The Studio at Casa Cascada. A ground floor studio suite in a stunning oasis

The Studio at Casa Cascada is a destination, resort-style, private guest house set in a lush, tropical oasis featuring a natural swimming pool and waterfalls. It was designed and built by the host, artist Michael E. Arth (Michaelearth.com), and finished in 2025.
Located in downtown DeLand’s Historic Garden District, it is an ideal hub from which to explore the endless attractions that DeLand and Central Florida have to offer.

DeLand’s award-winning downtown, including historic structures dating back as far as the 1880s, is located midway between Daytona Beach and Orlando, being only thirty minutes in either direction. New Smyrna Beach, a Mecca for surfing and other water sports on Florida’s “Fun Coast,” is even closer. DeLand is also located close to various large springs and nature preserves, as well as the St. John’s River.

This listing is for the ground floor, wheelchair accessible “Studio,” a bedroom suite with a kitchenette. The dramatic bedroom has a queen bed that faces an antique Indian bookshelf. The living and media room offers high speed fiber optic internet with a smart TV and a comfortable sofa. Ideal for two people, but up to four people maximum can be accommodated in the Studio--two in the bedroom with one queen bed, one on the sofa, and one on a fold-out floor mattress. The bathroom has a curb-less shower constructed of faux rock with a plant shelf and a high up window that frames palm trees.

This is the listing for the Studio, but a larger upstairs apartment with a full kitchen, bedroom, laundry, media room, dining area, and soaking tub can be rented separately, or together with the Studio. There are three rental options available: 1. Studio 2. Casita [https://t.vrbo.io/ENcNDCSLcRb] OR BOTH, which have to be rented separately.

The defining feature of Casa Cascada 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.

The newly constructed building is quiet and safe, being on high ground and storm-proof with thick, reinforced concrete walls, floors and ceilings.
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 Sunrail 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.

Unique and Eclectic Retreat

Our stay at this retreat was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Michael and Shasta, some of the most unique, accommodating, and interesting hosts we've ever encountered. Their warmth, hospitality, and wealth of history made our experience even more memorable. They shared fascinating stories about the property and the area, which added a special layer to our stay.The retreat itself is an unexpected oasis in the middle of Deland. The natural swimming pool made it feel like a hidden paradise. We felt so at peace here, surrounded by the atmosphere that the hosts have cultivated.A short walk from downtown Deland, we enjoyed exploring Artisan Alley on a Friday night, where the local art scene and charm of the area completely won us over. We will be back! Thank you Michael & Shasta! -Cesar & Kellie
