Family-friendly holiday rentals in South Bend

Wonderful cottage in a picturesque part of Union Pier. Will absolutely stay again.

We made a last minute booking and the host was very responsive. The house was great had everything we needed and we had an amazing time.

Such a fun weekend! Location to beach and other fun activities was fantastic! Very cute cottage with all the amenities we needed. Thanks, Jennifer!!

This is the second year I rented this place for my birthday weekend away with friends. The house has so many accommodations for sleeping and different sitting areas. However, the main event is the kitchen. My friends and I love to cook and that's why we came back a second year in a row. The kitchen is unbelievably well-stocked with anything you might need to cook. There are multiple sinks so someone can be cooking while someone else cleans. The layout is perfect for people to hang out with whoever is cooking. There are two ovens. It is a dream. The house feels comfortable and lived-in, and it feels like there has been a lot of thought and intention focused on the user-experience. Cannot say enough nice stuff about this house, cannot recommend enough. Will be coming back for my 29 birthday.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Patti’s place. This was one of the cleanest AirBnBs we have ever been to. We really enjoyed the open concept living space, thoughtfully put together and decorated. Great open space for kitchen, living and dining all together. It was very cozy and comfortable. Would highly recommend this lovely place. Thank you again, Patti!

This was a very nice home for our large family of eight adults and nine children for a four night stay. A five minute drive to Weko beach, a beautiful sandy beach on Lake Michigan. We enjoyed visiting the farmer's market, one mile down the road on Sunday, open from 9 a.m.-early afternoon. Mikey's drive-in, serving burgers, fries, ice cream, etc., is directly across the road from the property. The very large back yard with hot tub and fire pit was a bonus. On the couple of occasions that I emailed Rebecca with a question or comment during our stay, she was very promptly responsive. Our family would stay at this property again.

Very peaceful to stay put here--bring what you need and stay in these beautiful surroundings among birds and gardens and an art-filled home. Or spend time on nearby beaches and trails, wander the nearby small-town shops and nice variety of restaurants and look forward to a hot tub soak and campfire. Donna's home is welcoming and inspiring!

Had a fabulous stay in Niles, MI! The property had everything we needed for a smooth run and extremely fun weekend getaway. Everything was exactly how it looked and was described when booking the property. Super easy, friendly, and timely communication, with all questions answered and needs addressed. Would definitely go back or recommend to family and friends!

We love staying at Brian & Melissa’s place! It is well located, spacious, stylish and clean. We enjoy a beautiful day on the beach and some great wine and food.

We had a last minute stay for one night in this cozy little log cabin and had a great experience. The space was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Perfect for a quiet, short getaway. The host was responsive and check-in was smooth. Would definitely recommend for solo travelers or couples looking for a peaceful stay!! Our puppies loved it too!!

Absolutely recommend this place! It is warm and cozy, with a massive backyard which was great for our dogs to play in and for us to relax in! It feels very private and has such a unique vibe! Ann was amazing, she was kind, friendly, and gave incredible recommendations! Mason Jar Cafe is a MUST! Highly recommend and hope to return soon!

We loved Michael's cottage. It was perfect for our Lake Michigan getaway. An easy ride into town or to Grand Mere State Park; and a peaceful, well-tended landing spot for the mornings and evenings. Highly recommend!🌸

I wish would could have stayed longer! This is an absolute beautiful, comfortable home with everything one would ever need for a wonderful get away.

We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be returning! The house was beautiful and extremely clean, the master bed was so comfy and the backyard was perfect for our pup to run around in. The location was also perfect and in a peaceful area, but also only about 10 minutes to New Buffalo and some amazing restaurants! I would definitely recommend and can’t wait to book our next trip back here!!

The Place was clean and quiet. Beautiful trees surround the area. I am familiar with the New Buffalo and Union pier area. It was right in the middle of all the Restaurants. Sunroom was a great hang out. Yard was a large and private space to hang out and get a fire going. Of course, the koi fish was an extra bit of enjoyment, watching them. Would highly recommend this rental.

Rhonda was amazing and it’s a great location to relax!

Rented this property for a celebration with my book club. There were 10 of us and we were all very comfortable with our accommodations. The hot tub was great. Location was close to the Lake and we were able to walk the shore. The kitchen was well appointed. We ate most of our meals in and were able to cook quite easily. Would rent again

We had a great stay! The house was perfect. It was nice and clean with a great rooftop deck and screened in porch. The location could not have been better, walking distance to everything in town. Everything was easy as far as check in and check out with a book explaining everything in the house. Mark was great at responding to questions. I would highly recommend staying here.

Awesome stay! Booked here for a nice relaxing weekend get away where we wouldn’t need to travel to have fun. That is exactly what this place offered. Great pool & hot tub, and house has plenty of room making it feel relaxing and gives everyone plenty of space. Easy walk down to the beach - you get to leverage the private side of the beach which is very very nice. Overall great stay and will look to book again!

My girlfriends and I had a great stay! Ann’s place was peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed relaxing outside, watching the animals and soaking in the hot tub. We will definitely be back!

Such a cute home. Right across the road from the Warren dunes. Easy to get back and forth with a bicycle. The cutest little ice cream shop right next door. Bed was comfortable and the bunk beds are roomy. Would definitely stay here again.

Everything was great! The pictures don’t do the place justice! It is so spacious, clean and homey! We spent 2 nights at this home & enjoy the local restaurants, and pool at the home!

We really enjoyed staying here! All the downtown stores/restaurants were minutes away in walking distance. The house was clean and looked like the photos. Host was super informative with important information prior to check in. Everyone agreed that we’d happily stay in this house again!

Lovely home, many well thought out perks like fans in upstairs rooms and beach toys for kids! Info said it was an easy short walk to beach so I spent a whole lot more than I usually would. With children it would not be pleasant and is really not a short walk (and is on a semi busy road) & beach is down a whole lot of steps. BUT there are parking spaces so it was fine. Within the house, the steps are fairly steep at parts & there are 2?big ones going into house &!these were hard for my 70 year old mom w knee issues. So if person reading reviews is one of those people, this might not be THE place. That being said, it is very short walk to community pool & host is very responsive & house is beautiful! My mom mostly stayed within first floor including an awesome bed/bath on ground floor. There are games (although I didn’t love the Ouija board 🫣😂) . This would be a great place for multiple family / friends to split cost ;) Its very beautiful & community pool & hot tub are great!
