So glad to hear this, thank you! We’re really happy the space worked out perfectly for your event and that everything felt well suited for your group. We always try to think through the little details ahead of time, so it means a lot to hear that came through. Hope we get the chance to host you again soon!
The property is absolutely stunning and we really enjoyed our stay! Would definitely rent it again and would recommend it to others.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the property and had a great stay. It means a lot that you’d recommend it to others, and we’d love to host you again anytime you’re back in the area!
What a cool location! This was perfect for our group of five families with kids ranging from 5-17. The grounds are sprawling enough for kids to run around without worrying about disturbing neighbors, and we loved having access to the pool, pickleball, etc. Just a quick drive to San Marcos and New Braunfels recreation areas.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re really glad the property worked well for your group and that the kids had plenty of space to run around and just be kids. It’s great to hear you were able to enjoy the pool, pickleball, and everything else on-site, as well as the easy access to San Marcos and New Braunfels.
Sounds like you all made some great memories, hope to host you again for another family getaway soon!
Everything was great. The property accommodated our group of 21 easily. Everyone particularly enjoyed the blackjack table in the game room and the hot tub outside. When we flipped a breaker the host communicated with us quickly and had us back up and running without delay. Will definitely be back

Thanks so much for the great review! We’re really glad the property fit your group of 21 comfortably and that the game room blackjack table and hot tub were a hit, that sounds like a pretty fun stay!
We appreciate you being patient when the breaker tripped, and we’re happy we could get things back up and running quickly for you.
Would love to host you all again anytime!
Lovely, secluded, private location in the hill country not far from interstate 35. Nicely maintained. Plenty of room for my family of 29 including adults and children. Check in time was a later than originally stated, but owner was very accommodating.

Thank you so much for staying with us! We’re really glad your family enjoyed the privacy, space, and hill country setting, it’s a special spot for getting everyone together, and it sounds like it worked perfectly for your group.
We appreciate your understanding about the slightly later check-in and are happy we could accommodate you. Hosting groups like yours is exactly what we love doing, and we’d be glad to welcome you back anytime!
Our stay was a wonderful experience. Had trouble with the hot tub and the jets didn’t work in the tub in master bedroom. Just some little things. We had a great time and would definitely recommend it for family reunions. Everyone enjoyed the pool and the activities in the big tent.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for the thoughtful feedback! We’re really glad to hear your group had a wonderful time overall and that the pool and big tent activities were a highlight for everyone, sounds like a great family reunion.
We’re sorry you ran into a couple of hiccups with the hot tub and the master tub jets. Those are exactly the kinds of “little things” we want to stay ahead of, and we appreciate you letting us know. We’ll be taking a closer look to make sure everything is working as it should.
We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to host your family again in the future!
We had a wonderful holiday here. It’s such a beautiful setting and very safe. The children could just roam the property and play. Huge tent where we played pickle ball. Great for a large group! We would definitely come back!
The house setup was ideal for us and our 3 grown children and their families. We made good use of the casita for one of the families and the rest of us fit comfortably in the house, With the games, pool, and pickleball court, there were ample activities to keep people of all ages occupied. The location near all of the outdoor activities and restaurants in New Braunfels was ideal. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.
We took a group of high school seniors down for a graduation trip. We had both houses full of kids! They had a blast! The houses are both beautifully kept! They had everything we needed for our large group. So easy to communicate with owners for any questions we had. We will definitely be booking again!

We hope you return and we’re so glad to hear that your seniors had a memorable trip!
We were a group little more than 30 people and the property was nice but the interior seemed like old fashioned. Nice place to hang out with large group and had a good time overall.
Pros:
Good outside scenic views.
Nice places to take pictures.
Very spacious outside.
Nice place for kids/adults to play next to the guest house.
Very fast response communication from the supervisor.
Cons:
The bigger stove burner in the kitchen didn't work and the maintenance staff were not able to fix it and we had to be there without that burner.
Saw a mouse multiple times just roaming around inside the house and the glass area above the kitchen. Called the supervisor and they came and put some mouse traps too but of no use.
The grill near the pool was not cleaned properly.
The trash bags were not sufficient for our group.
There were a couple of neighbor's dogs that showed up on the property and eventually the maintenance staff and the dog owners stopped by to take the dogs away.
Overall the house was a great fit for our family of 18 that stayed. The bunk room you had to go through the master bedroom to get to it which I did not realize. There is a lock on the door to the bunk room from the master bedroom and if you’re in the bunk room, there’s a door that goes to the wraparound porch. From there, you were able to come back inside the house through another door that’s on the wraparound porch, hard to explain. The bunk room was a great area for the kids, lots of beds. The only issue was that the room would get a little warm, but there was a fan available that helped move the air around for The split AC unit. There was not central heat and air in that particular room that I could tell.The main house has two bedrooms, the master bedroom and a bunk room, there is an additional house behind the main house that has three bedroomsThe grounds were beautiful and well maintained. We utilized the pool daily.
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.
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.
