Great space for gatherings!

A wonderful place to bring old college friends together. Plenty of areas to sit, entertain & play games. Ample parking in a quiet neighborhood. Loved the 2 refrigerators and outdoor patio area. Only 2 full baths but easy to share when among friends & family. The hostess was attentive & left plenty of extra snacks, condiments & coffee for our weekend. We will definitely stay here again!

Great rental house near Purdue

The house was perfect for our overnight stay at Purdue for my son’s graduation. It was clean, up to date, nicely decorated, and well maintained. The layout gave everyone their own space. But, the outdoor space was great for hanging out together and relaxing. The host was accommodating and kind, and responded quickly to messages. Would definitely stay there again and recommend to others. Thanks!

Great house

We were in town for a softball tournament. We had 9 people in our group and had tons of space for everyone without feeling crowded. The house was very warm and inviting. Lots of extra little things you wouldn’t normally expect from a rental. It was in a great location. Niki was quick to respond to any questions we had.

Great for a group

PU alumni gathered for basketball game and this house was great for location, and layout of home as we all got our own room and they were spaced far apart. Heat was limited in some rooms as this is an older home but there were space heaters that did help. Owner was receptive to questions.
