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.

Attentive and Thoughtful Host

The home was a nice size for all of us to be able to spend time together on the main level with plenty of seating. We did have some issues with the code (which could have been that I was not looking for the clear directions in the correct spot) BUT the owner was very quick to respond and help! The hosts even provided special personal touches to make us feel very welcomed.

Wonderful house close to campus

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!

The Blue House was perfect for family and friends returning to Purdue to ring in the new year and catch a game at Mackey! The house was equipped with everything we needed to cook meals and entertain kids. Lots of space and you can’t beat the proximity to campus. Cedric was a fantastic host!

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!

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.
