Picturesque Getaway Tippecanoe River

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

2nd time enjoying this beauty!
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.

Good alternative
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 A little outdated and unfinished in spots, but the seclusion and view was nice.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.

Return vactioners here!
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!

Fabulous cabin getaway
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!

Great getaway!
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!

Beautiful Views
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.

Relaxing River Paradise
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.

Fabulous view
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!
