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.

Baseball Tournament
Great location as it was close to Notre Dame where our grandson played in a baseball tournament. Also close to grocery store as well as restaurants. Kids played some of the board games We cooked out and played cornhole as well. Lisa responded to my question quickly.

Lovely well cared for property
My husband and I enjoyed staying in your home with his brothers and their wives for his 90th birthday which we celebrated in nearby Mishawaka with children, great grandchildren, cousins, nieces, nephews and a great grandson. The house was perfect for us and well supplied. We loved the different spaces, both indoor and outdoor porches and the neighborhood for walking. Thank you, Lisa and Mike!

Family Christmas 2023
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.

Last-minute trip for swim meet
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!

The best place we have staying since coming to Notre Dame for 56 years.
The house is charming and inviting. We were busy all week but wish we had more time to enjoy all the wonderful things about this house. We did enjoy a little time on the sun porch. It was super clean and had everything we needed to make an enjoyable week in South Bend. Lisa was fantastic and took care of all needs. Quick communication with her. We all loved it.

Family Memories
My sister, my dad and myself rented this beautiful home to spend a few days with family who live nearby. Upon arrival, we instantly felt at home and knew we had made the right choice. The house was not only immaculate and charming but had everything we needed to prepare family meals together. The spacious dining room allowed us to be together to eat and to share laughs. We also enjoyed sitting in the beautiful sun room which was the perfect size for our group. Not only did we enjoy the inside of the home, but the peaceful setting included watching a family of deer, rabbits, and other small wildlife in the backyard. The memories that were made in this home will last a lifetime. Thank you for sharing it with us. We will definitely be back!
