The house is exactly as you see online. The communication with Lisa was expedient. The entry was easy. The location is right across the street from a park with walking paths. It was nice to be able to do laundry and to go home with clean clothes. The kitchen was stocked so dinner and breakfast prep was no problem. The beds were comfortable. The hot shower, soaking tub, and plush towels were appreciated. Coffee pods and hot chocolate mix were provided. The living space had great lighting for games, and we enjoyed watching Netflix. Thank, Lisa, for a great stay!

Fantastic property exactly as listed! Perfect location for the wedding we attended in nearby Marshall (15 min away), and the option to rent the golf cart was a fun way to get around town to see the BIG things. Lisa was the perfect host in close comminication through the entire process. Highly recommend!

Was in a nice neighborhood and was very good for the 4 people in my party, we each had a bed and 2 bathrooms work great for getting ready in the morning. Casey was a great little town and kept us busy all day long. The house could use some baking pans.

We had a wonderful time! Lisa took great care of us. The house was super cute and conveniently located close to town and across from the park. We had so much fun running around the charming town on the golf cart we rented from Lisa.

Our trip to Casey was short but sweet! Lisa's property is perfectly located across the street from a beautiful park and close to the "big things". The house was very clean, had all the amenities we needed and you can even rent the golf cart. We were lucky enough to have a storm roll in so we got to sit, watch and relax on the porch.

Great house to stay at!

The place was clean and had all that my family needed to enjoy our stay. Having 2 bathrooms was nice for my family. It is right across from a nice park and just a few minute drive from downtown Casey where all the big things area. If we stop in Casey again we'll be looking to stay here!
