The Riverwalk Bedroom
The Texas Ranch bedroom
A copper hand sink, a mini-fridge, a 75-inch TV, a Ralph Lauren hutch full of wine glasses, plates & silverware, but this is not a kitchen for cooking
The living room boasts a $10,000 leather sofa that shouts "Welcome to Texas!" It faces the kitchenette and the TV.
Two make-up stations await you in your private salon.
And two styling stations await you, as well.
Looking out the doorway of the Riverwalk Bedroom...
Looking down the hallway from the Riverwalk Bedroom, the salon is in the left opening, the entry foyer in the right. Notice the funky ceiling.
This is the entry foyer
It's a small bathroom, but with a private make-up and styling salon, how much time do you really plan to spend in here? :)
The flowers are seasonal.
The entry keypad is alongside the door on the far right.
Open Wed-Sun, the Fang & Feather is the Whiskey Tasting Room of the Crowded Barrel Distillery, just down the sidewalk from your cottage.
Sip amazing craft cocktails and rare whiskeys.

is happily stocked with beer and wine and soft drinks.

3. A stunning Styling Salon, (bring
your own supplies)
4. A kitchenette complete with wine
glasses, plates, eating utensils, etc.
