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.

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.

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!
