My husband and I recently spent a few days at Casa del Sol for our anniversary. It had been many years since we spent time in the Austin area. When we get away on a mini-vacation for just the two of us, we generally like cities/towns with a much slower pace than Austin. However, we found this B&B via TripAdvisor and it looked nice, and far enough outside of busy downtown Austin that we decided to give it a try. It was perfect! The area around Lake Travis is really beautiful. Casa del Sol sits up on a hill with a lovely view. We stayed in the smaller Golden Sun Cottage. It was just a bedroom with a small bathroom and small kitchen. It was nicely furnished and very comfortable. Doug and Cata were very kind and wonderful hosts. The grounds were beautiful, the pool was nice....but cold, probably because of the heavy rains that had gone through the night before we arrived. We did brave the cold water and get in for a few minutes one afternoon, but couldn't stay in for very long. Hopefully the water is not always that cold! Overall, Casa del Sol is a wonderful place to rest and relax....and/or to use as a home base if you are planning to get out daily and do activities around the Austin area as we did. We would definitely stay here again.
