Great property with a great host!
We had a great stay in Casey! We had a group of 10 ladies, and wanted a weekend away close, but not TOO close to home, and this was perfect! We’re from St. Louis, which is about 2 1/2 hours away. We didn’t know what to expect when we planned the trip, but it turned out to be one of the most fun weekends we’ve ever had! It’s such a great, clean, friendly small town with a lot of cool places to eat and shop. The highlight was dividing into teams for a “Big Things” scavenger hunt Saturday morning. We actually rented this property and another property a couple blocks away, both hosted by Lisa! Both properties were really nice- clean, comfortable and really cute! We were able to use the golf carts to do everything and go anywhere in Casey all day and evening Saturday which was a Godsend! Lisa was an AMAZING host! She’s so nice, helpful, and gave us some great suggestions on restaurants and things to do in Casey! I’d give her and the houses we stayed in 20 stars if I could! Thanks again, Lisa!

Charming and Quaint
We went to Casey to see Barrel Racing and Pole Racing. To our surprise, the park was one block over! In the afternoon, my cousins joined us from Charleston to sightsee all the big things. We rented the golf cart which was perfect for this! We made so many memories. The house was perfect for the three of us. House is clean and had everything we needed for the weekend. Neighborhood is safe. Great communication with the owner. Easy process.

FUN GETAWAY WITH AWESEME GOLF CART
Property was very clean and super cute, everything you need for a short stay with friends and family! The golf cart was PERFECT to cruise around town and find all the BIG stuff on our check lists. Really made our trip great and Lisa was super quick to respond to messages and very helpful. We loved it and highly recommend! Back yard and porch was even very nice. Bring a wine key though - I had to use a screwdriver haha

Mad Ave By The Park… good location, quiet area, and conveniently close to Casey Fairview Park. Of course the Big Things were great to see via the golf cart. This was the second time I have stayed here, and it nice to have the conveniences of a home away from home❤️

Mini College Reunion
Girls weekend with friends from college. Lisa was so easy to work with and very quick on responses. The house was very clean and comfortable. We rented the golf cart and cruised around town taking pictures of all the “big” things, shopping in the unique shops, and eating. We throughly enjoyed our time and would gladly stay again if the occasion arises.

A Cozy retreat!
Two of my friends and I wanted to see the sights in and around Casey, IL and were searching for accommodations for an overnight stay in Casey, IL. My husband found this lovely, cozy VRBO for us! We all said we would love to stay there, as it was advertised on the website so well, and it lived up to all our expectations! It made our stay in Casey, IL, very relaxing after walking all over town! I am ready to take my husband to stay there next year, and my friends and I are also prepared to go back and explore more! Thank you for providing such a delightful home-like atmosphere for visitors to Casey, IL!

We came to Casey to see all the “largest” and found this rental through VRBO. Clean, comfy, homey, beautifully decorated - just a few things to describe it. We really enjoyed it and would definitely stay there again.

Charming Garden House
We came to see all of the "Big Things in a Small Town" and were pleasantly surprised to find this adorable house. It served our family of 6 well, even teaching my kids what it was like for me to grow up with only one bathroom! Everything was clean and furnished with all we needed. The park across the street was perfect for us to play as well as being right near everything we wanted to see. Lisa was very communicative. I highly recommend her properties.

Cute and clean house
We were in town to visit family for a few days so it was convenient for us. It gave us more space than a hotel room and felt more like a home away from home. Everything provided for you and some special touches included too. We have stayed at homes on vacation before but this was the cleanest. We will certainly stay here again because of the service and the property. Thanks for everything.

Our stay at the Gray on Madison
Our stay at the gray house on Madison Street was just perfect. The rental of the golf cart made it extremely convenient and fun! This cute house is close to the park, and just a few blocks from the downtown area, where a lot of the "Big Things" are located. The house was very clean, and just the right size for my family to have a place to rest & decompress while visiting the Casey area for a family reunion. The super host was very attentive, polite and accommodating to our needs. I highly recommend staying with this super host while visiting the Casey area.
