⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'VE GOT TAILGATE SUPPLIES!!!

South Bend, IN

  • 10 People
  • 3 Bedrooms
  • 2.5 Bathrooms
  • 1.67 miles Driving distance to event

MY HOME IS A 30 MINUTE WALK TO CAMPUS. Edison Rd is less than .5 mile away and that's where the festivities begin.


The house is located in a tranquil and safe cul-de-sac that is brimming with Irish spirit (but welcomes fans of all stripes!). The space lends itself to groups large and small.


This recently updated ranch is a great place for friends and family to come together. I can guarantee you a spotless and clutter free space with super thick towels, quality linens, all toiletries and plenty of water pressure. Personal items are put away for the season, with the exception of clothing in the master closet.
Enjoy streaming your favorite shows on a 60" Smart TV in the family room or living room. Spending time in the large private back yard, whether for morning coffee, grilling or a fire in the fire bowl will transport you to a unique universe that only includes you and your guests (and maybe the Notre Dame band). The best of both worlds happens here!

Tailgating? Borrow up to 3 coolers, 10' tailgate canopy, small charcoal grill, 14 chairs and 2 tables.


Check-in as early as 8:00 AM, and check-out as late as 7:00 PM. Need an extra night? Let's talk about it. I'm happy to consider any special requests.

This is a lovely and very clean home. Eight of us were very comfortable. We were able to relax and enjoy a great Notre Dame weekend.

We stayed for the Stanford game. The owner of the home is wonderful. They kept an open line of communication. Everything and anything you need for a great weekend was available. The location is phenomenal. House supplied all necessary amenities. All stores and/ or additional supplies were literally right around the corner. An easy walk to campus. This will be the only place we stay when going to ND events. Thank you so much. 5 Star's

We stayed at this house for the Billy Joel concert on June 25. It was a lovely home with a beautiful yard. It was spacious, and it had two and a half baths. The owner was very helpful, and accommodated us with a late checkout on Sunday. The location was great, close to campus and Martin’s and Eddy Street. We would definitely stay here another time!

We had a wonderful weekend renting Cathi Voordi’s House (We have Tailgating supplies!). The house was clean, and comfortable and it was so easy to get to campus and the football game on Saturday. She also generously left us water and necklaces and stickers to wear at the game. Cathi made the entire experience so easy and we would most definitely rent from her again! Thank you!!

Cathi's home was very spacious and had everything we needed to have a memorable family weekend! It didn't hurt that ND won either.

This is a great house - easy getting to campus, and it's clean and nice and well kept, and the owner was very accommodating. 3 bedrooms and plenty of space for air mattresses. I'd definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed a lovely weekend at Cathi's house for the 2016 Stanford game despite the outcome of the game. :(. The house was equipped with everything needed for tailgating, was immaculately clean and well equipped. We hosted a party for family and friends Friday night and there was plenty of room for everyone to relax and socialize. So close to campus and the wonderful Martin's market. Cathi's carrot cake was enjoyed by many ND students. We'd definitely rent this house again!

Our family really enjoyed our time in Cathi's home (in spite of a disappointing ND loss....) Some of the highlights were: The tailgate gear. Plenty of chairs, tables, coolers and a huge pop up tent was the perfect set up for people like us who flew in from our of town for the weekend The house was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Cathi left us her "good luck carrot cake" which was amazing!! Outside patio and grill set up were used and appreciated as well We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning for another ND football weekend.

Great house. Close to campus and plenty of room. Very clean and lots of room for sleeping and air mattresses, etc. Our group would definitely rent this house again.

This was our 2nd year in a row renting this home. We had 5 adults and 2 kids and were very comfortable. Great house, great amenities, and gracious and responsive host. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. Living areas are big and great for TV watching. Quiet and very accessible neighborhood, convenient to restaurants and shopping. The "shortcut" referenced in other comments is roped off (with good reason as it cuts through someone's yard), but without it, the walk is still quite doable (1 mile to campus, 1.5 miles to the stadium) -- not bad, especially if there are no snow drifts on the ground. Would highly recommend this place for families.

I highly recommend this house and working with this owner. She is wonderful to work with, very accommodating and helpful. The neighborhood was exactly as she describes - Safe, clean, and filled with ND fans. We rented the home for the North Carolina vs ND game. We had 5 adults and 5 children and it was perfect. Plenty of beds and air mattresses, two large screen TV’s and every amenity we could need.. The owner let us use her coolers for tailgating, and left cold bottled water in the refrigerator. We will definitely rent this house again (if it is available!!).

Perfect home & perfect location. Fantastic owner who made us feel right at home as soon as we walked in the door. Highly recommended and would book this for sure if I were to visit ND again!

Perfect house, great location, gracious owner! We highly recommend this property, and it will definitely be our first choice for future visits to ND.

The home was great. Close to everything, very clean and was comfortable for all 8 of us. We would recommend this property and if we make another trip back would certainly look to rent this property again.

The house and neighborhood are very nice. The owner was kind enough to leave cold drinks in the garage refrigerator and plenty of air mattresses and toiletries in the hall closet. The house comfortably slept 10 people but would likely get crowded with more than 12. There is a cut thru at the end of the culdesac that makes for a much shorter walk to the stadium than google maps shows.Overall, the home, neighbors, and owner were great!

Great Home. Great Time. Only suggestion would be to have a cooler or two on hand for tailgaters.
