The house is lovely and super clean. The beds were comfortable and there's lots of room to move in the bathrooms. The house is located across the street from the park, which was lovely for morning and evening walks. Casey is a cute town to visit. We enjoyed our stay!

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!

Park like setting/Small town charm

My husband and I took a short trip to Casey to visit this quaint little town with the Big Things. While we were there, we enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Lisa was so quick to respond to any questions we had. The home was very clean and roomy. We loved sitting on the huge porch, watching and listening to the birds, squirrels, and other little animals hanging out in the yard and in Fairview Park. The park is right across the street and has a nice big pond where some people were fishing, and it had a big playground with lots of little ones enjoying it. It also has great walking paths that we took advantage of while enjoying the beautiful weather. When we went into town, we got a map of where all the Big Things are located and started our hunt. There were 35 items (some in town/some in other local areas). It was a lot of fun! We enjoyed a couple of the local restaurants Richards and Crazy 8 BBQ. Love the peanut pie at Crazy 8s! Already thinking about visiting again in the Fall.

Location, Location, Location

We arrived a little after 4 pm after spending a number of hours sightseeing in town. The home is cozy, but the online pictures make it look bigger than it is, someone is really great with camera angles. Since we didn't have meals here we didn't look in the cabinets to see how many of everything there was? Lisa, the manager does try to get back to you quickly when you have questions, so that's a plus. But, I noticed that there was no book, or paper outlining any items that needed to be done when checking out, we all searched for it! So we checked out at 8 am and I received an email at 9:11 asking us to do certain things before we left. This wouldn't of been a problem if we had known ahead of time. It's the first time I have ever had this happen since everywhere else there is a book that lists what you are to do before leaving. So for this main reason I've not given this a five star review. Lisa, you as questions, But, this is
