Beautiful and charming, private cottage next to the woods but very convenient to South Bend. Check-in was a breeze, the owners were extremely responsive any time I had questions. Upon arrival, I was greeted by fresh flowers and a plate of delicious, individually-wrapped cookies and brownies. Charming, well-chosen decor, and all of the amenities I needed to cook meals when I wasn't dining out with family. The cottage is a fair distance away from the host's house, and from another cottage on the property, so it's nicely private. It's near the garage and driveway, so unloading from parking in the driveway is quick and convenient. Everything was spotlessly clean and charming - a beautiful refuge. WiFi was fast and flawless. Faith and Joe are excellent hosts, and this beautiful cottage was exactly the refuge I needed while in the area to visit family!

A lovely little cottage that is well-maintained and accentuated with small personal touches like fresh flowers, cookies, and bottles of water. The bed was quite comfy. Fair warning: if you're on the taller/broader side (I'm 6'4, 250lbs), make sure you keep your head and shoulders tucked in while moving around at first. Took a few knocks here and there being careless, but that is no fault of the property or its owners! 10/10 would stay again!

The cottage was exactly as advertised. Very clean and comfortable. The hosts were very pleasant. This location was perfect for my trip. I was there for 3 weeks and would absolutely stay there again. Thank you for the baked goods.

My husband and I had a very relaxing time at this historical cabin. It was perfect for what we needed and we slept really good. There was an issue with the shower head and when letting them know, they were right on it and the issue was resolved. We will come back the next time we visit family. I would highly recommend this place to stay.

Very nice stay. Very small but cozy. It had personal touches from the owners. Enjoyed the deer coming up and eating apples from the tree. Houses were nearby but you didn't really notice when you were inside. Landscape was adorable. We enjoyed our stay very much.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at this cottage! We were greeted with some delicious sugar cookies (wife wants the recipe!) and fresh flowers upon check-in. We had a great time enjoying our morning coffee on the patio out back. It was very quiet and peaceful, so we slept great, too! The place is well-maintained and just the right size for a couple coming into town for a college football game :)
