This place exceeded all our expectations. The welcoming committee (aka the animals) were the highlight of the stay. When you come, be sure to bring plenty of carrots! The location was perfect for all our hill country excursions. Highly recommend!

This is one of my all time favorite places. The animals are so great and the house is perfect for our small family. My 9 year old was in heaven with her new four legged friends! Hosts are fantastic and great with communication. Lots of fun stuff to do nearby if you’re willing to take a drive- we went kayaking at Inks Lake and jumped off the cliffs at the Devil’s Waterhole. Great pie at the Blue Bonnet Cafe in Marble Falls. Just a wonderful place to spend a relaxing few days!

Nice spot in the country. The visit from the ranch animals a couple times a day was fun. Halfway between Marble Falls and Johnson City made both places very accessable. Comfortable and quiet. Dana was very quick to communicate, and made some great restaurant recommendations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
