About the host
Hosted by Marie West
We are a family-owned and operated business who truly love to travel and love hosting other travel-loving families. Casa Blanca is a beautiful home located at La Dolce Vita Estates, a property that originally began as a wedding and special event venue designed for unforgettable experiences. Over time, and with an ever-changing world, we’ve learned to adapt — growing Casa Blanca into a unique short-term rental that still allows on-site events, giving families and groups a special place to both stay and celebrate.
We spend countless hours caring for and improving this property to make it perfect for every occasion — from relaxing family vacations to meaningful celebrations. Everything you see here has been thoughtfully created to help our guests slow down, reconnect, and make memories we know will last a lifetime.
It is truly our joy to share this special place with families from all over, and we look forward to hosting you at Casa Blanca.

It is truly our joy to share this special place with families from all over, and we look forward to hosting you at Casa Blanca.
Why they chose this property
The beginning of the Texas Hill Country is something special, and Casa Blanca truly reflects that magic. The property feels less like a rental and more like your own private nature retreat. Surrounded by mature oak trees and open land, it offers the peaceful atmosphere of a state park with the comfort and convenience of a luxury estate. It’s a place where mornings are slow, evenings are golden, and memories are made naturally.
What makes this property unique
Most rentals offer a house. Casa Blanca offers a compound-style stay — two fully equipped homes, walking paths, gathering spaces, and activity areas. It allows large groups to be together while still giving families privacy, quiet spaces, and room to spread out.
