Another local attraction that is a lot of fun for families is Fernwood Botanical Garden. The Potawatomi Zoo in South Bend along with a visit to the Notre Dame campus are also popular attractions.

Very very comfortable!
The hostess, Wendy, was extremely accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed, and she was easy to communicate with. A blizzard and extreme cold came during our stay for Christmas, and she made sure the walks and driveway were plowed each morning so we could get out to be with our family. She even had a whole house generator installed right before our arrival in case there was a power outage! Wendy went above and beyond to make sure we were safe and happy. Even our two little poodles loved it there. We would not hesitate to book her property again and that’s because she is a great hostess! Thank you for making sure we had one of the best family Christmas vacations ever Wendy! Happy New Year!

Lovely Farmhouse Atmosphere
We took a step back in time when we walked into The Farmhouse. Our dogs loved being part of a little farm with the miniature horses and cats. We told our family in Michigan and Indiana that they need to stay at the Farmhouse. It's relaxing and the deck is amazing. It's secluded, yet close enough to South Bend to enjoy the town.

Peaceful escape from the city
Wendy's Farmhouse was the perfect place for me and my husband to escape the city for a week. After a challenging year, it was wonderful to completely unplug, enjoy the trees and green grass with our dogs, and meet some very sweet ponies and horses. It was exactly as advertised and felt like a warm hug from family members I did not know I had. We look forward to visiting again.

Very pleasant farm just as advertised
This was a neat and tidy farmhouse just as advertised. Everything worked well and the house was neat and clean. The horses and ponies were present as were three cats. It is very convenient to South Bend as well as southern Michigan. In our opinion, it is best for small groups (4 or less) because there is one bathroom. We would definitely stay again.

We were visiting our relatives on Eagle lake so spent much time with them but Wendy was great about
Everything was great! The heat outside was uncomfortable but the air conditioning in the house was a wonderful rest after the lake time. We cooked for the lake crew Friday night and found everything we needed. The Farmhouses is well supplied; our biggest problem was keeping our stuff separate from the decorations and stuff of the house!! Just kidding; we loved the farm details and the horses were a hit! Hope to return!

Relaxing vacation
It was great! Quiet, restful, and beautiful. The home was an old farm house, full of charm and memories. The small horses, cats wondering around, barns and pastures all added to the beauty of the stay. Flowers bloomed, fresh mowed grass and giant old trees graced the yard. We will return!
