The bedrooms and basement got pretty cold at night considering how chilly it was outside during our stay, but that is to be expected with an older house. Otherwise everything was clean and great for our weekend stay! The host replied timely when needed. Would stay again!

The house was very clean upon arrival. We loved the mid-century vibe as we entered. The backyard was totally usable by our dogs bc it's fully fenced. The deck was wonderful for breakfast on our first morning as it was a warmer morning for fall. The bathrooms were clean, shower head is high if you're tall, and water pressure was great! Plenty of storage for things in closets and dressers. All appliances were clean and worked well. The neighborhood is quiet and so easy to access. Great place to stay.

Very Responsive!

We had a couple of little issues with the home as we stayed 8 nights (longer than most stays), and the owners were very responsive and accomodating! We were in the area for golf tournaments, so we couldn't beat the location and proximity to the courses. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your rental!

Great Location, Clean, Needs some Updates

Great location! 5 minute drive to Purdue for a campus visit for my son who is considering attending. Safe neighborhood and pet friendly are all positives. House is clean and beds comfortable with lots of room for everyone. My kids loved the dart board! This home is older and could use some updates to kitchen and bathrooms which look original. Also please consider getting some better quality towels for bathrooms. Well kept and fit our needs as a family of four and pet friendly was major selling point. Thanks again and if we should return we would definitely stay here again. Also, very minimal check out instructions was a positive.

Graduation stay

We just stayed during graduation weekend as a family & it served its purpose. The property was clean. My only draw back was my attempt to reach the owner a month before to ask questions & I never received a reply. I was a little nervous if I was going to have a place when I arrived.

Accurate descriptions.

Place is clean but not lux. No body wash provided ( we left some for you!) Mattresses poor, but everything is clean! Easy check in and host/hostess(?) even shoveled driveway for us! It worked for us and I would recommend. Thanks for having us!

Pleasant Purdue Place to Stay

Wanted a hotel alternative for the our family to stay for December graduation. This place fit the bill nicely! Clean and comfortable and located close to campus. It would make a great game day spot with proximity to Ross Ade. Host was quick to answer questions. Worked well for us!

Outstanding location for Purdue sporting events

This is a great little neighborhood with easy access to the football stadium. We were there for the Purdue Penn State game and had a great stay. The house is a little dated to but otherwise clean, as stated and functional. Would stay again

Great Location but property needs attention

There were significant cleanliness issues when we arrived, we were unable to use the kitchen the first night. I contacted host and that was positive, she arrived the next day and spent the second day of our stay addressing issues. There was no oven to use while we were there and BBQ did not get hot enough to ensure meat was cooked so finished cooking in frying pan. Property needs attention, oven repaired or replaced and more cooking equipment and dishes, a big bowl for a salad etc. we use VRBO so we can do our own cooking but this was a challenge. The hosts are lovely, we were financially compensated for some of the issues. Great location

Good home base for family members during our wedding weekend.

The property met our needs. We did not spend a lot of time at the house. We felt that we had to wash any dishes before using after finding mouse poop and a chewed paper towel in the silverware drawer.
