Very nice place! The location is amazing! You are in your own little nook with an incredible view of the water! We enjoyed the donkeys up on the hill looking at us wondering who we were. The hot tub and fire pit was relaxing and used almost every night. We loved how the house was laid out for our entire family to enjoy meals, game time and fun conversations. Will definitely stay here again!

Gorgeous Oasis

Easily the nicest place we’ve ever stayed in. Beautiful, comfortable and tucked away from everything. Plenty of outdoor space and an amazing view of the lake. It was exactly what our family of 4 needed for fall break.

House was beautiful. We came for a three day weekend and couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen well stocked. The deck was huge and the views absolutely gorgeous. We will definitely be back!

Center Hill House

House was decorated to give a feeling of calmness. Master suite upstairs had a panoramic view of the lake. The large covered deck with gas fireplace was so nice.

Great House and Getaway

Beautiful house, location, was a perfect getaway. Already booked another stay in the spring. One super minor thing was the microwave didn’t work. Hopefully they’ll fix that before my next stay.

Highly Recommend

My husband and I snuck away to Casa Blanca for a rest & relaxation weekend & the property did not disappoint. Far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet and close enough to find a bite to eat. The home is beautifully decorated and the views are amazing. Highly recommend!

Family get together

My son lives in the area and my daughter and I came to visit for the weekend. The property is spectacular! It is beautiful and very well decorated. The photos don’t do it justice. Using the hot tub and fire pit was great! The large porch and setting was perfect!

Tranquil/Beautiful Property!

The house is fantastic - such a great space with many wonderful amenities in a beautiful location. The property overlooks picturesque Center Hill Lake, which is visible from the massive back porch and the hot tub/firepit area, and also from the primary suite which has a cozy balcony - the perfect place for reading a book in the morning or enjoying a cocktail in the evening. There are many nearby hiking trails that feature fantastic waterfalls. Each day we spent time exploring many of these attractions.There were only two of us, but the house has ample space for a larger group. And, although our pups didn't use it, there was a luxurious suite for pets! We highly recommend vacationing at this property - you won't be disappointed!
