Welcome to Casa del Sol, at Lake Travis. We are a small B&B with a laid-back Southwestern flavor. We have a lovely view of Lake Travis from a spacious deck, and a private pool and hot-tub.
There are 2 guest accommodations in a very private and peaceful, secluded garden setting, with plenty of parking for cars and boats. (Boat launch is 2 minutes away). Enjoy the romantic 2-room Lavender Suite, with view of the lake from the picture window and deck. Or relax in the Southwestern style private cottage, with a fully tiled kitchenette. Both rooms open onto a view of the lake and pool, and we are 2 minutes from a wonderful park at the lake.
You can soak in the hot-tub, lounge on a raft in the pool, read and relax in the hammock. Relax and read to the sound of the pool and pond fountains. There is a small meditation garden and trail, a gazebo, lots of bird feeders, and bird baths, and birds, birds, birds!!! The flavor is relaxed, romantic, secluded, green and peaceful!!
We accept all major credit cards.
