Great communication, clean house. Struggling with paying 175 for cleaning fee when we had to make sure all furniture was in it’s original location, load & start the dishwasher, and also empty the trash cans. Owner needs to check inside stairs for code compliance. Very short risers and very narrow treads with a lip overhang that makes the usable tread area very narrow. My wife and I are fit, we run and bike, and both of us stumbled coming down the stairs. Me in Friday, her on Saturday. Neither of us were hurt, but the fact that both of us stumbled on the same stairs, suggests the focus should be on the stair riser / treads (run) dimension are actually code compliant.

Great Home!

Our family stayed in this incredibly nice home while visiting West Lafayette! It had everything we needed and more. It is very well put together and very comfortable. We stayed during Christmas week and they were very gracious in putting up a Christmas tree for us to make it feel more like home. Thank you for everything!

The Riverside Retreat was perfect for a family visit to Purdue. The house was nicer than we imagined and was so thoughtfully decorated. It was also in a great location, close to the university, and relaxing with a beautiful view of the river. We loved it and hope to stay there again!

Great home

The home was just wonderful. We enjoyed the big soft towels, shampoo and conditioners and comfy beds. It felt like a hotel stay. Location was great - close to Purdue. We watched football on the large TV and enjoyed the boiler makers theme. The outside space was a nice addition. I have nothing negative to say. Host checked up on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely come back again !
