You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
The Major Dunbar Home
As the closest residential home to the DePauw University main campus, our neighborhood is shared by several campus buildings and student residences. To the rear is the Delta Tau Delta fraternity house. You may occasionally hear music playing during the day or in the evening. The members of the house are careful to end all activities by a reasonable hour, so you likely won't be disturbed, but please be aware of this when classes are in session if events are taking place.
Our neighbors across the street are members of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house. They are equally cautious about being respectful of the neighborhood by keeping things quiet and you shouldn't be bothered by them, but just a heads up if you see any activity in their front yard.
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from DePauw University. Laundry facilities are available. The holiday home offers a kitchen and 3 bathrooms.

Wonderful Home!
Can’t wait to come back! This home was much better than advertised. Historical touches and exquisite hardwood accents throughout the house. Kitchen was perfect and sleeping accommodations were just what our family needed. Quiet neighborhood and easy check-in and checkout process!

Groomsman Home for the Weekend
I booked this property for the groomsman party of my friend’s wedding and it was great. There was plenty of space for us all to be comfortable and get ready for the wedding. The wedding venue, Owl Ridge, was only 5 minutes away. A coffee shop was also in walking distance.
Communication with the host was very efficient and simple. It was a great weekend
