Great Clean place to stay in South Bend
Great house to stay in while visiting South Bend. Beds/linens extremely clean, house overall is very clean and comfortably fits a large family/group of friends. Convenient to all stores and to Notre Dame campus -a short walk or a quick car ride. We highly recommend this property and would consider renting again on our next visit.

Weekend getaway
From the beginning, instructions and information about the house were easy to find and navigate including the hot tub, grill and movie theater. We had a great experience. Would highly recommend to a friend.

Lack of details
We arrived on a Friday and the cleaning lady was still there at 3:30 which for us was good because she explained how the front door lock worked. Handles on most of the outside doors were very lose and one even fell off , my husband fixed it . Other doors inside were very lose and didn't lock if there was a lock. Very disappointed with the bathroom situation , I knew there were only 2 but none in the basement where there were so many sleeping areas. Kitchen was overall needing help ,cabinet doors ready to fall off , sink not scrubbed ( use some Bar Keepers Friend powder it would work. Laundry room had piles of dirty sheets and towels and towels in dryer , wet sheets in washer , I would have liked to do a load of laundry but not going to touch what was there. It was lucky for us we only slept there and the beds were fine , we had breakfast and were gone for the day to family activities. In my opinion you needs to have a handy man come and fix all the wear and tear this house has seen. Also the TV upstairs wouldn't work , we could turn it on on the side of it but had no ability to change channels or volume......Please make a manual for all items that guests would need to know how to work. We had young adults that are very tech savvy and they were stumped, we tried changing battries etc.

Great house for a mom/daughter ND weekend
It was perfect to have 6 moms stay and for our mother daughter weekend. It was a great location close to campus so our girls could come hang out during the day and for dinner. The hot tub was huge and a huge hit. The outdoor grill worked great for preparing dinner. Plenty of space to socialize. Outdoor fire pit and large yard were both also terrific.

Winter Family Getaway
Do not overlook this VRBO for your next stay in South Bend. The most comfortable, warm, accommodating, communicative, organized, and well stocked home we have ever stayed. As a mum of 3 adult boys, we all had plenty of things to do even while being snowed in. It was convenient as well to only be a hour and a half away from Chicago O’Hare Airport as our Airman was to fly back to the UK the day we checked out. Thankful and grateful for the time and memories made at The Rockne House!

Quick Getaway
A few families with young kids went here as a quick getaway. Close to Notre Dame campus and downtown Mishawaka for family-friendly activities. Would be a great place to stay for an Irish football game!

Great Getaway for Friends
We loved our time at the Rockne house! It was the perfect place to spend time with friends and had a bunch of fun games and activities to keep us busy even in the winter. The Movie Room was by far the highlight of the house! Would reccomend.

Great week at Notre Dame Game
My family had a great stay at the Rochne house and I would recommend it to everyone. The property was very clean, nicely maintained and super well equipped for a family. The basement is perfect with a large area for games that has lots of fun things. The movie room is great and the projector is easy to use. Matt even leaves snacks and drinks right in the room. It took me a minute but I realized that every couch could convert to a bed so there must be places for 20 people to sleep it seemed. (If there was a good problem it was that it was hard to get the kids to leave the house because there were so many fun things to do.) The back yard is also perfect for a family. The hot tub was actually hot and very big. The grill area was large and roomy. The fire pit is huge and has endless amount of wood. The back yard has a street behind it but it is not that busy and it is far enough away not to bother anyone. My experience with how close it is to the campus is mixed. The description in the write up is accurate and it is walking distance for adults. We decided to taxi the children expect for game day. We chose to get a tailgating spot for the game but that was just as much for the experience as it was due to the walking distance. Finally, Matt couldn’t have been nicer. He was very responsive and available if we had any problems. In the end we didn’t really need anything but it was nice to know he was ready to help out. Great place to get the full ND experience.
