55Such a great experience! Lauren was a great host. The area is very large and securely fenced so my dog Blue was able to run free. He really enjoyed stomping around in the pond and playing with Lauren’s very sweet and kid/dog-friendly pup. Blue can be a very anxious pup, so it was so great to see him let loose and have fun. I had my elementary-aged kids with me and Lauren was extremely kind to them as well, even let them play with her week-old baby goat. When my kids left, they asked to help write the review, so here are their comments - “I’ve never seen Blue so happy,” “That lady was so so so so nice,” “This is a perfect place for dogs,” “Can we take the other dog home with us too,” “it’s super peaceful,” “we should come back next weekend.” 🤣 This was a great fit for our dog and we’ll definitely be back!

    Host replied: Loved meeting you all and especially loved the video you sent showing Blue REALLY having fun! Thank you for visiting and for your input since I'm a novice host. Look forward to seeing you again.

Our place is a beautiful animal-oriented property. It is technically a working ranch with cows, sheep, goats, chickens and horses (many cross fenced areas so livestock can be separated from dogs or not). Ideally suited for doggie fun, we have a combination of open space and "wooded" areas and there's a great pond for dogs to cool off and play. We have plans to add agility obstacles in the near future. For a great overnight getaway, we also have a guest house that can be rented. Best of all, we are located 30 minutes from Austin and San Marcos.
