OUR STORY

Step through the doors of Casa Bella and step back into history…a nearly one-hundred-year tradition of warm hospitality, food, and drink. Although Casa Bella opened its doors in 2006 in its present incarnation, our story began in the winter of 1924-25, when the Arthur D. Crane Company purchased 100 acres of land in Denville, NJ including a small lake called Protectory Pond, from the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother of St. Francis. In the spring of 1926, a log cabin sales office was built, and development of Lake Arrowhead was underway. That simple log cabin is now the proud home of Casa Bella. Of course, there were many changes over the decades. The Lake Arrowhead Club was founded in 1927 and the log cabin at the entrance to the lake became Lake Arrowhead Restaurant, “the” social gathering place for residents for years. It later became the Arrowhead Tea Tavern, after that the Flintlock Restaurant and was even rumored to be a speakeasy during Prohibition. Now home to Casa Bella, it is with great pleasure and pride that we invite you join us as we celebrate daily a century of hospitality.
