First impression is how clean and cute it is. The layout is great for families or groups. And we loved the firepit area. There is comfortable seating for 8 around the fire.We were in town to visit Purdue and the commute is pretty easy, though when you come back to this home it is like a retreat in the country. We loved it!

Wonderful Home Close to Purdue

We were so thrilled to have found a wonderful property close to Purdue to serve as our home away from home while we visited our son. The property was everything we hoped for - beautifully appointed, thoughtful details, clean, great amenities, and a very responsive host. We will certainly stay here again for any return college visits!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer O'Shea

Host profile image
My Name is Jennifer O'Shea, I have been a local realtor for 25 years and bought this property to fix up and re-sell immediately. (I have been flipping homes for 4 years now) However, once the project was complete, I was pretty attached as it is such a special house! I really couldnt let it go! I had no intention of making this a VRBO home when I bought it, but the idea popped in my mind and mentioned "crazy idea" to my husband, and he said, "Sure, why not?". I fully expected him to say I was crazy! The neighbor to the east quickly encouraged the thought and said she has always wanted to run a Bed and Breakfast - she would help me! So we took a leap of faith. That was Sept. 2022. Response has been tremendous and we are booked most of the time. It's been one of the best things I have ever done!! I love sharing this home with others, I love the comments that the home exceeded their expectations, I love the memories they are making with friends and family staying here with them! I have poured my heart into this home. I am constantly looking for ways to make the guests stay memorable. I think it's the best kept secret in West Lafayette if you are looking for a place to stay and you want more than a hotel.

Why they chose this property

Easy straight drive into center of Purdue U. This place is so peaceful and beautiful! I love hanging out here! Classic midwest feel and you can see landscape forever! Perfect location for a VRBO home, just 12 mins from heart of Purdue campus. Being out of the immediate fray of neighborhoods and noisey town. I love the country!

What makes this property unique

I think if there were a contest of best VRBOS in the area, this place would probably win the award! It is fabulous for a winter stay or summer stay. Entertaining or just hanging out with your family is really great in this home. You will love the deck to grill on, the lighted outdoor fire pit area, and the screened in gazebo. If weather isnt good, the spacious interior will give you plenty of room to spread out. Large table, large island counter top, and huge TV room. If you need a quiet area, the sun room has a couch and day bed and desk with doors that you can close. Newly renovated interior with fresh decor would make Joanna Gaines proud! :)
