45Beautiful property with lots of space to roam. It felt like going on a private hike. My dogs love to swim and I wished the water was more accessible (no fault of anyone but wanted to set that expectation). Our dogs still went in and had a great time!
45We had such a great experience here! The location is absolutely beautiful, right on the river, and Stella had the BEST time. She’s nine years old and has never once tried to actually swim before, but she loved the water so much here that I got to watch her swim for the first time ever! 🥹 She was so happy exploring, running around, and playing in the river, and that alone made the visit so special. The only reasons I gave four stars instead of five were two small things I think are worth mentioning for other dog owners. There is an area with beehives, which I think is wonderful, but it isn’t gated off from the rest of the property. Stella did run over toward them at one point and thankfully came right back when I called her, but it may be something to keep in mind depending on your dog. The listing does mention that there may be dogs around, and most of the reviews I read said they either heard the dogs from a distance or saw them behind a fence. During our visit, two dogs actually ran over to us, which I wasn’t expecting since Stella can be reactive with unfamiliar dogs. I do want to add that we were late arriving, so it’s completely possible the owners thought we weren’t coming and had let the dogs out by that point! I definitely don’t want to place blame on them when our late arrival could have contributed to it. It was just something unexpected that other owners of reactive dogs may want to be aware of. Neither of those things ruined our experience at all. Stella genuinely had an AMAZING time, the property and river were beautiful, and seeing my nine-year-old girl discover that she apparently LOVES swimming was priceless. 😂 We would absolutely book again!
55Beautiful property!! Really nice host!!! Would go again!!
55My dogs had the best time ever, they love being able to run around and especially be around water. The owner was so sweet and helped us in the gate when I couldn’t figure out the code! Definitely will come back, HUGE property.
55Gorgeous property, plenty of room for my dog to run around and explore
45Nice are. Bring your own bowls for water. I really enjoyed it
55Great spot! Lots of wooded and path areas to sniff around and some water to explore as well. We had a blast and will be back. Make sure to wear tall socks or pants since there are some stingy plants and bugs.
55So much space to roam our dogs LOVED it
55We come here almost every evening and have the best experience each time!
55Had a great time. Our dogs loved being able to be off leash. The walk to the river is downhill and very easy. The trails are well maintained and the area by the river is lovely. The host responded quickly since we had questions on where to park. Great visit.

A large, 2 acre fully fenced pasture style plot that is perfect for dogs to run their heart out and play all day! The dog park is on our family ranch, Long Step Ranch, just east of the Austin Airport. Parking is next to the entrance to the dog park. There are horse and cow pastures nearby, but are not directly next to the dog park. The entrance to the park is by the front gate of the ranch away from those living on the ranch. There is some street noise from the road.

(More photos coming soon!) You can find my back yard gate to the right of the house, past the carport. There's a deck with a table and chairs, and plenty of room for your dog to run around. No neighboring yards have dogs, and no neighbors spend much time in their yards, so there's lots of privacy. The back yard is fully fenced. Please close the gate when you enter and exit.

Fully Fenced Yard For Big or Small Dogs in Austin

Fully Fenced
0.02 acres

I would love to share my big, beautiful backyard with other dogs and the people who love them! I have a new fence that is completely secure -- my two curious chihuahua mixes are capable of finding any holes or openings no matter how small, so rest assured that your dogs will stay safe inside once the gate is closed. The fence is 6 feet high, so your dogs won't be able to see into neighbors' yards or the road, although they may get glimpses of my dogs through the sliding glass doors into my home. There are LOTS of smells to sniff, lizards to chase, places to explore, and trees to pee on. I have automatic solar-powered string lights throughout the backyard, so if you want to come by after dark, your visit will still be completely illuminated. While your dogs zoom and play, feel free to relax in the hammock or get some work done at the picnic table. This backyard is the perfect place to spend an afternoon!
