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.

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.

It was fine. The decorations are cute. The house is pretty small. It was turnover clean, as in clean counters and linens. It could use a good deep cleaning.

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

Fun Evening in Casey

We booked our stay in Casey the last night of our Colorado trip so we would be about an 8 hour drive from home. Casey was a surprisingly fun place to spend an evening. Casey has a number of “the world’s biggest” items including the world’s largest mailbox that you can go inside. We had a lot of fun going throughout the town discovering these largest things and taking pictures. The house met all our needs. It has a large porch to sit on and is across the street from a park. We greatly enjoyed our stay.

The best Girls’ weekend ever!

My friend and I decided to kidnap 8 of our closest friends and take them to Casey for the weekend! They had no idea where we were going, and Casey didn’t disappoint! We rented this house, and another one hosted by Lisa 2 blocks away. We were able to rent the golf carts for Saturday, which was a Godsend, as the town of Casey allows them on the street! We had a lot of fun! We broke them into two teams for a scavenger hunt for all of the “Big Things” on Saturday morning , and just really enjoyed this small, clean, friendly town the rest of our stay! Both properties were amazing! This one has a porch across the entire front of the house, and we spent a lot of time in the morning and evenings hanging out there, looking across the street at the park and the lake. The house was really clean and modern, and had everything an out of town visitor could want. The other house was just as clean and cute, but most of our time was spent here because it’s a little bigger, and because of the front porch! We were able to use the REALLY NICE golf carts to go back and forth between houses, and we drove them everywhere we went in Casey! Lisa is an AMAZING host! She was so nice, and so quick to help out and answer any questions and give recommendations on where to go in Casey! 10 stars! Thank you, Lisa!
