A Boutique Hill Country Retreat
More than just a place to stay, Summit Sunsets is designed for couples looking to slow down, reconnect and experience the beauty of the Texas Hill Country.

Natural light fills the elevated guesthouse, where carefully chosen furnishings and calming décor create a welcoming place to relax after a day exploring the Hill Country. Large windows frame spectacular countryside views, bringing the landscape into every part of your stay.
The fully equipped kitchen makes holiday living wonderfully easy. Prepare breakfast before heading out to explore, enjoy a leisurely lunch on the balcony or cook dinner before settling beside the fire pit as the stars appear overhead.
The peaceful bedroom continues the boutique atmosphere with quality linens, thoughtful touches and everything you need for a restful night’s sleep.
Outside is where Summit Sunsets truly comes to life.
Spend the afternoon floating in your private resort-style swimming pool, prepare dinner in the outdoor kitchen, gather around the fire pit or simply unwind while watching the ever-changing Hill Country scenery.
