Although we were there for a 60th birthday party which was not too far from there, this was a perfect distance to the casino as well. It takes a little less than 11 mins to get there only because the drive into the reservation is long and the speed limit is 45mph. And if you get stuck behind someone going slower as we encountered several times, it can take longer. But rest assured, this is very close to the casino. There is a convenience store around the corner from the rental that has everything you need especially if you are going to stay a few days or an extended period of time. Getting to restaurants is a little far as they only have a Church's Chicken in the area. Over all this was a great place to stay at even though we were only there one night. The only negative I have is that it's a two story house and it has A LOT of stairs to get up there! lol But both bedrooms up there have FULL bathrooms which is unheard of for rentals. The downstairs had everything you needed (living room, dining area, full kitchen). Another small negative is that there is no grass outside. It was all rocks and gravel. It stormed that night and the next morning was a little muddy but not too bad since it was mostly rocks.
Overall, great place to stay if you want to go to the casino and not drive far!
