My Fiancé, two of our good friends (not a couple), and myself booked this house for a fun long weekend. We were there to enjoy the Spartan Stadium race at Notre Dame (GO FIGHTING IRISH!). We needed 3 separate beds, plenty of living space, outdoor patio seating area and grill, and a well-equipped kitchen. Eric's house delivered on ALL needs and then some!
PROS:
-ALL Beds were wonderfully comfortable with nice sheets, many different pillows (including round body pillows), and fluffy duvet covers.
-Bathrooms were stocked with anything you might need, and Eric left a basket on each bed with towels and soaps. Insanely hot water and plenty of it!
-Closets were stocked with extra towels, blankets, pillows, etc to suit any need
-Because Eric lives here (when no one is renting it), the house is kept cleaned and stocked with everything you would have in your own home. He even keeps the fridge stocked with everyday items like ketchup, mayo, hot sauce, water, etc and the cabinets stocked with spices and nonstick spray. What a money saver and stress relief to not feel like you have to run and get everything just to make a meal. If you forget something, more than likely he has it. Plenty of spatulas, utensils, plates, bowls, and non-stick cooking pans. Oh, and a beautiful Ninja Coffee maker with frothier and Ninja Blender.
-Front Livingroom has an insanely comfortable couch with soft pillows and throw blankets. We hung out there in the morning while taking turns cooking breakfast and eating at the table. I personally loved that each area could hold 6 adults… both living rooms, patio, sunroom, dining table, etc. We were able to hang out anywhere and not feel like there wasn’t a place to sit.
-Back Livingroom has a comfortable couch, great gas fireplace and view of the beautiful back yard
-Sunroom was lovely and comfortable to sit in with the string lights and fan going.
-Patio with table, Patio chairs, Grill, and Firepit with Adirondack chairs was awesome! The back yard is amazing and beautiful!
-House is in a quiet cul-de-sac and a very safe neighborhood. Only minutes from many stores.
CONS
-None
We have rented several places on VRBO that the owner appeared to have not visited in a long while and it felt neglected and more like a hotel room with just the basic amenities. This is NOT the case with Eric’s home! It was like house sitting for a good friend. Thank you for renting out your home, it was a treat to spend the weekend with friends! 😊
