"We had a wonderful stay at Casey cabin with our dog Maggie. Cabin is as described, small and rustic but has everything you need and was very clean. We spent most of our time on the screened in porch or out by the lake kayaking. Our dog loved playing in the water and chasing chipmunks. Our host was very communicative and answered all my questions. There is a wooded area on one side of the cabin offering a lot of privacy and we saw all kinds of birds including a Barred owl and a Pileated Woodpecker. Thanks for a great place to stay!"
