Appreciate the quick response on getting a few items fixed. Couch was comfy and the place had character. Seemed like a cool place for summer or spring with the outdoor fireplace. Easily able to get anywhere in town with-in minutes. Everything was provided so it made it really easy.

The home was super comfy and unique and we had an amazing time celebrating our 20th anniversary! Previous reviews mentioned the trains. Yes, there are some tracks that run along the back property line behind a fence but the home is brick, and while the train horn can be heard, it is not overly disruptive or super noisy as the trains are going through. Yes, there is an old cemetery next door and they didn’t bother us at all. They were very quiet and considerate and excellent neighbors overall. We would definitely stay again and I have already recommended to friends who would love the uniqueness!

This house was perfect for our stay while we were in town for a Purdue basketball game. The house was clean, very well stocked, and beautifully updated. Our two boys stayed upstairs in the loft area, and we took the downstairs master bedroom. The beds were very comfortable as was all the furniture. We watched a football game on the large screen smart TV in the living room, which was perfect. We made a pizza in the oven, put some groceries in the fridge, did some dishes, and did a load of laundry. All the appliances worked great. The water pressure was a little low & the water took a while to get hot, but that didn’t really bother us. The bathroom was really nicely refinished. There is a cemetery by the house, which we found to be quaint. The fire pit & furniture outside were perfect for the yard surrounded by a privacy fence. As some other reviews have said, it is close to the main road, and there are train tracks right behind the house, but it honestly didn’t bother us at all. It was the best night’s sleep any of us have gotten in weeks. We had a great stay and would definitely stay here again.

The place had charm but it wasn’t enough to make up for the location. The fact the the train tracks are around 40 ft from the back door was challenging. The noise level and vibrations were quite unsettling and a train came by around 10 times in 24 hour period. The road noise is also very loud. Also it was a bit unsettling to be next to a cemetery and across the street from a corrections facility. I didn’t realize it wasn’t near a neighborhood at all.
