Relaxing Hill Country Stay

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay over the July 4th weekend. We brought our dogs and the property was close to Inks Lake State Park and Pedernales Falls State park for wonderful hiking. After meeting and becoming familiar with the horses, donkeys and goats the dogs were fine. It was very nice to have the fenced yard to let the dogs off lead safely.

Relaxation in the Hill Country

The cabin was perfect for our needs. It was even cuter in person, with many updates and well - equipped. My grandson enjoyed all the animals, and we enjoyed the fresh air and the fire pit!

Great time and really enjoyed the animals

We had a great time at Salty Dog Ranch! The home was super clean, cozy very well stocked. Our hosts were very nice and even came back with food for the animals so we can feed them. We loved having the animals come by and visit us! This was a major highlight, definitely recommend!

Perfect country getaway

From the perfectly decorated porch and interior, to the amazingly friendly farm animals, this property was exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful sunsets, star gazing, feeding the animals, and being located 15 mins from Marble Falls, Horseshoe Bay, and Johnson City, made this stay perfect. We will miss Milo (the super friendly bull) until we return.

Quiet and Relaxing

Our stay was just the peaceful escape we were looking for. Our pups don't do fireworks and the ranch was the perfect place for them and us too. It was secluded enough for us, yet close enough to town for a dinner run if we desired. The accommodations were great and the added bonus of the farm animals was so fun! Dana and Shawn were very friendly and helpful.

Cute hill country cabin

We had a great stay at the little cabin. It is as advertised and the owner was very responsive when we had questions about the heater. Our son loved petting the horses that are on the property. The kitchen is equipped with all the things you need and it was great to have Netflix for our movie night.

Sweet property and sweet animal friends

The property was beautiful and the house was clean and quaint. The animals were a lot of fun and my wife had THE BEST time. When the review says you need to be comfortable with the animals, you definitely do. They weren’t aggressive or anything but they were persistent, especially Roman the goat. I had to fight him a bit with an ice chest for the right to get in the porch My only suggestion is the gate to the porch needs to either swing in the other direction or there needs to be better footing around the base of it.

Best vacation!

We loved every minute of the most pleasant and relaxing vacation we’ve ever had. The cabin was very comfortable, even with our daughter and 3 grands spending two days with us. The animals were so much fun, and warmed up to us quickly. There were different areas outside to have a fire to sit around, or enjoy the sight and sounds from the porch/patio, and even have a meal out under the trees in the picnic area. We just can’t say enough about our week there…..it was wonderful and just what we needed to destress. Wayne and Eva

Fun Family Getaway

We had a great time! The place was cozy and well taken care of. The kids LOVED Dunebug, Smokey, and Glen (we couldn’t remember the other horse’s name so they called him Glen. He will always be Glen to us). And Milo was a big hit! The only suggestion would be to have a light at the main gate. We drove right past it at night. Will definitely stay again!

Relaxing, peaceful country getaway

Loved staying at this small ranch house and being able to have the horses, donkeys, and cows in the pasture with us! We enjoyed feeding them the provided treats and all were very gentle and calm. It was even better being able to have our dog there as well. The house is nicely shaded and which kept the hot summer temperatures agreeable while sitting out on the porch. There’s outdoor propane burn pits, and fire pits that we were able to take advantage of to cook steaks for dinner, and there’s several hammocks scattered in shady spots throughout the pasture. Very nice stress free place to enjoy.

Great Hill Country retreat

We had a great time at the Salty Dog Ranch. The cabin was clean, comfortable and had all we needed. The porch was a great place to sit and watch the stars at night and the birds in the mornings. Our 3 dogs enjoyed the fenced yard and practiced their herding skills from the safe side of the fence. Milo, Daisy, Bud, Sissy. Doc and Dune Bug were frequent and very interactive greeters on the ranch and came right up to the cabin porch for pets and treats. All in all a great Hill Country experience.

The most peaceful place on Earth.

This is the second mommy and me vacation I have taken here. My kids LOVE the animals. They are so friendly, there when you wake up, and there when you go to bed. My son loved Milo (gentle giant) and grew so attached to him that we had to go search for him after a rainstorm because my son wanted to make sure he didn't get hurt during the rain. The property is perfect for a quiet retreat. Any storm chasers out there would love this place. We were able to enjoy one of the coolest lightening storms of my life. You could see for miles as the storms rolled in and your view isn't blocked by things like it would be in the city. I will absolutely be returning in the future!

Perfect Escape from Suburbia

This was an escape long weekend to slow down, relax, and recharge. This is said by two retired people! We have busy lives and live in a overgrowing part of Texas with too many newbies! The Salty Dog Ranch was a perfect country retreat for us! From being greeted as we arrived to the great communication while staying, the owners were very hospitable. Great info at the cabin too about the animals and safety around them. The two horses, two donkeys, and bull made for very entertaining company on the ranch. The cabin was well equipped and we were able to catch a few Christmas movies as well using Netflix. I was able to cook breakfasts easily and did well with making black eyed peas and collard greens for New Year’s Day using my crockpot and the large pots in the kitchen! Kitchen also had cast iron skillet for the cornbread. You will enjoy the country vibe and down home feeling the cabin gives you inside and out! It says to you “make yourself at home, sit a spell, and hang out on the porch to watch the sunset!!” You are about half way in between Marble Falls and Johnson City. Both places with interesting sights, restaurants, parks, and historical settings. There are lakes there but currently water levels are low. The cabin is in a great location and a long drive from big cities such as Austin and San Antonio. The owners have set up the ranch so nicely and have really worked on many details to make it that great cabin in the country. Please pay attention to keeping your dogs on leash especially for their safety. My husband and I returned home rested and with great pictures of our dogs looking out windows at horses and running the fence line of the great yard area with one of the donkeys!! We recommend you get out to this country cabin and sit on the porch with a beverage of choice and breathe deeply while watching the sun slip behind the trees and hills!!
