Great location in close proximity to campus. Excellent communication throughout booking and stay. Very nice hot tub. Overall very pleased. I would note that the kitchen is not very well stocked with necessities if you're planning on cooking meal(s) in home. Would definitely rent again, however.

Perfect spot to stay
We were in town for a bridal shower I was hosting for family and needed a good space to put stuff together and finalize the food. We had plenty of space, close to out venue and stores we needed. Host was very responsive if we had questions. Front door handle needed fixed as well as a cabinet door but they were aware. I would definitely stay again!

Great home with easy access in South Bend
I stayed hear for nearly 2 weeks when in the South Bend area for work. The property was everything promised, was clean and very nice. All the promised amenities were available and easy to use/find. I didn't use the hot tub, but it was hot and ready. Communication with Todd, the rental manager, was proactive on his part, easy, seamless and pleasant. I can only give a 5-Star recommendation. Home away from home, and near everything in the area!

Christmas in South Bend
We had an amazing time at McKinleys Best! The host was attentive and responsive. He reached out a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. The house was clean and warm. They provided linens, towels for bath and hot tub. Toilet paper, trash bags and paper towels. Wide selection of coffee, as well as some cooking basics. I appreciate these little things as lots of rentals don’t provide them. The rental provided us with a great, fun and safe place to enjoy Christmas with our family! Thank you to the Martin family!

Escape Room Fun!
We (my husband and I) were here for a non football ND event during the week. Property was clean with plenty of room for us. Escape rooms are a hobby of ours and it was a really fun time! Some things are easy, some puzzles challenging. We are experienced but did not fly through the puzzles. A fantastic idea for something to do in "down time". We walked to campus some of the time we were back and forth. Close to everything. An older home but nicely renovated. We were very comfortabpe here. Todd is an excellent host.
