The view of the river from this house is amazing. We were excited for a two-night stay, but were immediately disappointed. Entry is through either a door under the house that goes through a cobweb covered basement/garage or stairs to a sliding door. The lock on the slider doesn’t engage so it can’t be locked from outside.Inside, the house was clean overall, but multiple ant traps on every counter in the kitchen, a large mold growth above the dining table and a rust-streaked shower and curtain made it so the we simply could enjoy our stay. We left after the first night.

3 different family members that, unknown to one another, were asking the same question of Patrick! He was patient and kind. The property is beautifully situated. Birds, wildlife in abundance for listening and observing! Very clean and well appointed. The river was high and covered the shore completely. Overall a wonderful property. We didn't stay the last night due to the raging high water. The host isn't responsible for weather nor our decision to leave. The weather did the experience more in some ways and less in others! No fishing, tubing, kayaking, fire pit, etc., but spectacular fast, raging river, astorm, view of nature on the other hand! Wonderful!

Perfect weekend getaway

This was our third time staying here. It’s perfect for a weekend escape from the city and for tubing down the river. The property has a lot of privacy but all of the neighbors we did meet were really friendly. I would bring blankets though as the room closer to the air conditioner was a lot colder than the other room.

A riverside cabin in the woods

A wonderful break from the city grind. The home reminded me of every woodsy vacation I ever had complete with open conversation area overlooking the river. Great location to get away close enough to Purdue to commute, far enough away to relax.

Very secluded with beautiful view out the front panoramic windows. Saw fish jumping, deer, Osprey and a bald eagle bathing in the ripples. A real Valhalla. Spacious seating inside and out. Caught some nice smallmouth bass by wading off the gravel bar out front

Fabulous cabin getaway

The tippecanoe is so much fun for kids and adults to play in. We spent hours playing with the rocks, we even saw a soft shelled turtle on the water! The cabin is very comfortable, clean a relaxing. If I’m ever in this area again I would not hesitate to come back here! Beautiful place!

Great getaway!

It was great to spend some time outside and around this home! Having no tv was preferred and wehad some good quality time together. Property manager was easily accessible and great with accommodating our needs. Would love to visit again!

Relaxing River Paradise

The Large, airy house is clean and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The best part? A beautiful view of the Tippecanoe River flowing by a couple of small islands. This is our 3rd or 4th stay and we’re planning for next year already.

2nd time enjoying this beauty!

We enjoyed our beautiful nature stay. Deer out front crossing the river. Bald eagles all up and down the river. We spent 2 days on the river from the dam to the bridge just past the house. the river was a little low this time but still a doable trip. we will defiantly be back. we all love this place.

Relaxing and Quiet

The property is out of view of the road and neighbors were quiet. It may not be a good place for small children. Lots of steps with living quarters a high height from ground. It was great for a restful, quiet time for adults. The view of the river going by is spectacular.

Delightfully quirky home with stunning river view!

The delightful setting on the river is maximized by floor-to ceiling sliding door windows on two of the living room walls. We loved watching the birds on the river. Geese, ducks, herons and eagles were all seen. A quick, scenic drive took us to the campus of Purdue University where we attended my son’s graduation. The quiet neighborhood was great for a walk, and the people were all friendly. I would definitely stay there again.

Return vactioners here!

This place is such a find. The river is shallow and easily accessible for fishing or wading. House is spacious and has everything you would need, including board games. No tv is a nice break for our kids and I loved the quiet! Also something to note...there are ZERO mosquitos!!! We brought bug spray and literally never used it! We will surely be back!
