Cozy l Pool l River l Lake l Hot tub l Firepit

Looking for a romantic getaway at a one-of-a-kind property? Carmel Cottage is waiting for you to enjoy the Texas Hill Country during the day, and at night, unwind in your own hot tub on the patio with a gas grill and fire pit, overlooking the lake at Basecamp Resort! Our dark skies offer excellent starry night viewing and our 3-acre lake is set up for adventure with fishing (catch and release), kayaking, paddle boarding, and swimming. You can bring a pole and some bait and explore 3 other ponds along our hiking trail. We also provide kayaks and paddleboards for your use at the lake. All that and Guadalupe River access is less than 1/4 mile away!

In the bedroom, you will find a queen-sized bed with memory foam mattress, cotton bedding, and beautiful views. The living room is cozy and inviting with a 43" smart TV. On the patio you can enjoy the gas grill, outdoor seating and the hot tub.

There is no dishwasher in the cabin. We provide dish soap/rack/cleaning brush for your use.

We have 3 other cabins on the property, The Rocking F Rambler (1 BR), Casita Juanita (1 BR Efficiency) and The Lodge at Basecamp (4 BR w/ detached bunk room). We also have added 4 glamping tents...bring your friends and family!

Important things to note:
The grill is propane, so there is no need to bring charcoal. We provide Duraflame logs for the fire pit, but you are welcome to bring firewood as well.

When the pool is heated (Spring Break and late Fall), it will be heated to 78-80.

PET POLICY: We welcome dogs (max 2) for a $50 pet fee. We love dogs (we have 2 of our own) and we are super happy to be able to provide a pet friendly glamping resort. In order to keep the property dog-friendly, we kindly ask that you:
- Do not bring your dog if they are barkers. To be respectful of other guests, we cannot allow dogs on the property that bark constantly and if this happens, you could be asked to leave. If you are unsure if your dog is a heavy barker, check with your neighbors ;)
- Clean up after your dog, both inside and outside (we provide dog waste bags at the cabin).
- Do not allow your dog on the furniture; this means both the couch and the bed.
- Dogs may not be left unattended inside the cabin unless you bring a crate.
- Dogs are not allowed in the pool area. There are no exceptions to this rule, as this is associated with Texas law.
- There will be a $250 fee assessed if evidence is found that an undisclosed pet was brought onto the property.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and will help us keep the resort pet friendly for future guests!!! We do not allow cats on the property.

Smoking of any kind is not permitted on the property.

Parking and all resort amenities are for registered guests only.

A rental agreement and security deposit are required prior to arrival. A $300 hold will be placed on guest's credit card two days prior to reservation date and released once the property has been assessed for damages. There is NO CHARGE to guest's credit card unless there are property damages. The hold is automatically released after the reservation. We have never withheld a deposit before, and very likely will never have to, because we have the most awesome guests!!!.

Thank you for considering our cabin!
