About this property

Elm House

Enjoy your trip to West Lafayette less than a mile from Purdue Univ. Bring the whole family or all your friends to this great place with lots of room for fun. There is plenty to do inside from watching the game, playing some games or relaxing with a good book. Or sit outside by the firepit and watch a movie or game on the 70 inch projector screen. The house is centrally located btwn campus, restaurants, and shopping. If you are here for a big game, take pleasure in a .68 mile walk to the campus

Spacious Gem in a Private yet Convenient Location

This was my first VRBO experience and it did not disappoint! Great meet up location for friends that offered everything you'd expect plus gaming areas, a large dining area, little nooks for reading or zoom calls, plenty of private bedrooms, several bathrooms and a large living room with comfy couches for socializing and watching movies. Host was top notch and responded quickly with our questions. Check in and check out directions were clear and reasonable. No surprises or hidden fees. We highly recommend this Elm Street Oasis for all of your get-aways to West Lafayette. Everything you could possibly want is close and our food delivery was free! Hospitality at its best. Thank you for a memorable and most pleasant stay!

Great house

We were in town for a softball tournament. We had 9 people in our group and had tons of space for everyone without feeling crowded. The house was very warm and inviting. Lots of extra little things you wouldn’t normally expect from a rental. It was in a great location. Niki was quick to respond to any questions we had.

Great for a group

PU alumni gathered for basketball game and this house was great for location, and layout of home as we all got our own room and they were spaced far apart. Heat was limited in some rooms as this is an older home but there were space heaters that did help. Owner was receptive to questions.

Great space for gatherings!

A wonderful place to bring old college friends together. Plenty of areas to sit, entertain & play games. Ample parking in a quiet neighborhood. Loved the 2 refrigerators and outdoor patio area. Only 2 full baths but easy to share when among friends & family. The hostess was attentive & left plenty of extra snacks, condiments & coffee for our weekend. We will definitely stay here again!
