House Rules

No parties, drugs or smoking allowed anywhere on the property No pets unless previously agreed upon in writing Do not leave the house unlocked when not present No guests allowed who are not on the reservation guest count (if you need to modify the reservation let us know) All fireplaces must be turned off before leaving the house Gas on the fire pit and the grill must be turned off when not in use (at both the burner and the gas source for the grill) Little tips and tricks: All of the french doors have a quirk. To lock them you must RAISE the handle and turn the lock. And the right-hand door (as you're walking out) must close first and be locked first. The easiest way is to only use the left-hand door (on the left as you're walking out) The cook top on the main floor is an induction cooktop (you can find explainer videos on youtube if you are unfamiliar)

Accessibility

Neighborhood

We are directly across the street from Notre Dame Campus and 1.5 blocks from the Main Gate entrance. We are 3 blocks from Eddy Street Commons where you can find restaurants, bars, the Notre Dame bookstore outpost and ICE CREAM. Game day traffic can be hectic, which is why it is so nice to park here where you can walk to campus within 5 minutes.

Guest Access

We recently completed construction of this new home for our large family (5 children and 10 grandkids) to get together. We have put love and attention into every detail of the home to make it comfortable for multiple families or groups to have their own spaces, but to be connected in one house with beautiful and comfortable common areas. The main floor includes a music room, dining room, kitchen, and front and back patio, and master suite, sitting room and laundry room. The basement "fan cave" has 2 bedrooms with their own bathroom, sitting area, kitchenette and kids' play nook. There is an external door as well as the stairs up to the main floor. The back yard has a massive deck with outdoor dining room, grill, fire pit, and a large shed set up as a multi-story play house for our grandchildren (and your family) PLEASE NOTE: We have set up the top floor as a separate apartment for when our kids visit. This is accessed separately and there are not shared spaces, but this may be rented or occupied by us during your stay.

A beautiful home in the perfect location for a weekend at Notre Dame University! Our family enjoyed our stay in this brand-new home for our visit to campus for a ND football game. It is right across the street from campus, and we loved being about to walk everywhere we needed to go. Lesley was a wonderful host and was highly responsive providing all the details we needed before, during and after the stay. The home has a great kitchen with everything we needed for cooking meals, and cozy spots to relax and come together both indoors and outside along with comfortable bedding and modern bathrooms. We would stay again when we visit campus!

Find us

We have a private driveway directly in front of the house. There is room for 5 cars total, but 2 of the spaces are reserved for the upstairs apartment that we built for our children. The upstairs unit may be rented, and is totally separate from your listing, but they share the same driveway.
