Great Main Street Location! Walk to Everything
Adrienne’s place was so fun! The perfect location in the middle of shops and restaurants and within walking distance of all things Purdue! Super clean and easy to find. We had a wonderful stay!

Gather Here Visiting Purdue & Greater Lafayette
My daughter and I stayed here while we visited my oldest at Purdue. We felt right at home, were very comfortable, and we had everything we needed. We will stay again if it’s available!

Charming neighborhood in Purdue's Backyard
We stayed here with our two dogs while our house was being painted. The house was exactly as described and exactly what we needed, a quiet, no hassle place to take our dogs until the work was done. The big fenced-in yard was a big win for us. Plenty of room for fetch. I don't think we even saw a neighbor while we were there. Very quiet. Check-in was as simple as it gets. We appreciate the landing pad while our house was painted. Thank you!

5 mins from Purdue, beautiful decor, FAST WIFI
We booked this apartment to be near our son while visiting him at Purdue. The location was perfect! Near campus, great restaurants and many amenities nearby. The place was spotless, incredibly well stocked kitchen and bathroom. We slept great and appreciated having such a welcoming place to come home too. It’s stylish and very clean. Natalia is very responsive and communicated perfectly. We had zero questions. Made the trip so nice and easy!

Private. Spacious. Perfect Location.
We stayed in town for the purpose of attending a college visit. The place was as described, clean, spacious and in a great location. The extra space made for a very comfortable stay. Would stay again in the future and would recommend to anyone traveling to the greater Lafayette area.

Cozy Cove Cottage
Cozy Cove Cottage was super cute & cozy. Beautiful views of the lake with steps going down to the water. Kitchen had everything you might need for cooking including some pantry staples. Beds were comfortable. Large outside deck with plenty of seating. Steps going down to the house from the parking space is well lit but was tricky carrying our luggage.

Comfy House, Arcade, walk to Purdue, Golf, Sports!
Would stay here again - Sharon’s a great host and the house mostly fit the bill, was in a great location to walk to Purdue, the house itself was nicely renovated and had fun games downstairs. Also deceptively spacious once you factor in the finished basement. Only recommendations for the host would be (a) blackout curtains in the bedrooms (for kids to fall asleep before the sun goes down) and (b) to use fragrance free laundry detergent (the linens had a scent). Thanks for a great stay!!

Oakdale Ranch House
Very responsive and helpful host. The fenced yard was perfect for our dogs to run around!

Cozy 4 bedroom home just a short walk to Purdue
Love staying at this place on a road trip. It was the perfect spot for us to relax and get a really good night sleep. Would definitely stay here again! Super clean, all the pictures were accurate, 10/10. Great restaurants close by too!

Comfy 3 bedroom just 2.5 miles from Purdue
Erin was absolutely amazing to deal with. Was clear and friendly in her communications with us, and always responded promptly. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control we were not able to stay at Erin's place. It will be our go-to place next time we need somewhere to stay in West Lafayette.

Tippecanoe River Retreat -2 BR, 2 Qn, 2 Twin
Will was great and beyond. The place was what we expected and felt so comfortable every day of our stay. We forgot a wallet and immediately contacted us back to return it safe and sound. This place is a must!

Grace House
Grace house was peaceful amd perfect. I wish we could've stayed longer. Everything was perfect. All communication was exact. Love it we will be back!

Country home Near Purdue sleeps 8
Andrew and Linda were responsive and great hosts, the location was as described, and the value is good. It abuts an active vehicle work zone, so there may be loud vehicular sounds during business hours, however, these were not disruptive for us. The place is very quiet indoors (which is great) but that means that if someone is conducting private/business conversations, it can be heard throughout the house.560.

Glass Porch Cottage w/Boat Dock
Great place to stay honestly. Me and friends absolutely loved the house, especially the canal right in the back yard was always nice to see when sitting in the sunroom. Would definitely recommend the stay

Campus Retreat 2-min from Purdue
Great home and fantastic stay. Just as described and in a great location in close proximity to Purdue and surrounding areas. Plenty of space for a family or for 4 roommates with everyone having their own king bed. Daniel was very responsive and a super host. We’d definitely stay again.

3,800 Sq Ft., Rustic Luxury Estate On Lake Freeman
This was the perfect place for a family Christmas. We felt like we were on the set of a Hallmark movie! The cabin is quite large and has plenty of seating for wherever people want to gather. The kitchen was very well stocked and clean, the beds were comfortable and Brian and Allison were more than accommodating and quick to respond. We only wish we would had another couple days to spend there!
