About this property

1 mile from ND! Beautifully renovated and roomy 4-bed, 3-bath home, wooded lot.

With four bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, this spacious home is perfect for families or small group gatherings. A beautiful brick mid-century ranch, with modern amenities and designer-updated in 2023, the home features two inviting living/dining areas, a large screened-in porch, and an outdoor patio area.

In town for a football game? Just 1.7 miles from Notre Dame Stadium, Tall Oaks Cottage is a quick and easy walk to White Field, for free game-day shuttle service. Centrally located 1.5 miles from St. Joseph River parks and trails, and four miles from downtown South Bend. Abundant dining and entertainment offerings are a few short minutes away at Eddy Street Commons, along Rt 933, and on Main Street in Mishawaka.

Right out the back door, you'll enjoy a relaxing screened-in porch with ample space to enjoy the fresh air and wooded scenery without being exposed to the elements. Step outside to the large, shady yard with plenty of grass for lawn games. On the patio, find a table with chairs and a propane gas grill as well as an adjacent gas firepit and swing.

One of the nicest!

This house was sooooo neat. It was clean, communications were great, and it was in the nicest little neighborhood. We had researched Southbend, and the internet doesn't give it a good rep. We were hesitant about where we would book, and this did not disappoint. It exceeded our expectations. So safe that I ran the neighborhood several mornings. Neighbors were really nice too! It also had everything I needed in the kitchen to be able to prepare breakfast, and prep meals for our day. They obviously had a designer select the decor b/c it was PERFECT for the age of the house. I felt like I was in my Brady Bunch era! haha. Book it! don't wait. When we come back, this will be our "go to".

Superb Accomodation

This rental is spacious and set up perfectly with all amenities to accommodate two families. It is larger than it looks from the street. The screened porch and yard are very peaceful and calming especially when the wind blows through the tall oaks. Thank you! (P.S. My wife used to live next door and knew the family that built the house so it was also nostalgic for her and her sister)

Great Location

This property is well laid out for a larger group giving everyone plenty of space and comfort. The house was clean, well equipt, and Wendy the host was so friendly and accommodating. Also has a close by (1/2) mile walk to shuttle for football games. Would love to stay again with my family!

About the host

Hosted by Wendy and Mike Mospan

Host profile image
We live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago and love to visit South Bend. Two of our three sons attended Notre Dame, and one of them eventually married a woman from South Bend and came to work for the university. They live in the area with their three sons. We've enjoyed many visits here over the years. Now we want to share our love for South Bend with other visitors. We hope our newly remodeled mid-century ranch will become your home away from home.
