Yes, the kitchen was stocked for cooking and plenty of dinner service wear. Hot tub seemed hot. Everything was clean and functional, plenty of bathrooms, and the proximity to Purdue U can't be beat.

5 out of 5 stars. The property was clean, well maintained, and suited our family exactly right. Each of the bedrooms were spacious and the beds were exceptional. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in back yard. The jacuzzi was a real treat after much exploring of the Purdue campus. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. We hope to return again soon!
