Spoke with Lisa a few times before booking. She was very prompt in her responses and always provided great information. The house was adorable and our crazy family of 8 adults and a 4 year old were very comfortable. There’s ample space in the living and dining rooms and the bedrooms are spacious. As others mentioned, two of the bedrooms share a commons walk space. They have doors but the back bedroom will have to walk through the other room to go downstairs or use the restroom. Our group is comfortable so it wasn’t really a big deal for us. Lisa decorates for Christmas, just enough to be festive but not gawdy. We brought in a small 4 for tree to decorate and it really was just enough. The house is loaded with dinnerware, glasses, crock pots, bakeware, great pots and pans and a regular and Keurig coffee pot. Having good pans to cook in made such a difference. I’ve had really terrible cookware in previous rentals so I truly appreciated this as I did all of the cooking for the entire family for 3 days!!! My family already said that we should book again next year!!! Thanks, Lisa. We had a great time.

We enjoyed our stay in South Bend at this property. We had great accommodations and it was a great location.

Excellent location , very close to campus and activities as well as convenient to shopping areas. Neighborhood is very private.

I would definitely stay again. House was lovely, clean and well stocked. Important to know to access one bedroom with double bed must go through another bedroom. Bed with twin beds downstairs all other are upstairs. Lovely property.

Lovely, clean house with everything we needed to enjoy the Notre Dame football game!

We loved this little house! The place had all the amenities we could ask for and there were so many thoughtful items provided. The neighborhood was very quiet and so convenient. We will definitely try to stay here on our next visit!

With three days to plan a trip from Wisconsin to Elkhart, IN, for the Central Zones Swim Meet, my head was spinning. We needed space for our family of five to feel like this was a fun adventure rather than trekking five hours away to watch big sis swim for four days. Ponader House to the rescue! We were able to spread out, the kids each claimed their space/bedrooms, and we were able to use our limited downtime to tour Notre Dame. While it was a tiring long weekend, the kids were sad to leave the house. Lisa was very responsive and attended promptly to all of our questions and requests. Thank you!
