We rented Casa Blanca for a family gathering in conjunction with Iron Man. The property is fantastic and the location is also fantastic sitting just minutes from downtown Lake Placid. Hiking trails are within walking distance and the area is very quiet. The hot tub and fire pit outside were put to good use along with the kitchen and huge dining area.

Casa Blanca is an exceptional house with plenty of space and things to do on the property. Beautiful views and ideal quiet location. The house is nicely updated and the WiFi is super fast! Working with Ann was excellent. She treated us like family and was always available. She gave us great tips about the house and activities in the area. Looking forward to coming back next year. Highly recommend.

Martha, manager and owner as one person, extremely kind, enthusiastic, and full of passion, she took our group in the check in day for a turn around her beautiful house.
The location is excellent, close to Olympic Ski Complex, close to the Lake Placid town, all kind of hike trails, and to go just to relax in a beautiful countryside. We highly recommend everyone, especially for a larger group. Martha, thank you for everything ❤️

There is much to like about this property but there were some issues. First the good:
The location is excellent, close to Lake Placid town, yet out in beautiful countryside. The back yard was lovely, beautiful plantings. Beautiful view.
The house is definitely large enough for a large family with plenty of room to spread out, adequate indoor seating.
The kitchen was incredible, anything you want to cook with and a large fridge.
The negatives:
We got a bad first impression at check in. The owner took an inordinate amount of time to show us around including areas such as son's weight room, that we weren't allowed to use. We were tired and still had to unload, settle, cook dinner. A shorter tour would have sufficed.
She kept telling us that this is the house she lives in year round and by the end of the tour we felt uncomfortable with the idea that we were in her personal space . The house had a sweet chemical smell that made us sneeze. Finally figured out it was those little plug in air fresheners. We unplugged them and opened windows and all was well. But the overall vibe was more suburban home than Adirondack Mountains, so not really the vacation feel we were hoping for.
Practically speaking it is a large home, but the appliances were all those small ones used in apartments (to be fair, there are two sets of washer/dryers but both small). Dishwasher also smaller size so that we had to run it frequently.
My initial negative impression was reinforced by the mold I discovered in the coffee pot from an old filter that had never been emptied.
Lastly, the description was inaccurate. Hot tub fit 6, not 12 as advertised (which was no problem since we never wanted to all sit in it at once, still it should have been accurate). It is not in walking distance of hiking trails - they are nearby but would take quite a while to walk to, and fooseball table was broken. The promised ping pong table didn't arrive until half-way through the stay. Even more problematic, Her grandson showed up with it at 9 am without calling first to make sure people were up and about. He did come back later at my request, but seemed surprised that we would have wanted to know that they were coming.
Lastly, the outdoor furniture was old and not really comfortable, and there weren't enough chairs for outdoor eating table so we were unable to take advantage of the lovely setting for meals.
I will say the house grew on me over the week, and we did have a lovely time.
