🔥 The wellness circuit
We designed the private spa yard to be experienced together. It`s a rhythm of heat, water, and rest that naturally strips away stress:
**The Heat:** Share the silence, or deep conversation, in the 2-person infrared sauna.
**The Refresh:** Not just a cold plunge. This tub (not jetted) features hot and cold taps so you can dial in your perfect temperature, from a cool 60° refresh to a steamy 100°+ soak.
**The Calm:** Dry off and sink into the shaded outdoor daybed beneath the pergola. Robes on. Wine in hand. Nowhere to be.
**The Unwind:** End the circuit by the fire pit, under dark Texas skies. No agenda. No schedule. Just the two of you.
🛏️ Inside the cabin
Handcrafted details throughout: 2-inch wood slabs, cedar accents, copper finishes, soft ambient lighting. Double glass doors open the living space to your private yard. Plush king mattress with multiple pillow options. Freshly laundered linens, duvet cover, and towels for every stay.
🍽️ Kitchen + outdoor dining
We provide the tools; you bring the ingredients. Full kitchen with high-end appliances, quality cookware, nugget ice maker, and premium coffee setup. Outside: ceramic grill, dining area with misting fans (summer) and heaters (winter).
