About this property
Beautiful Waterfront Home on Baugo Bay
Beautiful River 3-4 bedroom house over looking Baugo Bay on the St Joesph river, only 10 miles from Notre Dame Campus. Takes 18 minutes to get there, we worked there 10 years! It really doesn't get any better than this, the breath taking view is amazing from inside the house or outside on one of the 5 decks. There are places to sleep everywhere and plenty of full bathrooms. The house also is handicap accessible. If you want to play, you can swim right off the pier or relax in the hot tub. We also have games, Pool table, corn hole, darts, Wii, X-box, and there are TV's everywhere. Equipped for more fun than you will have time to enjoy and built for comfort when you just can't play anymore.

Check in was easy and straightforward. Owner was communicative and friendly.
10/10 would stay again.
It’s an easy drive into South Bend if you’re in town for a ND game.
Lots of space for everyone to hang out! Beautiful open lake in the back. Comfy and cozy inside with nice bathrooms and lots of options for sleeping. Nice location and not far from some nice quick food options. Would stay again!
Stayed for a Notre Dame football game. Very close to campus. Very cool spot! Would definitely stay at this location again! Owner of the property was extremely friendly.

Beautiful Views
The views from the decks are beautiful. The house does sleep 10 but there are not 4 bedrooms; really only 2. We ended up renting a boat on a different lake because the St Joseph River is not good for a novice boat driver, plus the boat at the house was not operating. Hot tub was great but there is no fire pit. All in all we had a nice peaceful time with family and enjoyed the sunset.
This was a perfect place to celebrate my birthday with friends! The backyard offered spectacular views, great swimming, and good times by all of us! Will keep in mind for the future.
9 adults gathering for a football game at Notre Dame. Enough beds, bedding and towels for all. It was very comfortable for everyone when we were relaxing, drinking and eating after the game. Great communication with Gregg made check in and out a breeze. I would definitely stay here again.
Gregg’s place was so comfortable and homey and peaceful for a get together of sisters and friends to celebrate my sister who is getting married this month. We had several people coming from different directions, and there was plenty of parking space. The view from the decks was one of our favorite parts, but the hot tub, ample outdoor spaces and seating, comfy living room, comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen were very appreciated and enjoyed as well. Everything was set up and ready for our arrival, with plenty of towels, extra blankets and even fans for the bedrooms. This place did not disappoint!!
We rented Gregg’s spot for a 30th birthday party and had an awesome time. Gregg was very responsive and communicative host, and the space was more than enough for 10 sleeping over and up to 14 coming over during the day. The varied levels of rooms and decks provided lots of different environments for people to hang out in. It was a very food heavy weekend, so the propane and grill were lifesavers, although we did have some issues with the oven so keep that in mind. It was also helpful that we brought blow up mattresses as there were 4 beds and the rest of the sleeping area were couches. Overall a ton to do and a perfect weekend!
Gregg, the property owner was super friendly and very easy to work with! Property was expected as listed! There were 7 of us and there was plenty of beds and sleeping options available-he even set out an extra air mattress which did help! Beds were super comfortable.
View was beautiful. Home had what we needed for our stay. We griled one night. Went out one night. Went to local winery. Relaxed in hot tub. Fished and overall enjoyed the entire home. Shopping close by and neighbors were super friendly as well! Would definitely recommend this home!
One of the things to consider is that although this listing states 2 queen beds, that may not necessarily be true. One of the queen beds was locked in a room, and the renter stated we weren’t allowed to use it. Instead we had one queen bed in a room, the two twin beds, the full futon, and one air mattress. This made it difficult for us to coordinate sleeping as we had 10 people which this listing states we can accommodate, but only if some people sleep on the couch. Additionally, we were there for the weekend and brought a lot of food. The renter had his fridge half full with food already making it difficult to place what we brought. We made it work. But it would be better if he had a separate fridge where he places his belongings when guests are there. We couldn’t find the garbage can in the beginning, but after messaging him he quickly told us where it was. He was very responsive. Otherwise, the place was very clean, and was stocked with dinner plates and utensils. The sunsets were beautiful and they had a great patio that had gorgeous flowers.
Great place to stay for big groups/family. Plenty of room for everyone to stay. Excellent out door deck with many levels. Owner was very accommodating.
We had a wonderful time staying at the River House. The location is just beautiful, and the house had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. The owner was very easy to work with.
The place was great and had a lot of room for all our friends! It is a great place to relax and hang out with friends. There is so many things to do at this property.
We were looking for a waterfront property anywhere. We then found this gem. It is homey and clean. The views are awesome. It is on Baugo Bay on the St Joesph river, because you are in a bay you feel like you are on a lake, bonus! Minimal current, you can safely swim/jump off the dock. So fun! Greg, owner, provides flotation devices you can tie to the dock, allowing you to float and enjoy the wake from boats going by. Noted many pontoons in the area. There are multiple riverfront balconies in this house, with the BEST VIEWS! Can I mention the views again, lol. Host provides everything you need and is readily available if you need him. Neighborhood is quiet. You can find essentials in the area nearby, like grocery stores, coffee shops and restaurants. There is a nearby state park and about 15-20 minutes from the Campus of Notre Dame. Do not hesitate to rent this gem. Will definitely rent again. Thanks Greg for your great hospitality!
Surprised my husband for his 33rd birthday and booked this place for him & our friends :-) the House was beautiful- much nicer than the pictures! Loved all the outdoor space, breakfast looking out over the water. We ended up renting kayaks and canoes from the state park and we’re able to paddle to the house, have lunch & drinks then paddle back! Thanks for a perfect summer weekend!
I enjoyed our stay. The host was amazing at communicating and often went above and beyond. Place was clean and prepped for our group when we walked in on a hot summer day. If you like sunsets, relaxing on the deck/patio, and a good pool table, this is a good spot for you.
Relaxing and spending time was our ultimate goal. The scenery was amazing. Would definitely recommend this place. We would rent this home again. We had everything we needed.

Great home base for Graduation weekend
Our whole family - ranging in age from 4 - 89 came out to celebrate our son’s graduation from Notre Dame. We like to cook and spend time together so this worked well- close enough to enjoy the festivities on campus yet also seemed like vacation on the river. Our only challenge was finding enough outlets to charge everyone’s devices.... but easily solved with a usb hub.

About the host
Hosted by Gregg Longacre
I bought all brick home with oak floors on the river when my wife worked at Notre Dame, and fell in love with the water, and the peace it brings, as well as the fun. So I continued to upgrade the house and different ways to enjoy the property inside and out. My family's has every gathering here, Christmas, reunions and all holidays here. The house is so comfortable and so many things to do. Just wonderful!!!!
Why they chose this property
This is the perfect house for family get togethers, its always the our large family gets together for reunions, and celebrations, at a reasonable price. The large body of water is breathtaking. Just beautiful !!!!
What makes this property unique
The view of the sunset over the water in the backyard is breathtaking and can be seen from all most all the rooms in the house. So many games to play inside and out. Or just the perfect place to relax. The sun sets in the backyard over Baugo Bay.
