Great location and even better house

My family stayed here for our trip to the Notre Dame Stanford game. It was a great location. It is about 20 minutes away from the blue lot, even with game day traffic. As for the house itself, it is wonderful. It has every amenity you could need. The property is great as well. It sits right on the lake and has several activities, kayaks, paddle boards, etc for use. However, it was to chilly too use them this trip, but it just made us want to come back for a early season game and stay here again. Lastly, communication with the owners is flawless. They are super nice but also not overbearing. I've had owners text or message the whole trip. Not these guys and I like that. They're responsive with any questions and check-in a breeze. This was one of my favorite VRBO experience. Highly recommend.

Family Getaway

This is our second time staying at Edgewater and our stay was amazing yet again! We were there with ages 2 through 74 - perfect lake house for kids of all ages. The sandy, walkout beach (no seaweed in the swimming area!!) was where we spent the majority of our time and is a rare feature with lake houses. The lake was also great for paddle boarding and kayaking. The home was clean and very comfortable. Highly recommend!

A great place

We absolutely enjoyed our stay in this wonderful house! Very clean, very well organized, great amenities - but most of all, great hosts! You can see the effort and soul they put into making guests comfortable. A million of nice small touches - spices, coffee and sugar to use, dishwasher detergent, spare charges and cables for different types of phones, meticulous labels on drawers, a heart-warming handwritten welcome note... Great place, great hosts, great location (and great friendly neighbors, too). 10/10, no notes, would come back again.

Wonderful Stay- Wonderful House

Had a wonderful experience from before arriving until departure. The house was perfectly clean, one of the cleanest rentals we’ve had. Amenities and small touches were wonderful. From the extra chargers and charging blocks to the kayaks and life jackets, we had everything we needed. Had a couple questions throughout our stay and they were so helpful every time. Everyone had a blast in the lake, fishing, swimming, kayaking and hanging out. Neighbors were wonderful as well. Even lent us a hose for a slip and slide for the kids. No complaints. Would absolutely recommend and would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks for the memorable weekend!

ND Football Weekend Guys Trip

Our stay at Edgewater was great! Very clean property and beautiful views and scenery with the lake. Wish the TV Cable arrangements had more of the stations that cover live sports but we improvised. Could have used a few more frying pans in kitchen but was able to buy two at local Dollar General store. Grill worked well. Overall a great and comfortable stay at a beautiful property that is great for a football weekend.

Perfect for a summer family reunion

Great overall place! Plenty of space for the whole family, and great creature comforts like games, water toys, and cellphone chargers :) (Just a little bummed we couldn't bring our family dog, and the early 10am check out can be a bit difficult with a family of 8) But great spot to spend glorious summer days on the lake! Thanks again!

Family Lake Vaca

We stayed at Edgewater for a family getaway - 8 of us in total ages 7-67. There was something for everyone to enjoy and the house was a great space for us! We really loved kayaking and while we didn’t have great luck fishing, we sure loved trying. It’s rather shallow off the dock which is great for giving the kids room to play in the water but not the best for fishing off the dock. Our fisherman took kayaks out to fish a bit deeper. While in town, we went to a South Bend Cubs game (highly recommend!) and the zoo - both were easy drives and the location was great for access to the activities. The neighbors were so friendly and welcoming as well!

Just absolute perfection for our family.

Our 2 families vacation together every summer and this rental has been our favorite. It was well stocked with everything we needed and more. We usually find ourselves running to the store for extra t.p., paper towels, dish soap, etc but the rental really did have extras of everything. Things that were important to us: The house was incredibly clean. There was room at the dinner table for all 7 of us to eat and play games. Plenty of hot water for showers. Slept 7 of us comfortably with all the kids getting their own bed. Stocked shed full of lake toys was a bonus. View was perfect, sandy bottom swim area was perfect, we just loved everything. Great location to activities, restaurants, and ND campus. Kate was incredibly kind and quick to respond to my texts.

About the host

Hosted by Ronda

Host profile image
We are thrilled with the opportunity to open our Lake House to other families who can use and enjoy Edgewater as much as we do.
When traveling, we almost always stay at VRBOs and have had the most wonderful experiences using them. It was our dream to one day own a lake home and provide an opportunity and experience for other families and guests to cherish and create memories there too.
We found this perfect home, fell in love with everything about it and kept its name, Edgewater! We're confident you'll love it too.

Why they chose this property

We've prepared Edgewater with everything you'll need and a lot of extras too.
From a fully stocked kitchen (even a crockpot) to full laundry and bathroom supplies. An assortment of life jackets, beach toys, floating tubes and even fishing poles. There are Binoculars to bird watch and a telescope for nighttime star gazing. There's a Propane Grill, fire Pit and plenty of outdoor seating too. There's even a giant wooden carving on the property - his name is Captain Ahab!

What makes this property unique

Edgewater is very conveniently located in South Bend, Indiana. It's close to so many attractions and yet removed from the busyness of the city. Provisional shopping options are close by (less than 10 minutes away) and Notre Dame and Down Town S.B. are about a 15-20 minute drive.
