The defining feature of Casa Cascada (“House of the Waterfalls”) is the natural swimming pool and waterfalls fed from the Florida aquifer. The spring water is filtered even more through a water garden that functions as a biological filter, and run through a UV sanitizer before being aerated in the waterfalls. The pure, chemical-free water feels silky to the skin, and quite different from a chlorinated pool. Any overflow from the pool and water garden is returned to the aquifer.

There are free 110 and 220 volt charging outlets in the parking lot if you have an electric vehicle.

Orlando International Airport is one hour away by car, but also accessible by light rail and bus. A bus terminal is two blocks away.

San Augustine, the oldest European-established continuously occupied city in the contiguous U.S., was founded by the Spanish in 1565. It’s an easy day trip from DeLand being only one hour’s drive.

DeLand’s pedestrian friendly, award-winning downtown has 68 historic buildings, with its charming restaurants, sidewalk cafes, museums, antique stores, and other shops. The main street, one block from Casa Cascada, is periodically shut down for various art shows, parades, and other events.

Every Friday night there is a farmer’s market at Artisan Alley three blocks away, close to the historic Athen’s theater. DeLand is known as “The Athens of Florida” because of Stetson University. It is also known as the “Skydiving capital of the country” because of the versatile DeLand Airport and the excellent weather. 

The Artisan, a boutique hotel, restaurant, and bar is one block away.

A tree-lined bicycle and pedestrian trail runs next to Casa Cascada connecting to Stetson University. Two blocks to the south is Earl Brown Park, with its small lake and fountains. Various art festivals and an annual fireworks display is held here every year. Stetson football and baseball stadiums are adjacent to the park.

Casa Cascada takes you to another world, while also being the gateway to the world around you in Central Florida.
