The suite occupies the entire third floor of the Arc de Texas and has 4 bedrooms, 2 half baths with a full kitchen, washer/dryer, central air/heat and great fire pit to sit and enjoy the nighttime sky in the Hill Country. You can also use the elevator to go to the rooftop terrace to enjoy your cocktail while taking in the arresting 360 degree views. What is stunning about this suite is the views! There are no less than 18 large square windows encircling the entire suite. The suite has views in every direction. You only need to pack your overnight bag, we have thought of everything you will need to make your stay comfortable. The suite sleeps 12-14 people with the use of the leather sofas in the living room. One bedroom has a king bed, another has a king bed and the other two bedrooms have two queen beds (all linens provided).

If you wish to bring your dog or your horse we have accommodations for them as well. The back deck is fenced and can be used to contain your dog. We ask that you keep them off the furniture and beds and you are required to bring a crate to house them in when you are away from the suite ($30 per night per pet stay fee - to be added to your quote after you book).
