Great Location & Beautiful Home

The house was perfect for staying a couple of nights for a basketball game or visiting Purdue’s campus. The location is ideal…just a very short walk to the stadium. The house itself is beautiful, very spacious, and super clean. The layout with four bedrooms worked great for our group. We also really enjoyed the pool table….it was a fun bonus! The owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again.

Very large interior spaces, great for a larger group. I appreciated the kid's room; no TV (*chef's kiss) and a good selection of children's books. A minor award goes to the beds, which have soft AND rigid foam pillows. Also, the kitchen had everything needed for cooking.

We can't say enough nice things about this house! We stayed over Thanksgiving break and it was a great experience. The house was in a great area - we were able to easily walk to the Purdue campus for a football game and volleyball game. The host made sure we had an extra leaf for the dining table and the kitchen was stocked with all that we needed. The rooms were all clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend to others and hope to stay here again!

This four bedroom two bath home was just perfect! I wish we could’ve stayed longer as we didn’t have an opportunity to enjoy the screened in back porch. Cathy was very responsive and a wonderful host. It was my daughter‘s mom’s day weekend and we shared it with another mom and they liked it so much. They will probably reserve it for next year! It’s so close to campus too. Highly recommend!!

We had a very lovely stay. This house is located in a beautiful neighborhood and very close to Purdue. On our evening walks, we saw many wild rabbits in people's yards. Very cute.The house was furnished well, very spacious for our family of 4, and extremely comfortable. Our host is very helpful with local recommendations and responsive to our request to check-in early. We will stay here again!

Our new home away from home

We came to town to visit our daughter and potentially buy a West Lafayette home. After staying at the Boiler View Retreat, which was clean, well stocked, had comfortable beds and furniture, and had a lovely, attentive host, we decided not to buy a place. Why worry about our own place when we can just stay here? It is just perfect for us when visiting West Lafayette. It’s our new home away from home.

We loved our stay! There were thoughtful touches throughout the home—plush towels, plentiful hooks throughout, a pool table which my kids loved, and a piano that was fun to use. Communication with the host was quick and easy, and they were so helpful and accommodating from start to finish. We will absolutely be back on our next trip to West Lafayette!
