Come be in nature. Perched on the bank of the Tippecanoe River, this house hangs in air like a treehouse, giving optimal river views. The house and river offer leisure and vigorous activities: There's a prolific flowering garden, a screened in porch, outdoor patios, swings, tubing, chair surfing(river lounging), fishing, hiking, bird watching, games, bon fires, nature walks to mention a few. Come be in the wild. A river resident and unmissed neighbor, the great blue heron, unknowingly catches the attention of a room, even if only flying by. A walk to one of the islands, or across the river, is always a fun, and sometimes tricky activity. The Tippecanoe River stands two and a half feet tall at normal height. There is a mile loop that takes you through the neighborhood, for those walkers and runners. The open kitchen looks down upon the living and dining rooms, making it the central hub of the house. The concrete patio, under the house, is a great hangout year round...sun, rain, lightning storms. This house is a great getaway. This is not a party house. No bachelor parties. No loud noise or fires after midnight due to neighbors. People live on the Tippecanoe River. Please respect them and this beautiful land we all share. No shooting wild life from the property. \*The fireplace inside the house is unworkable. It is not listed as an amenity. Fires can not be made in this fireplace, sorry for the inconvenience.

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. ##### Keith G. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sherry M., Monroe, GA 1 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Sherry M. Stayed 7 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Merryn J. 18 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Merryn J. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott S. 18 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Good alternative It was a good stay overall. We were in the area to visit our daughter for family weekend at Purdue. We only stayed here as an alternative because there were no hotels near the Purdue campus available. The inside was clean. A little outdated and unfinished in spots, but the seclusion and view was nice. It was about 30 minutes from West Lafayette campus, but not bad. Overall it met our needs and we enjoyed our stay with no issues. ##### Scott S. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Taryn H. 29 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Views We had a great time! The house has a really gorgeous view— especially with all the windows. Our kids loved heading across to the island for a nature stomp. I loved hanging out on the patio reading. My husband fished and kayaked. There was something for everyone. Delphi has a near pioneer village and Lafayette has a little zoo and water parks. Plenty do at the house or beyond. ##### Taryn H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori M., Piper City 12 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Lori M. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth B. 19 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful river views from cabin living room! We had a good stay at this renovated cabin with beautiful river views. As shown in pictures, the living space of cabin is above the ground a full flight of stairs. We enjoyed watching wildlife. Bald eagles, hawks, heron, deer crossing river, and more. Our dog enjoyed watching the river and wildlife too. The beds were very comfortable and the A/C worked well. Plenty of comfortable seating and appreciated the large dining table as we were doing some wedding prep (for nephew) and needed extra table space. The internet is helpful as we had little or no cell signal at the cabin. There is a landline as well which we didn’t use but really appreciated that the owner made available. This is a beautiful area that we hope to explore more in the future. ##### Elizabeth B.

Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Debra W. 23 Jun 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### A bit disappointing There is a beautiful view of the river and nature. Grounds are well kept. Needs some attention on the outside of house. Furniture is very dated inside and out, the water pressure is quite low. We are In our 60’s so not used to no television either especially for a 2 week Stay. ##### Debra W. Stayed 16 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bill V. 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Location This house is right on the water and is a great location if you want to fish and watch the river pass you by. Plenty of space to spread out and a large kitchen for cooking meals. We used the charcoal grill to cook some meals and hung out on the covered patio during the day. Cell service is non-existent when you get within a couple miles of the house so be sure you know where you are going. We didn't realize the address shows up in VRBO after the checkin time so we missed it and spent a couple hours in the dark looking for the house (which cannot be seen from the road). We tried contacting the owner but he either didn't get the message or didn't reply. Eiher way we finally found it and it was a very peaceful and perfect place for our trip. ##### Bill V. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jennifer B. 5 Oct 2022 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Nice location While this property has a beautiful location thats about all that can be said about it. It has a beautiful view. The amenities listed are useless. Fireplace was broken. Fire pit had no wood available. We asked before going and were told by vrbo who asked owner if wood was available. Response was there was wood in the garage. Four pieces. Lighting is aweful. Furniture is dated badly. When we arrived we spent an hour cleaning cobwebs off if everything outside before you we could sit on anything. It got cool a couple nights and when you turn in heat the main bedroom becomes dantes inferno. There was dirt and sick and game pieces from previous guests under the couch. Then before we were an hour away the owner contacted us to tell us we damaged his concrete and were being charged an additional fees. We damaged nothing. He refuses to send pictures. Be weary of this property ##### Jennifer B. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2022
