I give this property two separate ratings: 1) The house including the layout, cleanliness, deck, view, etc was a 10. The description about this property is spot on and the owner did a nice job of adding important features like solid doors and locks, newer appliances, very clean, sturdy and huge deck and providing a very livable house. 2) The location rates a 2. Some people may not be bothered by traffic noise but we were looking for a tranquil, peaceful and quiet place to unwind. Because a major two lane road flows right in front of the house there is almost a constant stream of cars going by. When you're on the deck, you hear every car and truck. If you have friends there with lots of chatter this may not be a big deal. If you're wanting to feel like you're "in nature", the traffic noise will ruin that feeling. Overall, a nice house to rent with beautiful views just not a quiet place to relax.

Graduation weekend stay

It was a perfect place to stay away from the hub bub of graduation at Purdue. Quiet and relaxing after long days of graduation and parties. Loved the fishing off the pier and the large outdoor deck overlooking the river. Much easier for the 85 yo mother/grandmother to enjoy her grand daughter’s graduation from Pharmacy school. Her pride and joy.

Awesome family getaway

We stayed for a week, while visiting Indiana Beach. What an amazing house! Every need was catered for with a very well stocked house. Great deck at the back for early morning coffee and sundowners after a long, hot day! Comfortable and big enough for our whole family! It felt like being home- a very stylish home! We will definitely be back!

Cute house, very busy road in front so a little noisy. Very convenient to everything within minutes to that was great. Has just about everything you need and you couldn’t beat the view off the deck. I wish there would have been better access to the River and emailing communication with the host is poor. Otherwise we had a good stay and would probably rent again.

Beautiful Home Right On The River!

Our family had a wonderful time staying here. The backyard has stunning views of the Tippecanoe River. My boys had so much fun fishing from their dock and they caught a lot of fish too. The house is beautifully decorated, clean and cozy. I really enjoyed relaxing in the hammock in the backyard while looking out at the river. We liked how the house is located close to Indiana Beach park, the bait shop and restaurants. Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We're hoping to be back soon.

Beach House Feel on River

We came into town for a family reunion with our children and grandchildren. The beach house was great! Everyone loved it. I enjoyed the memory foam bed and slept very well. Everything was clean and fresh. The deck was great! The host went the extra mile providing all we needed except our clothes,and food for meals...even coffee, condiments and popsicles for the kids.and toiletry items in case we forgot. There were a few toys my two year old grandson loved and great tv options for relaxing when we came home. We saw a deer on the bank of the river, fish and boaters floating down the river. As a grandmother with a toddler, I was relieved at how safe the backyard area was for him. Lots to do on the property...fish from the dock( I did not bring my toddler grandson on the dock), have a campfire, swing in the hammock or porch swing, grill and relax on the comfy deck furniture. An excellent housing option. Would definitely rent again from this host

Lovely stay

Loved our time here. Great communication & clearly a lot of care had been taken to make sure all aspects of our stay were enjoyable. We had beautiful weather and really enjoyed the outdoor areas as well, got to watch herons, eagles, & a family of baby geese visiting the river. We were also pleased to find a nice fenced area below the top deck for our boys to play that had a yard game & places to relax. Conveniently located too, would definitely stay again.

This is a beautiful place to stay with every little detail taken into consideration for your stay. We could not have been more pleased with the home. The back decks and dock are perfect for fishing or just enjoying the serenity of the outdoors. You will not be disappointed.
