About this property

The Trillium House at DePauw - 4/5 BR 3.5 BA

Welcome to the enchanting Trillium House located ON the campus of DePauw University. We are just a few doors south of FIJI, Theta, Longden Hall, and Bishop Roberts.
Step back in time as you walk in from the covered porch into the fabulous, 1890 Victorian that features 4(5) Bedrooms (3 Queens, 1 Twin, and a Day bed with pull out trundle) and 3.5 bathrooms fully stocked with towels, soaps, and hairdryers. Inside you'll be greeted by 14 foot ceilings, large windows trimmed in rich, dark woodwork. Don't forget to play a game of cards at in the DePauw Sports themed Game room or host a large gathering for a meal around a table that seats 8 comfortably. Then head out the back door to find a 1/2+ acre enclosed yard that will provide lovely evenings around a gas firepit in Adirondak chairs under large trees.
For 130+ yrs, this has been home to notable members of the Greencastle and DePauw Community. We have verified that even Percy Julian met with the Physics club in this place!
This phenomenal property is perfect for families or groups of friends (especially parents of DePauw students looking to be close to campus as well as returning DePauw alumni).

Immerse yourself in the gorgeous surroundings and make unforgettable memories during your stay. Fall in love with Greencastle again and enjoy the magic Trillium has to offer.

About the host

Hosted by T Ray & Tia Philips

Host profile image
We are DePauw Alumni (graduates 1991 - T. Ray was a Phi Psi and Tia was an Alpha Phi). We have lived in Indianapolis since graduation. We have always loved to travel but as our kids arrived, we pivoted to using VRBO for our accommodations as they provided much more flexibility and variety.

When our children went to DePauw (Thomas graduated 2024 and Audrey will graduate in 2026) we often stayed at a VRBO location but we realized there were too few.

Tia ignited the spark to acquire a property to serve the many families that travel to DePauw to see their kids for athletic or performance events. We wanted it to be close to campus so they can enjoy the environment we all grew to love.

We were lucky to have found this property with rich history of DePauw and Greencastle.

Why they chose this property

Absolutely intended to be a part of the DePauw landscape and due to its location on So College Ave close to dorms and fraternities - as well as a quick/easy walk to Blackstock Stadium - it made perfect sense. We heard too often from other families frustrated with having to rent a hotel in Cloverdale or even in Plainfield.

What makes this property unique

The fact that it was built in 1890 (the same year as the first Monon Bell Game) and has had a long history and ties with DePauw professors and famous alumni. It's also UNIQUELY centrally located on campus.... 3 doors south of Theta and Longden and 2 doors down from Fiji. 2 min walk access to Bishop Roberts, Humbert and Vernon Jordan Hall make it amazingly easy for families to use it as a gathering spot.

It has a 2/3 acre fenced in back yard which is very unique to gather post events and enjoy the outside. Parking is easy as there are many spots along the front and then offstreet parking in back (with a garage if that's also required).

The ability for it to be a 5 Bedroom house with plenty of space (and sleeps 9 comfortably - 12 max w/ air mattresses) as well as a large family room w/ attached game room give it a very cozy feel.
