Summary: Eclectic, roomy, fun house both built and furnished in primitive antique fashion. Very private property with the river on 2 sides and a pond and forest on the other two. Very clean. We spent most of our time in South Bend at graduation activities. Positives: Plenty of hot water, comfortable beds and space, lots of sunny space for reading, games and gathering, like a museum with lots to see, water activities like fishing on premises, responsive nearby host and location on the edge of niles (enjoyable community). Negatives: weak or spotty wifi, tricky stairs (especially if there are young kids), limited DiŕectTV offerings.

Summary: My brother took his sons, son-in-law and grandsons to the ND/VA football game. The home was inviting and so great for a lot of little young boys. So many things to do. They wished they would have arrived on Thursday and not Friday so they could have enjoyed the spacious outdoors.

Summary: This is our third time to stay on this property. We have always enjoyed the location, the surroundings and the home. My boys and I have made such great memories and plan to do the same in years to come. The host is a delight and is extremely receptive to any questions. It's a must stay for a family and for friends.

Summary: This was a gem of a find for our family of 4 adults and 2 children. Absolutely anything we needed, this home had it! We kayaked on the lake, dipped our feet in the river and picked stones, hiked on the trails, had s'mores by the fire, and even ventured out for some wine tasting! The kids played with the bins of toys under the stairs and we used the smart TV for Netflix movie nights. We forgot to pack salad dressing and there’s even a shelf of condiments in the fridge for guests to use! The owner even set out a basket with beach towels and bug spray for us. We felt incredibly cared for. The home is a converted barn but looks more like a museum. Except not cold and sterile but warm and inviting. It felt like a “home” more than a “house”. This place once belonged to the owner’s mother and a lot of love and care went into it. The owner was incredibly prompt in communicating with us when we had questions. But we later discovered a binder right by the front door that would have answered all our questions anyway! And there are signs all over the place telling you where things are stored and how to turn on or Lock/unlock the old doors. Our most favorite part was how secluded and peaceful this place is. We didn’t leave the property for a few days and didn’t hear or see another soul except for a few kayaks going down the river. It was a beautiful escape from and it really felt like we traveled back in time For a long weekend. Tara, thank you for everything. We will be back!!!!!!
