    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.

    Secluded, Near Lake & Fantastic Restaraunts!

    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.

    Great Place!!!!

    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
