About this apartment rental

The Portage Lion sits on 4 beautifully landscaped acres that was formerly part of a nursery. We're just 15 minutes from the University of Notre Dame and downtown South Bend and 30 minutes to Lake Michigan beaches. This renovated 750 square foot studio apartment sleeps two, is air-conditioned and includes a full kitchen, dining room, living room, and sleeping area with 1 bath. Wifi, Roku enabled TV, hairdryer, kitchenware, toaster and coffee maker are provided with rental. We have lovely mature flora, very large trees, a grotto and architectural hardscape features. Inquire about using the large blue-stone patio at the main house. Wander around and look at the features and check out our large vegetable garden! A very park-like feel. Other outside amenities include parking, swing set, and open spaces to play football, soccer, or just run around. For an additional fee this large apartment can accommodate 1-2 more on a sofa and/or owner supplied elevated full size air mattress.

Owners are on premises in a separate building and are happy to greet you along with their very friendly dog, Poppy.

I had a wonderful stay. The hosts were very thoughtful - even having yogurt, bagels, cream cheese, and jam in the fridge waiting for me. The property is beautiful and very peaceful. A+ trip.

I was traveling solo for a bridal shower and was fortunate enough to find The Studio available. The space is quite large and felt very private yet it is situated close enough to the hosts that I felt quite safe. The gardens are lovely, the bed was super-comfortable and the hosts, Suzanne and Tim, could not be any more friendly! They also provide coffee and a continental breakfast! I will most definitely be back!

Owners are on site and easy to communicate with. All instructions were posted on the fridge. Everything worked well and the home was comfortable. Beautiful property; we walked the property one morning and looked at the gardens. Kitchen was well stocked and the continental breakfast was a sweet touch!

All that was advertised and more. A great rest at night after a very busy day. Will be booking the Portage Lion again....

My husband and I decided last minute to catch a Notre Dame Women’s Basketball game and see our daughter play in the pep band. This was the perfect place to stay. It had everything we needed for our short stay and was within an easy drive to campus. We’d definitely stay here again.

The property is beautiful, it is on a nice quiet road. The directions to get in are perfect from the owners. Lots of amenities within the unit for the studio. Fascinating old buildings to gander at on the property too if you like architecture and history. Complementary little breakfast was very sweet and helpful to get us going. Thank you!
