Excellent, clean, comfortable stay, close to Feast of the Hunters’ Moon. We had plenty of space, plenty of parking, and the delicious cake to welcome us was a sweet touch.

This was a great location if you need to be close to campus and it was within walking distance to the football stadium and Mackey. We walked everywhere we could. It took us about half an hour to get to Harry’s, but it was nice to get to see to see campus on the way. We even walked to Nine Irish Brothers and the Neon Cactus one night. Communication was great with the host. He was very responsive to all of my inquiries.

The house was perfect for a weekend at Purdue! The host was incredibly friendly and even left us a delicious welcome cake, which was such a thoughtful touch. The home was cozy, clean, and very welcoming, with plenty of games to enjoy. The location was also great- it only took about 10–15 minutes to walk to Mackey. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great home for a weekend or short stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at this charming older home. It is the perfect blend of historic character and modern convenience. We were there on a very hot weekend and the A/C kept us cool even in the bedrooms. There was plenty of room for our party and friends to stop by for dinner. The host has ensured you don't sacrifice any comforts. The updated kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Having in-unit laundry and high-speed Wi-Fi were fantastic perks.The location was incredibly convenient. We were able to easily navigate Purdue and the whole town. It was truly the best of both worlds—quiet, peaceful, and full of personality, but with all the amenities. Highly recommend staying here if you want a memorable getaway! Thanks Cedric.

Hostoric Blue House

We enjoyed this spacious home with a large kitchen. It was a perfect place to stay, close to Purdue campus. The host was so thoughtful, with a nice “welcome cake” and many suggestions for things to do in the area.
