Carmel in the Sky · Hot Tub & Big Views

Carmel in the Sky sits high in the hills near Leakey, private and easy to miss from the road. From the deck and the picture windows the Hill Country falls away in every direction, and sunrise here is worth getting up for.



Inside are warm wood tones, vaulted ceilings, an indoor fireplace, a projection TV downstairs and a Roku TV upstairs. Two bedrooms downstairs and two loft sleeping areas upstairs sleep up to ten. The main bedroom has an en-suite bath with a walk-in shower and a clawfoot tub. The full kitchen is easy to cook in for a group, there is a washer and dryer, and guests often eat every meal out on the deck.



The deck is the center of the house, with plenty of seating, an oversized hot tub, a gas grill and a fire pit for nights under very dark skies. There is an EV charger on site. Garner State Park, the Frio River and Lost Maples are all an easy drive.



Early check-in may be available on request. Your stay includes the Texas Hill Country Travel App, a local guide for exploring the area.



WHY WE LIKE IT

Carmel in the Sky has some of the best views we book anywhere, and you can take them in from the hot tub. It is also well placed: Garner State Park and Leakey are both close, so the Frio is an easy day trip.
