Casa del Sol at Lake Travis B&B

Got married just down the road at Lake Travis and it was just a few minutes away after we left our wedding. Doug and Cata were awesome. Place looked amazing, all the pics cannot really show you this amazing little place. My wife (originally from Austin) said this was typical Austin and was thankful I found this cozy gem. It was perfect spot for us to tour the Hill Country wineries and enjoy a bottle of Cabernet in the hot tub underneath a blanket of Texas stars. Cannot wait to come back and celebrate an anniversary at Casa Del Sol!

This property and suite was the most private and relaxing places we have stayed. We enjoyed every second! Romantic but also very suited for a man as well. I talked my hubby into a gorgeous leather sofa like theirs for our home; the front blew in and we snuggled in on theirs for a movie and appreciating the real wood fire. The suite allowed us to spend most of our time enjoying the property. The hot tub under the stars, with beautiful views of the lake and lights sealed the deal. The pool was perfect for larger groups as well. There was plenty of spots to lounge, even an outdoor shower. We thought it would be possible to have an intimate wedding there. We thought we might have used a microwave but they had plenty of beautiful dishes to eat in meals there. They had real wine glasses for sitting in front of the fire and watching a movie. We express appreciation to the owners for accommodating us at the last minute; it was a perfect place for recharging !

We were there for four days and it was so nice and romantic (as much as can be with a four year old along). Our cottage was so romantically decorated! We had a small kitchen with all appliances needed. The property was clean and well cared for. The owner, Doug, was very nice and helpful but also gave us our space. I am so ready to go back to this BB!!!

My husband and I just spent this past weekend (April 1-3 2011) here. We were absolutely thrilled with the room and the privacy.Along with a romantic flair too. We needed some quiet,relaxing, LAZY time and that is exactly what we got here. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area if you are looking for that . Such peaceful surroundings made it well worth the stay. The room was very clean and Doug took care of everything. Fresh pastries,fruit,coffee& coffee cream. What we liked MOST was there was not a CLOCK of any kind in the room. Small thing,but when you live your lives on schedules during the week that was a nice plus to us. Only down side was, there was a BIG golf tourney on TV(Shell Open) and there was no ESPN in the room. Wasn't a down side for me,only hubby.:) We recommend this B&B highly if you are looking for "down" time.

My husband and I, in need of a short mental break from the daily grind, wanted a private place to unwind but near the lake for quick swims and near great food to dine out. Casa Del Sol was just right. With only two cottages on site, we had the hot tub and pool to ourselves both days (day and night). It was quiet-no kids running around...could read a book and listen to the birds sing. The pool and hot tub were clean-a must! The owner was there when you needed him but respectful enough to give you privacy as well. The food in the immediate area was outstanding-4/5 star places like Hudson on the Bend or more moderate priced but exceptional food like Rocco's, Floras or Sandy's for a quick burger. If you're looking for peaceful, this little place tucked away near the lake is great.

My name is Brenda Conn anad I am very delighted to reccommend Casa de Sol to any and all my friends/family. It was a fabulous weekend getawa. From the moment I entered the bamboo gate, I felt like I was in a secluded, tropical paradise...very peaceful, serene and romantic. The owner, Doug, greeted me with fruit, pasteries and a very welcoming smile. I could go on & on...but bottom line is....it is close in to Austin and it is just what we were looking for. Thank you so much, Doug, for having such a charming retreat. We,ll definitely see you again!! Brenda

If you are looking for a charming place to stay with a beautiful view and tranquil surroundings, then this is the place for you. We will be back!

Wonderfull service. Very nice place to enjoy some relaxing days. The rooms are lovely and the garden is so relaxing. Doug was very helpful with tips and very attentive.

Doug & Cata have created a serene oasis -- gorgeous big trees, pretty flowers and plants, lake views, and an inviting pool/deck area. Our suite was very large and even had DVDs and board games to play! You don't really need to leave the B&B. Doug was present to answer our questions about where to eat, provide daily fresh fruit and pastries, and to send us the items we left in the closet (thank you). We recommend a dip in the pool during the evening hours! Kirstie & Greg Bowen, Dallas, TX

Looking for some downtime to relax, enjoy scenery, bird watching and great sevice; not to mention the romantic atmosphere...this is the place.

If you are looking to get away from it all--this is your place!!!! My husband and I stayed in the Golden Sun and the Lavender Suite and enjoyed our stay in both rooms. Just 5 to 10 minutes drive time to the Oasis and Mansfield Dam Park (great boat launch).

Another outstanding visit, our 4th in 6 years. Gracious hosts, great food, a real relaxing atmosphere by and/or in the pool. Would recommend to anyone!

Everything was perfect! It was so hard for us to leave! We will be back soon! Thank you for our much needed R & R!

Very nice inn; would stay there again.

We shared the most invigorating weekend at Casa Del Sol! It is tucked away in serene seclusion but is conveniently located to all of the Austin hot spots. The innkeepers take attention to detail, ambiance and atmosphere to another level.
