Description

🌳 Live Oaks on the Bayou – Peaceful Paws & Southern Shade Tucked beneath a canopy of grand live oaks dripping in Spanish moss, this 13-acre retreat is the ultimate spot for dogs (and their humans) to unplug and unwind. Off-leash freedom, soft grass, shady trails, and the soothing sounds of nature await. Escape to shaded oaks, wide-open green space, and peaceful bayou breezes. Live Oaks on the Bayou is a private retreat where dogs can run free and their people can relax in comfort. ✨ New this season! Cozy up by the fire pit, lounge under our spacious tent with extra chairs, or keep refreshments cold in our outdoor coolers. Whether you’re here for a few hours of play or an overnight adventure, there’s room to spread out and enjoy. 🐾 Dog-friendly fun: shady trails, grassy fields, water play zones, and plenty of space for zoomies or lounging. 🔥 Human comfort: BBQ pit, tent shelter, fire pit, coolers, and loungers. 🌙 Overnight Tent Experience: fall & winter are perfect for starlit camping with pups by your side. While fencing is partial in some areas, the property is so spacious that dogs remain happily engaged on-site — most pups are too busy exploring to wander off. Need a little extra chill? Book the BBQ zone for a slow, relaxing afternoon. Whether your dog is a zoomer or a lounger, they’ll feel right at home here.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

⚠️ Potential Hazards • This is a country property with natural terrain — expect some uneven ground, tree roots, and seasonal tall grass. • We have a bayou/pond area, so please supervise pups who like water. • Wildlife such as squirrels, birds, and the occasional deer may be seen. • Fencing is partial, but the property is large and open so pups usually stay happily engaged on-site. We recommend keeping an eye on your dog’s recall, especially if they’re prone to exploring. Most guests find the space peaceful and easy to manage.

Fully fenced vacant residential lot near South Post Oak and Willowbend. We love to take our dogs here to stretch out and play and are happy to extend that freedom to you! Just bring your own water and toys. Please clean up after your pet. One fence is a chain link about 4 foot tall so not ideal if your dog is a jumper! Enjoy the bench in the shade to chill and relax while your pups have a blast! Please share pics to our profile if you leave a review of your dog having a good time after your visit! Have fun!
