Brookston, Indiana
A secluded place for your family to have alone time. Come be in nature.
Perched on the bank of the Tippecanoe River, this house hangs in air like a treehouse, giving optimal river views. The house and river offer leisure and vigorous activities: There's a prolific flowering garden, a screened in porch, outdoor patios, swings, tubing, chair surfing(river lounging), fishing, hiking, bird watching, games, bon fires, nature walks to mention a few. Come be in the wild. A river resident and unmissed neighbor, the great blue heron, unknowingly catches the attention of a room, even if only flying by. A walk to one of the islands, or across the river, is always a fun, and sometimes tricky activity. The Tippecanoe River stands two and a half feet tall at normal height. There is a mile loop that takes you through the neighborhood, for those walkers and runners.
The open kitchen looks down upon the living and dining rooms, making it the central hub of the house. The concrete patio, under the house, is a great hangout year round...sun, rain, lightning storms. This house is a great getaway.
This is not a party house. No bachelor parties. No loud noise or fires after midnight due to neighbors. People live on the Tippecanoe River. Please respect them and this beautiful land we all share. No shooting wild life from the property.
*The fireplace inside the house is unworkable. It is not listed as an amenity. Fires can not be made in this fireplace, sorry for the inconvenience. There is also no TV at the house. Streaming shows from your computer is fast and easy.
Thank you
Quiet cabin with great views to the river.
We enjoyed our beautiful nature stay. Deer out front crossing the river. Bald eagles all up and down the river. We spent 2 days on the river from the dam to the bridge just past the house. the river was a little low this time but still a doable trip. we will defiantly be back. we all love this place.
It was a good stay overall. We were in the area to visit our daughter for family weekend at Purdue. We only stayed here as an alternative because there were no hotels near the Purdue campus available. The inside was clean. A little outdated and unfinished in spots, but the seclusion and view was nice. It was about 30 minutes from West Lafayette campus, but not bad. Overall it met our needs and we enjoyed our stay with no issues.
This place is such a find. The river is shallow and easily accessible for fishing or wading. House is spacious and has everything you would need, including board games. No tv is a nice break for our kids and I loved the quiet! Also something to note...there are ZERO mosquitos!!! We brought bug spray and literally never used it! We will surely be back!
The tippecanoe is so much fun for kids and adults to play in. We spent hours playing with the rocks, we even saw a soft shelled turtle on the water! The cabin is very comfortable, clean a relaxing. If I’m ever in this area again I would not hesitate to come back here! Beautiful place!
It was great to spend some time outside and around this home! Having no tv was preferred and wehad some good quality time together. Property manager was easily accessible and great with accommodating our needs. Would love to visit again!
We had a great time! The house has a really gorgeous view— especially with all the windows. Our kids loved heading across to the island for a nature stomp. I loved hanging out on the patio reading. My husband fished and kayaked. There was something for everyone. Delphi has a near pioneer village and Lafayette has a little zoo and water parks. Plenty do at the house or beyond.
We loved this property and the peacefulness of the river! Check in was easy and the screened in porch was amazing.
The Large, airy house is clean and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The best part? A beautiful view of the Tippecanoe River flowing by a couple of small islands. This is our 3rd or 4th stay and we’re planning for next year already.
The view from the living room and screened room were both great and we spent all of our time there. The furniture was quirky med-century modern. We're already booked for next year. I love it!
The property is out of view of the road and neighbors were quiet. It may not be a good place for small children. Lots of steps with living quarters a high height from ground. It was great for a restful, quiet time for adults. The view of the river going by is spectacular.
The delightful setting on the river is maximized by floor-to ceiling sliding door windows on two of the living room walls. We loved watching the birds on the river. Geese, ducks, herons and eagles were all seen. A quick, scenic drive took us to the campus of Purdue University where we attended my son’s graduation. The quiet neighborhood was great for a walk, and the people were all friendly. I would definitely stay there again.
Perfect getaway! The view from this house is absolutely beautiful! Hearing nothing but nature is what we needed.
While this property has a beautiful location thats about all that can be said about it. It has a beautiful view. The amenities listed are useless. Fireplace was broken. Fire pit had no wood available. We asked before going and were told by vrbo who asked owner if wood was available. Response was there was wood in the garage. Four pieces. Lighting is aweful. Furniture is dated badly. When we arrived we spent an hour cleaning cobwebs off if everything outside before you we could sit on anything. It got cool a couple nights and when you turn in heat the main bedroom becomes dantes inferno. There was dirt and sick and game pieces from previous guests under the couch. Then before we were an hour away the owner contacted us to tell us we damaged his concrete and were being charged an additional fees. We damaged nothing. He refuses to send pictures. Be weary of this property
Beautiful views, pretty scenery, perfect place for a quiet weekend getaway. The cabin was clean, and the host was very easy to work with. The dogs loved the river!
Great view overlooking the river. A bald eagle landed in a tree over the river about 150' from the house.
This was a beautiful property! The view was perfect! The home was very clean and had everything we needed. Some of the furniture could use some upgrading but there is plenty of it to seat everyone. There were no bugs making enjoying the porch even better. It's a lovely place.
Perfect house. Nicely decorated,clean and comfortable. The views-to say it is beautifull it doesnt describe it! Even the pictures do not show it fully ,its just wow! The river sounds right out the balcony -so relaxing! Kitchen had everything you needed to coock meals,big dining table for family dinners and games.lots of games in the cabinet to choose from! Nice books to!Beds were comfortable . My family loved this house and the location so much ,we will be definately comming back and staying longer next time! Words can not describe how peacefull it is there . Thank you for sharing this house with us !
There is a beautiful view of the river and nature. Grounds are well kept. Needs some attention on the outside of house. Furniture is very dated inside and out, the water pressure is quite low. We are In our 60’s so not used to no television either especially for a 2 week Stay.
Property is quaint and charming. Kitchen is older but well-stocked. Furniture is old but fine. Would fix the screens in porch since there were many wasp in there that came in through the holes
