Newly renovated home less than a mile from the University of Notre Dame

Nestled in a quiet secluded subdivision, the “Ponader House” sits on a large lot perfect for pre-game activities, BBQs, or relaxing by the fire pit. Less than a mile from Notre Dame and Warren Golf Course, and just over a mile from restaurants and shopping. Four-bedroom home sleeps 8 comfortably. Large fully stocked kitchen. First floor laundry. Spacious family room with ample seating for watching the big game on a 55-inch tv. Dining room has a large table for group gatherings and games. Open window sun porch makes for a quiet place to retreat with a glass of wine or a good book. Large driveway for parking. The proximity to the University makes it a perfect place for going to the game, campus visits, or visiting professors.

Excellent location! Charming residence. Very accommodating in all ways. The deer in the yard made it all feel so calm. Highly recommended!! If VRBO allowed for more stars in the ratings, they would all be tens … in Gold and Blue! 👍

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!

Spring Football Game Getaway Weekend
My family and I really enjoyed our stay here! The house is so nice, and it is very clean. We loved the decor and all of the "extras" this house offers. The welcome basket was a great touch, and the binder of information that listed popular restaurants in the area was appreciated. The beds are extremely comfortable. Overall, the house is very welcoming. If we are ever back in the area for another game, we will definitely try to book this property again!

ND Grad Weekend
We stayed at Ponader for ND Graduation Weekend and it was just perfect! It is close to campus and has plenty of comfortable space for the family to gather. The house is super charming, cozy, very well maintained and clean. It is, also, very well equipped. Lisa responds quickly and is always ready to help. We really appreciated the welcome basket which included goodies for our grad. We would definitely go back!

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.

Delightful, Charming Home!
My daughter, who used to live in South Bend, said this is the nicest home she’s ever seen in the area. It was very clean, the furnishings are lovely, and the beds were extremely comfortable and cozy! The owners left enough of the original cabinetry and touches to honor the house’s origins, while also updating and freshening in a more modern way. The decor felt very warm and positive. The welcome basket with chocolate, gourmet popcorn and beers was a wonderful touch. We loved staying in Ponader House, and will certainly be back!

ND summer school
We stayed at this beautiful home while our daughter's attended a summer conference at Notre Dame. The house is beautiful, cozy and very clean. The bedrooms are very comfortable. The home is located on a very quiet street and is close to Notre Dame, great restaurants and shopping. Best of all were Mike and Lisa who communicated with us along the way with advice on things to do to weather alerts as summer storms were approaching. We loved the home, the area and were so impressed with the care Mike and Lisa took to making our stay a great one. Would recommend a stay at this wonderful home. We can only imagine how enjoyable a stay here would be during football season given it proximity to Notre Dame.

Lovely home
What a lovely home this is. There was plenty of space, the amenities were perfect, the decor was nice and it was very cozy. We dis have a problem with the water not having enough pressure but once I contacted the owner, there was a plumber there ASAP. The issue was quickly resolved. This made me feel very good and confident with the owner's response time. A little joy that we found each day was in the deer visiting the backyard...super cute! I would definitely rent this place again!
