About this property
Summit Sunsets | Heated Pool, Hill Country Views & Romantic Escape
# Summit Sunsets | A Romantic Hill Country Retreat
More than just a place to stay, Summit Sunsets is designed for couples looking to slow down, reconnect and enjoy the beauty of the Texas Hill Country.
Wake to breathtaking countryside views, enjoy coffee on your private balcony as deer wander through the valley below, then spend the afternoon relaxing beside your own exclusive-use swimming pool. As the sun sets over the hills, prepare dinner outdoors, gather around the fire pit and watch the stars appear overhead.
This elevated guesthouse combines boutique interiors, thoughtful comforts and a peaceful setting to create a memorable escape near Canyon Lake, Gruene and the Guadalupe River.
## Why Guests Love Staying Here
• Exclusive use of the swimming pool, backyard, outdoor kitchen and fire pit
• Sweeping Hill Country views across the surrounding valley
• Pool heating available for an additional fee
• Elevated guesthouse with boutique-style interiors
• Private balconies for morning coffee and sunset drinks

## Your Guesthouse
Inside, the bright, open-plan guesthouse combines comfortable furnishings with calming décor and thoughtful finishes. Large windows bring the surrounding landscape into the living space, creating a welcoming place to unwind after a day exploring the Hill Country.
The fully equipped kitchen makes holiday living easy. Prepare breakfast before heading out for the day, enjoy a leisurely lunch on the balcony or cook dinner before settling in for a relaxing evening.
The bedroom features a comfortable queen bed, quality linens and boutique touches for a restful night's sleep. The sofa bed provides additional sleeping space, allowing the guesthouse to accommodate up to four guests in total.
## Your Private Outdoor Retreat
Outside is where Summit Sunsets truly shines.
Spend sunny afternoons beside the swimming pool, prepare dinner in the outdoor kitchen with BBQ, enjoy the outdoor seating areas or gather around the fire pit beneath the stars. The pool, backyard, outdoor kitchen and fire pit are reserved exclusively for your use throughout your stay.
Pool heating, fire bowls and the fire pit use propane and are available for an additional fee; these charges are not included in the nightly rate.
## A Note About Privacy
Summit Sunsets is an elevated guesthouse on the same property as the owners' main home. The owners live separately, with their own private entrance and outdoor living area.
You have exclusive use of the swimming pool and designated outdoor guest amenities, which are not shared with the owners or other guests. Both homes enjoy the sweeping views across the surrounding valley and yard, so the setting is open rather than completely screened from view.
**Security cameras:** Exterior security cameras cover the driveway and entrance areas. An additional rear camera provides a wide view of the pool and surrounding outdoor area, as required by our insurance company. The cameras are not actively monitored, and footage is accessed only if a concern or incident arises. There are no cameras inside the guesthouse.
## Discover the Texas Hill Country
Summit Sunsets is ideally placed for exploring the region while giving you a peaceful retreat to return to at the end of the day.
Visit historic Gruene for live music, browse local boutiques, spend time tubing or kayaking on the Guadalupe River, or enjoy boating and swimming at Canyon Lake. Local wineries, scenic drives, cycling routes and other Hill Country attractions offer plenty of ways to make your stay your own.
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, planning a romantic getaway or simply looking to escape the pace of everyday life, Summit Sunsets offers a comfortable base for enjoying the best of the Texas Hill Country.
