This was such a cute house for our stay! We were meeting up with family in town and everything was lovely. Plenty of space for everyone to be and the kitchen had the utensils we needed for a short stay. The view of the river was an added bonus.

Exactly as pictured/described. Gorgeous sunlight & river views throughout (especially downstairs). Excellent location. Quiet area. Comfy, cozy home - easy to relax. Beds are as described by other guests - hard but somehow comfortable. Should our oldest choose Purdue, we'll be back for sure!

The Riverside Retreat was perfect for a family visit to Purdue. The house was nicer than we imagined and was so thoughtfully decorated. It was also in a great location, close to the university, and relaxing with a beautiful view of the river. We loved it and hope to stay there again!
