Lovely house

This is a beautiful and well-maintained historic home. The accommodations were top-notch. House is close to restaurants but on a quiet street. Stayed with friends and visited with our sons who are university students. This location was perfect for us; we plan to return again.

lovely home in Lafayette

We had an amazing stay at this wonderful home. The home is gorgeous. We loved the historic charm and all of the older details in the home. The home is set up to be a wonderful and convenient home away from home. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you might need for cooking. We also greatly appreciated all of the extra conveniences (toiletries, tissues, etc.). The owners clearly lovingly care for their home and have thought of everything guests might need for a wonderful stay. We can't wait to stay there again!

Absolutely Beautiful Home

Our family was visiting from Cleveland for our son to tour the Purdue University. The home was an easy walk from Lafayette to the campus. There are plenty of restaurants also within walking distance. The home was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. In the backyard is a great patio to enjoy. Unfortunately, we were only there for one night but wish we had stayed longer. I highly recommend this home!!

Birthday Gathering

Just had a couple of my best girlfriends over, and threw myself a birthday party while staying at this gorgeous home! I live in town but wanted to splurge on a getaway without going far! Amazing host, amazing attention to details of guest pampering. I felt like I was in a bougee hotel, but at the same time feels like the comforts of grandmas house! Kitchen was furnished with everything we needed for cooking and serving! I would definitely recommend and would definitely be back!!

Wonderful stay for our family of 5 at this beautiful house in downtown Lafayette. Adorable private backyard with patio seating and lovely garden where we enjoyed morning coffee and evening cocktails. Details and small touches throughout - coffee (both drip and pods), box fans in each closet, nice towels, great bedding and luxurious mattress toppers (beds are fantastic), smart lighting, comfortable furniture, clear instructions plus restaurant/travel suggestions in a welcome binder...and many others. All 3 bedrooms are upstairs. 2 full baths upstairs, and it was great having the half bath downstairs. Two private parking spaces in the back alley worked well for our mid-sized vehicles.

College visit for future teacher

Very nice place to stay. The circuit breaker did trip but only lost electricity to sauna. It’s possible it affected the air conditioning as well. Not real sure cuz it was a very hot day and the bedrooms are upstairs. It was warm but not so much that we couldn’t sleep. Maggie did message me but didn’t see it until next day. I have a suggestion to put grab bars in the bathrooms. Overall nice place to stay. Clean and good location.

Booked this house - wanting to be close to the St. Boniface Germanfest…we were literally at their entrance. It was a perfect house for us this weekend. The house was super clean, the beds very comfy, and the amenities were wonderful! The location was perfect for the festival ans also for the downtown restaurants and shops. We loved the big round table for games and eating!! Great house!!

Perfect!

Historic charm meets hotel luxury in this gem. We rented it for our son's graduation and it could not have been more perfect. Location/proximity to Purdue's campus was easy, the flat is spacious and generously accommodated a brunch for 6 which allowed us to spend quality time together as a family and not have to fight brunch crowds elsewhere. The kitchen (and all other rooms) is thoughtfully appointed with everything you need to cook with ease on site. Maggie was great to work with and very responsive. I can't say enough good things. It was the perfect rental for a very special weekend.

About the host

Hosted by Maggie L

Host profile image
Well, hello there! My name is Maggie and I love connecting with people on shared interests. As we all do, I wear many hats. I am a daughter, sister, wife, mom, homeschool teacher, operations manager for a dental office, and now a property manager for the most charming historic home in Downtown Lafayette! I just hit "the big one" in birthday candles and now that I'm "over the hill" I find myself even more resolved to make the most of our short time here on earth. I love having friends and family over in our home and feel like the Weygold House is just an extra place where my family and I can extend that care and hospitality to others. We have had wonderful, memory making short term vacation rental stays and hope to provide many memories for our guests for years to come.

Why they chose this property

Welcome to the Weygold House! You are invited to fall in love with it as we have! After our initial "oohs" and "ahhs" as we toured the home, we became curious about its story. Who lived here? Where were they from? What major life events has this house played a part in? Come join us as we discover more about the 3 generations of Weygolds who lived and worked and enjoyed this beautiful home in all its stately grandeur.

What makes this property unique

These are a few of my favorite things:

+ Glorious front double door entry
+ Historic beauty and charm
+ Renovated kitchen with a quick heating induction stove and quality drinking water
+ Oasis from the hustle of downtown with a towering hedge of Arborvitae trees and comfortable bench
+ Shutters on all the extra tall windows!
+ Ceiling height! (I'm 6'0" tall and I feel small)
+ Walking distance from my favorite two restaurants in town, Revolution BBQ and East End Grill
