Never had the chance to meet Casey or his family, but check in was very easy! He was friendly over message and easy to communicate with. We were really impressed with how clean, spacious, and cute everything was! It was a great place to stay after a long night of driving. We wish we could have stayed longer to play with all the games and read all the books. Their cat Karl was ridiculously cute and friendly. 10/10 would recommend and we would definitely stay here again if we come back to Oregon.
