About this property

Purdue, Ross-Ade, and Mackey in your backyard!

Welcome to 725 Bexley Road, 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 literally across Northwestern Avenue from Ross-Ade stadium and Mackey Arena. The rest of Purdue campus is accessible. City bus service is available every half hour along Northwestern Ave.

You'll enjoy entrusting your stay to this private home. Hopefully the home will help you enjoy your stay with all its amenities. Starting in the foyer, there are three options. Turn to your left to walk into the expansive living room with an adjacent den having a wall of windows that look out to a landscaped backyard and surrounding mature trees. The den 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 features comfortable sofa and chairs, a 40" flat screen TV with Roku, a fireplace, and a foosball table. The living room also opens up into an office connected to the kitchen, a convenient half bathroom, and a hallway that takes you back to the foyer. The foyer is also the base of the stairs leading to the second floor. Starting back again in the foyer, turn to your right to enter the dining room where you can enjoy a 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 dining room also connects to the kitchen. The fully equipped kitchen features everything you need to cook meals at home. An expansive pantry and laundry room round out the interior first floor. Stairs lead up to the second floor bedrooms and two full bathrooms. After a busy day, soak in either bathtub, walk on the radiant heated floor in the main bathroom, and soundly sleep in any one of the three quiet and restful bedrooms which have triple paned windows. Each bed offers: queen size memory foam mattresses, eco friendly sheets, and blackout curtains.

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.

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.

Please keep in mind that 725 Bexley Road was built in 1936. While not a historic house, you may not find as many electrical outlets as in a modern home. There are HVAC vents in the floor or adjacent to the floor. You can easily lose coins, keys, etc. to a vent or an old laundry shute if not careful. The fireplace is currently not available until it has been inspected. 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 guests or (2) no more than three unrelated guests. The City requires submission of an Occupancy Affidavit stating the names and relationships of each guest. 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 sign in using the YourWelcome tablet and leave an initial review. We would love to know what you initially think of the place. Feel free to use the YourWelcome tablet to order services (food delivery, mid-booking cleaning, etc.). Feel free to use the YourWelcome tablet to provide a mid-stay review. We would like to know if you experience any issues during your stay. Feel free to provide a wrap up review on the YourWelcome tablet before an online post booking review. We would love the opportunity to address any issues prior to the end of your booking. Even if you choose to not use the YourWelcome tablet, we would love if you would let us know how your stay was!

Sincerely,

Wonderful Home!!
Our family has stayed here 3 times already. Our son attends Purdue and we have visited many times for his freshmen year. The home’s location is amazing and is a perfect walking distance to campus. We love the cleanliness of the home and the beauty of it here in West Lafayette. We will definitely be staying here again and the host has been wonderful with communication.

Spring semester visit to Purdue
I think this house has been our favorite of all of our rentals at Purdue! We frequently stay at VRBO properties when coming to West Lafayette and love to stay close to campus. This house is just steps from Mackey Arena and the football stadium! Cedric is the best host we have encountered through VRBO. This is the second time his family has cooked us a homemade cake for our arrival and they have been amazing. As far as the property goes… always clean, very comfortable bedding, and an amazing backyard where we enjoyed the fire pit every night! This will be our first option going forward!

Hidden Gem in W. lafayette
We rented the house for our family to stay at for the Purdue v. Oregon football game. The house was perfect for my husband and I and our adult children and their significant others. We loved having all the common areas to hang out in and had a couple of wonderful afternoons hanging out on the deck overlooking the backyard. The house is fully stocked and comfortable. And the Welcome Chocolate Cake was appreciated by everyone! We will definitely stay there again.

Perfect home for our family & pets!
This wonderful home was perfect for our 5-night stay in West Lafayette! Everything was great, including the fenced-in back yard, which we all enjoyed (especially our two senior dogs). While we were here in June and there were no sporting events in season, we really appreciated the close proximity to Ross-Ade Stadium and Mackey Arena and we enjoyed taking evening walks around the athletic complex with our pets. Thank you for making our visit a great one!

