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!

We came to Casey to see the big things with our grandchildren and were so happy with this house! It fit us perfectly and was so convenient. The golf cart made it even more fun and we hope to return with another group of grandkids.

Cottage By The Park

What a wonderful place to stay for a unique visit to Casey! Enjoyed everything about the house, location is great, across the street from a beautiful park. Would definitely recommend visiting and get the golf cart for running around town, the granddaughters loved it! Check out the L & L's Virtual Adventures for sure and definitely try the pretzel place Tetzel Time, fabulous pretzels! We loved everything about Casey and of course this Cottage!

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!

Loved Casey

My sisters, niece and I came to see the BIG things in Casey, and even though there was a lot of walking involved and we had a golf cart it was an enjoyable experience for our 1st trip. The rental was a great fit for us all and would love to visit again sometime, when we have more time. Thank you again Lisa

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!!

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!

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.

Reunion

Property was perfect for reunion of college friends from 57 years ago. Made lots of use of rockers on front porch to catch up on visiting. Lovely decor. Only suggestion is need of detailed directions how to run a smart tv to get regular stations when we operators were 75 and didn’t know how!!

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.

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!
