimming , and the lily pad off the dock. There were 3 kayaks and paddle boards for us to use. The house was well stocked for us to cook meals and there was plenty of room for our family of 6. We also brought our dog and he thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor space and the lake. Highly recommend for families looking for a peaceful, low key vacation. Very easy communication with our hosts. Thanks again!

Notre Dame visit

We came to visit the Notre Dame campus and attended a football game. Although the Irish didn’t win, the trip was amazing and the property was gorgeous. Taking in the beautiful fall colors at the lake was such a treat. The location was just right for us and I would highly recommend this lovely home!
