Quick stay in Casey
We stopped in for 1 day. The town of Casey is fun. This property is only about a 10 min walk from main street and directly adjacent to a great park. The house has easy parking, a nice front porch, spacious kitchen and living room, and a 3 really nice bedrooms.

First Visit to Casey
Our group came in to see the Big Things in town. Had a great time. Loved the house and location with Park across the street. Sat on front porch and enjoyed the sound of the fountain in the Park. Very relaxing weekend.

Home Away From Home
We were only here for an overnight on our way across the country, but the house was fantastic! The kitchen was beautiful, and the whole house was so comfy & cozy - we felt right at home as soon as we walked in the door. Lisa is a wonderful host, and communication was clear & prompt. It was an easy walk to see all of the Big Things & have dinner in town. Thank you so much for a great stay!

Family Easter
It was a great place for us to stay! My two grown children, their spouses, and grandchild joined us! We were able to enjoy family and friends, shopped in Casey, children’s museum in Terre Haute, family dinner cookout on Saturday and Easter egg hunt on Sunday! All at various places. My granddaughter loved being able to walk to the playground. Met Tammy and she is a jewel!

Quick trip to see all the big things...
We stayed here for a night to explore all the big things. Staying at Lisa's place made this quick little trip so special, and honestly more fun. The minute we pulled up we were so pleased. The interior was very clean, and decorated very well. The park across the street is so nice, and the porch out front is too cute. We rented the golf cart, and it was well worth it. Cruising the town in the cart was the best. I highly recommend staying here!!

Cottage by the park
Cottage was clean and attractive. Great location. Golf cart was a big hit with getting around to see The Big Things. Only slight downside did not see text to start sheets in laundry and run dishwasher until we were checking out. A check out sheet would have been helpful. Overall enjoyed our stay.

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

Family wedding
Location of this property you can’t beat. We were only 10 min from family and just minutes from everything Casey has to offer. we enjoyed the park and pond across street. We even had a family pizza dinner at park one evening at tables. We will come back again.

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.