Spacious and great location
This beautiful house very close to Ross-Ade football stadium was perfect for the annual family road trip to a Buckeye road game! Plenty of space for the 8 of us, well stocked with dish ware, and comfortable furniture. Very easy check in and check out process. No long to do list on check out which makes your day of departure stress free! The chocolate cake was a beautiful touch and yummy! Thank you Cedric!

Nice Home with a Great Location
Property was nice and very close to the Purdue University campus. Tremendous access to Mackey Arena and Ross-Ade. Property manager (Cedric) was very personable and was very attentive to our needs. Nice living areas and an outdoor deck which allowed our group to spread out and enjoy themselves. Seems like all amenities and needs were well thought out as everything we needed seemed to be available in the home. We will use this property again when looking to visit campus in the future. Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Cedric Axel D'Hue

Host profile image
When 725 Bexley Road came on the market, literally across Northwestern Avenue from Ross-Ade stadium and Mackey Arena, we were immediately smitten.

Similar to 1515 Northwestern Avenue, 725 Bexley Road provided another opportunity to purchase a nearly century old home. Unlike 1515 Northwestern Avenue which we seek to update into a modern home while keeping or restoring the 1930s character, such as the many interior window shutters, 725 Bexley Road has had at least two additions.

The fireplace is currently not available until it has been inspected.

All of the rooms are relatively quiet given the triple paned windows, even with to the busy street, Northwestern Avenue, outside.

Turning this 1936 house into a short term rental provides our family a number of opportunities for our children to get involved in the short term rental business and home renovations. So far with 1515 Northwestern Avenue, our children have been involved in opening boxes, putting away house supplies, building furniture, and making up beds. So far with 1515 Northwestern Avenue, they have also assisted with parking cars during home Purdue football games and selling lemonade, chips, Cub Scout popcorn, etc. During renovations of 1515 Northwestern Avenue, we hope to teach our children the systems of the house: electrical, plumbing, and HVAC.

Similar to 1515 Northwestern Avenue, we seek to get our children involved with setting up 725 Bexley Road as a short term rental. We also seek to have them stay involved in the operations of both short term rentals, making gifts for the guests, etc.

We welcome you to join us on this journey. We hope you as guests will return over time to see the transformation of this house. Your booking revenue is funding the renovations. Thank you!

Why they chose this property

We read The Family Board Meeting (https://www.18summers.com/book/) and realized that we only have 18 summers with our kids, currently 10, 10, 8, and 6 years old. One of our 10 year old twins has a God given talent for hospitality. Our 8 year old daughter is a natural entrepreneur. We already have a few long term rentals. We were looking for opportunities to incorporate our rental businesses with teaching our children new talents. Similar to Cleaning House (https://www.amazon.com/Cleaning-House-Twelve-Month-Experiment-Entitlement/dp/0307730670) we sought to cultivate our children's gifts and talents in entrepreneurship.
After staying in a few short term vacation rentals, we were interested in incorporating short term vacation rentals into teaching our children in the way they should go.
Destination Station (725 Bexley Road) is quite a find. Destination Station was built in 1936 (before the nearby Frank Lloyd Wright Samara House (http://samara-house.org/)). Destination Station is literally across Northwestern Avenue from Ross-Ade stadium, Mackey Arena, and near the rest of Purdue campus.
We are looking forward to the opportunity to restore this house over time. A 1936 house does not always have enough electrical outlets that work. Fortunately, Destination Station has had at least a couple of additions over time. There are two full bathrooms upstairs.

What makes this property unique

Within 0.5 miles to each of the following: Purdue including Ross-Ade Stadium and Mackey Arena, Birck golf complex, Celery Bog Nature Area, Frank Lloyd Wright's Samara House, and Faith West including a community playground and Cafe Literato.
We just hardwired an Emporia Level 2 EV Charger at Destination Station for up to 48A of charging! The charger comes with a SAE J1772 connector. Tesla drivers, please note your adapter is required. The charger has a 24' cable with integrated cable management. Just check it out in the garage (to keep the electric vehicle charging as fast as possible). Please feel free to use this charger for free as part of your booking!
If you run into any issues, please let me know. I have the Emporia app on my phone and may be able to help.
