Beautiful home. Magical moments… wild turkey, bunnies, deer, fireflies and more graced the yard during our visit. By far the cleanest STR I’ve ever stayed in. Thoughtful additions added to our comfort. Hosts were kind and communicated well. Loved our stay in Ponader House.

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.

Lovely home in South Bend

This home is wonderful. We rented it for Notre Dame graduation and were able to host an open house for our graduate. The house is larger than the pictures suggest and it was easy to host an event. The hosts have multiple tables and lots of chairs and we were able to use both the inside and outside easily. The neighborhood is quiet, the interior of the home is comfortable, cheerful and is decorated with an ND theme, and the beds are fantastic! The kitchen has everything you need and there are two fridges in the home. All of our group and the guests who attended the party loved the home! The hosts are exceptional. They were easy to reach and very helpful with everything from recommending caterers to providing assistance when there was a power outage due to a storm. Thank you for the fantastic stay!

Home away from home!

This was our second stay at this beautiful home and cannot speak more highly of our experience. The home is immaculate and has everything we could ever need. This time we utilized the board games that are available and had a fun night of Pictionary! We also enjoyed seeing the wild turkey who visited several times and the five deer who were in the backyard. This is a great house and we look forward to staying here again.
