Casey's Cabins

3.0 star property
7.8 out of 10, Good, (59)
"the cabin is set back from the main street and the other cabins so it is more private which i liked. the cielings are low for a tall person and the spaces are tight, especiallythe hallway, it's a little more "rustic" for me personally and there isn't any outdoor space to eat and just hang out. the location though and the hosts made it easy to overlook the flaws. The hosts were great and very responsive. i would rent again!"
