Pool add-on: Add the pool rental for access to our new 12-by-24-foot above-ground pool. It includes a floating dock that makes it easier for dogs of many sizes to get in and out of the water. To access the pool, please ensure you book it. The pool is intended for dogs. Children are not allowed in the pool. Our property is designed for dogs first. We have dogs of our own, so the yard comes with plenty of interesting new smells to explore. Dogs live in the neighboring yards as well, so you may hear, or smell other dogs during your visit but you will not see them. This is great for training reactive dogs in a new environment! Shade- Large, mature oak trees provide generous shade throughout the yard, with a shaded pergola for people who want to sit and relax while their dogs play. Access Enter through the side gate using the walkway from the adjacent public Round Rock park. Please reach out to us with any questions you might have about renting our space. We love all dogs and want to help give you as much information as possible to see if our spot is a good fit for you and your pups!

Wimberley acreage with water access

A quiet, clean little nook in the heart of Wimberley. 3 acres with waterfront access!! Let your dog bask in the sun or drop in for a swim. The water is the Cypress Creek River, it has a lot to offer with beautiful, large Cypress trees. Plenty of space to explore and enjoy the peaceful, beautiful spot. Please keep in mind we are in a drought so the water isn't as deep as it's been the last few years. Water is still safe to swim in but figured I would include this since I've had a few people mention the water levels. Texas is experiencing a drought, fyi.

Off the driveway there are trails through the ravines, and up on the front is some nice pasture to explore. Fully fenced and safe! Come enjoy the sights and smells. I am also a student and teacher of human design, profiles for you or a loved one are available for $20 extra; if you’d like one, let me know at time of booking :)
