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

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.

Big Things!
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.

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

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!

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!

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!!

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!

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.

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.
