You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Blocks from Purdue, Ross-Ade, Mackey, Samara House, Birck Golf Complex

Hello Guest(s)! Welcome to 1515 Northwestern Ave., West Lafayette, Indiana 47906. We are so glad you decided to stay here. We hope you have a great time in West Lafayette, Indiana.

We are happy to share this special getaway with you. You are two blocks from Ross-Ade stadium, four blocks from Mackey Arena, and the rest of Purdue campus is accessible. City bus service is available every half hour along Northwestern Ave. The West Lafayette Parks Recreation and Trail Map shows some fantastic parks, trails, and footpaths available in the neighborhood. My favorite is the Celery Bog Nature Area/Lilly Nature Center. There is an area to sit and watch nature. Animals come to the area and you can observe animals in their natural habitat.

You'll enjoy walking into this private home. Hopefully the home will help you enjoy your stay with all its amenities. Walk into the expansive living room with an adjacent sun room with a foosball table and three full walls of windows that look out to a landscaped patio and surrounding mature trees. The living room features: A pull out queen size sleeper sofa, a 40" flat screen TV with Roku, shelves of games and black out curtains. The living room opens up into a dining room, where you can enjoy dinner cooked at home, or delivered from one of our many nearby restaurants. The dining room features: a dining table with seating for 8 people. The big open fully equipped kitchen features: everything you need to cook meals at home. Rounding out the first floor are stairs and a convenience half bathroom. One set of stairs lead up to the bedrooms and full bathroom. After a busy day, soak in the blue tiled bathtub enclosure and sleep in any one of the four quiet and restful bedrooms. Each bed offers: queen and twin size memory foam mattresses, eco friendly bamboo sheets, and blackout curtains. The other set of stairs down lead to the basement which has an air hockey table.

During your stay you will appreciate that you are less than a mile from each of the following: Purdue campus, Ross-Ade Stadium, Mackey Arena, Birck Golf Complex, Folk Field and Boilermaker Soccer Complex, Schwartz Tennis Center, Alexander Field, Celery Bog Nature Area, Faith West including Cafe Literato and community playground, Happy Hollow Park, and West Lafayette downtown full of restaurants, bars, and attractions.

Please keep in mind that 1515 Northwestern Avenue was built in 1938. While not a historic house, you may not find as many electrical outlets as in a modern home. The HVAC vents are in the floor or adjacent to the floor. You can easily lose coins, keys, etc. to a vent if not careful. The fireplace is currently not available until all renovations are completed. Most of the windows have sash pulleys and weights, some of the ropes are broken and will need to be replaced. We ask that any window is carefully opened or closed.

Also the City of West Lafayette has rental housing occupancy limits of either (1) one family and no more than two unrelated guests or (2) no more than three unrelated guests. The City requires submission of an Occupancy Affidavit stating the names and relationships of each guest. Please complete both the rental agreement and the West Lafayette Occupancy Affidavit when booking your stay.

You should find everything that you need, but if you have a question that isn't covered in here, please do get in touch and let me know how I can help. We hope you enjoy yourself and visit again in the future!

Upon arrival, please sign in using the YourWelcome tablet and leave an initial review. We would love to know what you initially think of the place. Feel free to use the YourWelcome tablet to order services (food delivery, mid-booking cleaning, bike rental, etc.). Feel free to use the YourWelcome tablet to provide a mid-stay review. We would like to know if you experience any issues during your stay. Feel free to provide a wrap up review on the YourWelcome tablet before an online post booking review. We would love the opportunity to address any issues prior to the end of your booking. Even if you choose to not use the YourWelcome tablet, we would love if you would let us know how your stay was!

Hostoric Blue House
We enjoyed this spacious home with a large kitchen. It was a perfect place to stay, close to Purdue campus. The host was so thoughtful, with a nice “welcome cake” and many suggestions for things to do in the area.

Lovely house for gatherings
Convenient to Purdue, Happy Hollow park (2 mile walk & playground) , Frank Lloyd Wright’s Samara House. Northwestern Avenue does have fast-moving cars. Only one oddity: cook pots were absent for my short stay. Make sure they are resupplied before your visit…other than that, fabulous, good wifi, big kitchen.

We picked this for a weekend built around a basketball game. It was accessible, plenty of parking, a TON of space inside for hanging out, and the place was comfortable and well-stocked with everything we'd need (e.g. towels, etc.). Cedric is great!

Great Stay!
This house was large enough for our family and pups. Comfy beds and great location. We stayed over Thanksgiving, and were very happy to find the kitchen large and well-appointed for cooking! The owner, Cedric, is very helpful and responsive - and the touches that are left by his children are great! I had an issue with the coffeemaker, and he brought a new one to us within an hour! The only issue with this house is the seating in the living room. The sofa is unbelievably uncomfortable - as in, someone sits down and the other person falls over. You can feel the sofa bed parts beneath the cushions as well. Possibly damaged by previous renters? Unfortunately, it is the only seating other than dining chairs and an office style chair. More seating, more comfy seating would be greatly appreciated - especially for the longer stays.

We had a wonderful stay at the Blue House. The hosts were communicative, responsive, and welcoming--far beyond the norm! The house was clean and spacious, and the kitchen had everything we needed to make ourselves at home. Plus, if you're visiting Purdue, you can't beat the location--just minutes to campus. Recommend!
