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 occupants or (2) no more than three unrelated occupants. The City requires submission of an Occupancy Affidavit stating the names and relationships of each occupant. 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 use the Hostfully guidebook (https://v2.hostfully.com/bluehousewl/house_manual) to answer initial questions, such as the WiFi password. We would love to know what you initially think of the place. Feel free to contact us to order services (food delivery, mid-booking cleaning, etc.). We would like to know if you experience any issues during your stay. We would love the opportunity to address any issues prior to the end of your booking.

Sincerely,
Cedric & Zandra D'Hue

    The Blue House was perfect for graduation in West Lafayette! Cedric was easy to contact and I loved all the extra things he did to make us feel welcome. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was huge and had everything we needed!

    Clean and cozy home, spacious kitchen, comfortable beds, and a great backyard for our pups. A homemade cake from our landlord in the fridge was a welcome surprise during this awesome stay. Thank you for the warm welcome and for being a great host.

    Our host was very responsive, and we enjoyed being so close to the Purdue campus. We walked to basketball game and every driving trip to campus or restaurants was less than 10 minutes. We also enjoyed a great welcoming gift from the host’s family.

    The house was perfect for a weekend at Purdue! The host was incredibly friendly and even left us a delicious welcome cake, which was such a thoughtful touch. The home was cozy, clean, and very welcoming, with plenty of games to enjoy. The location was also great- it only took about 10–15 minutes to walk to Mackey. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great home for a weekend or short stay.

    This was our second stay at the Historic Blue House and it we loved it! We had a cake baked for us and it was delicious! The home is clean and organized with a ton of space.The kitchen is perfect for all the food prep I had to do for our family get together. The host provided prompt responses to my inquiries. Definitely a 10 out of 10 we’ll more than likely stay again next year!!

    What an Excellent stay! The host was in constant communication. We only had 5 staying there but could have had more and there was plenty of parking. The house was super clean and the location couldn't be beat. Hoping to stay here again in the future.

    BOOK THIS HOUSE! beautiful large home with everything we needed! Comfortable beds, enough lounging space and walking distance to Ross Ade and Mackey Arena which was great for Purdue Homecoming weekend. The owner was very accommodating and replied quickly to a couple questions we had. No complaints, awesome stay!

    Our only complaint was the lack of a TV all of the first night and part of the second. Host was out of town and unable to come to the property to fix the issue until the second night...not his fault but stunk we couldn't watch football on Sunday evening. Otherwise, great location for us who wanted to be close to the golf course!

    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.

    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.
