Family-friendly vacation rentals in South Bend

To begin the host is friendly and ensures you are given as much details as possible to make the trip great. The place was very quiet. We wanted a quiet area that had snow and this fit the bill. The hot tub was wonderful and quite relaxing. It snowed during our stay which made it experience unique, since most of the group is from the South or Southwest. The house has plenty of space for sleeping. We had 8 people in our group and we were comfortable. I plan to come back for my birthday in the summer months.

Was an absolutely relaxing stay. It was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. An extended weekend away with a bunch of things around us to do. It had a little bit of everything around us, including privacy. It was fantastic.

Wonderful cottage in a picturesque part of Union Pier. Will absolutely stay again.

Our stay in Three Oaks at Ivan & Carly's place was great! they knew we were checking in at night, and when we got to the house, there were lights on, which I thought was a very nice (and helpful!) touch. The instructions to get in the house were clear, and the house was lovely. They knew we were bringing out kids, and had snacks out for them and even a bottle of wine for us! I wish we had been able to stay longer, because the house was very cozy and the location was great! We went to Oaks Eatery for breakfast, and it was the best breakfast we have had in a long time. We would definitely stay at this house again! Ivan & Carly were very communicative, and had we needed anything, I know they would have been responsive. Great stay!

Jen was so sweet, messaged back right away and gave us a list of things to do while we were there on a mini vacation visiting family. Hot tub and deck so clean, amazing and private Thank you and Happy holidays.

Fantastic location right on a dunes trail! Super awesome

My fiancé and I visited Donna’s place over a summer weekend, and we had the most amazing time. Donna’s house is so beautiful and welcoming - we felt at home. Her place was clean and is filled with the most thoughtful decor. It has everything anyone needs for a peaceful, relaxing stay. She was responsive right from the day of booking to our final day and even stopped by to meet us in person. We look forward to staying at her house again soon!

We loved staying here! The location was perfect for walking around New Buffalo. We enjoyed relaxing inside as well as outside. Totally cozy! Having the fire pit and hot tub were great perks! We highly recommend Deb's Place and would stay here again.

Very clean and well-maintained. Plenty of towels, pillows, supplies, etc. were provided. It was so nice to have a washer, dryer, and dishwasher. There was a book on the desk which the Host put together sharing nearby attractions, breakfast & dining options, wineries, etc., which was so helpful. We enjoyed the screened-in back porch, deck and great backyard. The kitchen and bathroom cabinets provided all the amenities we needed without having to run to the store for things. We loved the close proximity to the beach, restaurants, grocery store and unique local shopping. Great communication from the Host who was very helpful and welcoming. We would love to come back again and next time make use of the backyard grill and firepit!

Great place to stay. About an 8 minute drive to Notre Dame University.

We had a great time at Candi’s cabin. Everything was very nice and clean. The fire pit was perfect for s’mores and we particularly enjoyed the screen porch.

What a wonderfully peaceful place to visit. Had absolutely everything we needed and then some. Kitchen was fully supplied. I love to cook, so we made every meal. Plenty of blankets to be warm and comfy along with a nice space heater. A nicely set up fire pit and chairs with plenty of firewood and hot cocoa to go with it. We visited Shipshewana, only about 30 minutes away. We will definitely stay here in the future for a nice peaceful getaway! ❤️

Perfect location for me, having grown up in Syracuse, it was a great jumping off point for re-exploring the area and visiting old friends!

Excellent house in great location. We could see the Notre Dame Stadium from the windows! Great for a large family or large friend group gathering. Back yard and fire pit were a plus. Highly recommend

Pam and Kevin were awesome hosts. They made us feel very welcome as we were coming and going quite often. Breakfast was outstanding!!

Great place. Listing says 10 minute walk to campus…yes true but that is to the far corner where the softball field is. A walk to the stadium would be 30+, however on a game day weekend that would still be a great location to walk. Clean home in a good neighborhood.

Refreshing! Our stay was just what we needed. Clean, comfortable and well laid out. The communication was excellent and the customer service was attentive.

I recently stayed at this charming 3-bedroom cabin with a loft, and it was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the coziest vibes. The cabin is beautifully decorated, blending rustic charm with modern touches, making it feel like a home away from home. The spacious open living area was perfect for the 6 of us. Each of the three bedrooms was incredibly comfortable, with soft bedding and plenty of natural light. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials. Overall, this cabin exceeded all of our expectations. Kevin and Vicky were very responsive and kind. Will definately book with them again if in the area. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay! The space was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with thoughtful extras that made traveling even easier. The host was incredibly friendly and communicative, ensuring we had everything we needed. One of the highlights was the fenced-in yard, which was perfect for our dog. We truly appreciated all the little details that made this stay comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Our stay was great! Any questions we had were quickly answered and concerns taken care of immediately! Thank you so much! Your place is an absolute gem. Our daughter’s wedding weekend was a dream come true at Journeyman’s- and having a seamless stay at Ashmoor only made the weekend even better! You are wonderful hosts, thank you again!

Perfect house for a game day weekend! 20-minute walk to campus, parking available, and all the family friendly amenities for a relaxing game weekend!!

A fun and eclectic lake house! House is great, with plenty of room, and great amenities like the fire pit and balconies for every bedroom. The private access beach is beautiful and the sand is way better than the New Buffalo public beach! Would highly recommend!

Jacqueline was very helpful and descriptive about everything regarding our visit. Her home felt very peaceful and is a great choice if a lake is what you are looking for. Will likely stay here again.

Enjoyed a brief stay while visiting with family in the area. Comfortable home. Nice large front porch.
