About this property

Private Retreat with Pond, Pool and Hot Tub

Country Paradise that sleeps 20+ with a 2 Bedroom Loft, Rustic Cabin, 2 RV hook-ups, and 4 Themed Cabanas next to our private recreational pond complete with boats. Pond is stocked with Bass, Catfish, & Sunfish. 2-story dock has a high dive for the adventurous. It also has a large pool & hot tub. Gazebo & stage come in handy for family gatherings. 3 firepits, several grills & a large Outdoor Kitchen!! This is a 1 of a kind gem! Perfect for reunions & corporate retreats.



You and your guests will have exclusive use of our property while you are staying here. This is a working ranch so my husband & I live on the property and will be caring for the animals and taking care of daily chores but we will give you your privacy and help with any issues that may arise.



The property is for registered guests only. If you will be inviting other guests onto the property to attend an event (such as a birthday party or wedding) then we will require Event Insurance for each day these guests will be on property. Event Insurance is approx. $150-$200 per day. ALL events must be arranged thru us ahead of time.



The pond is stocked with Bass, Catfish & Sunfish. The Bass are catch & release but the rest of the fish you are welcome to keep. We have 2 kayaks, 2 pedal boats & 2 paddleboards for your use.



The pool is included as well as a large hot tub. We have a gazebo, stage, 3 firepits & several grills. The Outdoor Kitchen has a Kamado Grill, Pellet Grill, Propane Griddle & 2 side burners.



The full kitchen is located in the loft. Each of the Cabanas has a mini fridge, microwave & a full bathroom.



If you have campers or are hosting an event there are 2 extra full bathrooms next to cabanas & another full bathroom in barn entry.



We have 2 horse stalls & runs for your use if you are traveling with livestock. We must have enough notice before hand to prepare stalls & all animals/pets must be listed on the booking.



Booking includes lodging for up to 25 people. If you have more than that you will be required to rent RV hook-ups at $50 each or pay camper fees at $15/person to cover the extra overnight guests. The 2 RV electric hookups are 50AMP service. We do not have a septic dump but we do have water hose to fill your tanks.



You will have use of the loft, stalls, grounds, pond, pool, hot tub, large parking arena and event lighting at night. You will also have use of the cabanas & 2 extra bathrooms. We have a few life jackets, boats, paddles, etc. Please bring your own fishing gear and bait.



We do live on site in the main house next to the pool. If you need anything, just call, text or come knock on the main house door.



Make sure all guests are listed on your booking. Use of property is for REGISTERED GUESTS ONLY.



Early check-in and/or Late Check-out, when available, may be requested for an additional fee of $20.



If you have small children, they must be supervised at all times because of the deep pond, pool & Livestock pens! Infants & toddlers are NOT ALLOWED in the pond. The pond water is from rain & runoff and IS NOT FILTERED OR TREATED. We keep it aerated & as clean as possible but water should not be swallowed.

The POND is stocked with fish! We have Catfish, Bass, Sunfish, Crappie, & Perch. We also have a few turtles and an occasional snake. Usually just harmless water snakes are seen but since we are in rural Texas there could be Water Moccasins or Copperheads lurking around. Always be aware of your surroundings and stay where we have cleaned/mowed.

We have several life jackets for you to use free of charge ranging from Youth Small to Adult. Young children MUST wear them if they are near the pond. Texas Law states 13 & under must wear life jackets while on a boat. Remind others in your group to bring life jackets and swim diapers for infants/toddlers.



Outside areas are shared. Please be respectful of the other guests.



We have an ice machine. Ice is $2 per bag. No GLASS in the pool or pond area - cans only or bring thermal cups.



Our gift shop offers a variety of items including T-shirts, cups, paper plates, napkins, diapers, and other small essentials. We encourage you to visit and explore our selection. For those interested in fishing, please bring your own rods, tackle, and bait.

We provide coffee, coffee supplies, linens, bath towels, beach towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, and each room has a hair dryer.



We provide charcoal, wood pellets, and propane for the grills. Additionally, there is sufficient firewood available for all the firepits. The outdoor kitchen is equipped with two smokers, with the larger one capable of holding six briskets. There is also a wood pellet grill, a smooth top griddle, and two side burners.



I use Instacart and Costco for grocery delivery, which saves time. Mr. Jim`s Pizza in Boyd and Uber Eats also deliver here. The nearest grocery stores are in Azle, Boyd, or Springtown, and Dollar General is just 2.5 miles away. The closest liquor stores are in Boyd or Briar.

We couldn’t have picked a better place than the Tipsy Toad for our annual company summer party! From the moment we arrived, it was clear this was going to be something special. The themed rooms were not only fun and creative but also incredibly comfortable—each space added to the charm of the retreat. It was the ideal setting to relax, recharge, and celebrate together.The peaceful surroundings made it easy for everyone to unwind, while the amenities ensured there was never a dull moment. The pool was perfect for the kids, and the space was large enough for us to bring in an inflatable slide and set up our own volleyball court. Every age group found something to love, and it was amazing to see our entire team—along with their families—so engaged and enjoying themselves.A special highlight for many of us was getting to spend time with the goats. It added such a warm, personal touch to an already unforgettable experience.The hosts were truly top-notch—super helpful, responsive, and made us feel incredibly welcome. It’s rare to find a place that combines hospitality, charm, and functionality so effortlessly.We’re already looking forward to returning. The Tipsy Toad isn’t just a venue—it’s an experience. Thank you for helping us create such lasting memories!

Perfect Thanksgiving!

Our family spent Thanksgiving here. It was perfect. They had everything we needed right onsite. From the commercial size frig & freezer down to the shampoo and conditioner. The event center was amazing! It was cold outside, but the heaters kept everyone warm while eating and watching football...lol. We cooked breakfast on the griddle in the outdoor kitchen. It was amazing! All of the kids had plenty of room to play and they loved seeing the horses in the morning. It will definitely be a Thanksgiving we will always remember!

Great times and a worry free stay

Rented this listing for a large bachelor party and it was the perfect place for us. Property was clean and well kept. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. All around a fantastic spot. No issues finding the property or getting situated. If you have a large group that likes to cook and hangout by the water then this is the spot. Pictures don’t do it justice, the property is gorgeous all the rooms are spacious and comfortable the pond was a blast and hanging by the fire or in the hot tub was amazing. 10/10 can’t wait to find an excuse to party out there again!

Awesome

Our family had a wonderful time on this property as a family only birthday party/family outing. The kids enjoyed the pool and the older ones enjoyed jumping off the high dive in the pool. Ms Kathy was awesome and super friendly and helpful. They had everything we needed but the food was spot on for anything that we needed help with. Thanks again for a very memorable weekend. No complaints and will definitely use again. You can not go wrong with this property.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!

This property was the perfect place for your family event. It was able to accommodate multiple families and had all of the amenities needed. The location was absolutely beautiful, clean and very well maintained. Their outdoor activities were perfect for all of the kids to stay entertained. Between the pond, swimming, paddle boarding and fishing our kids were able to unplug and make memories! The outdoor cooking area (where I spent the majority of my time) has everything you could want. The flat-top stove was perfect for cooking a large breakfast quickly and easily. We were also able to smoke some briskets on the pellet smoker while enjoying the beautiful pool and spa. Kathy was an incredible host. She was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to make our stay special Overall, this was a 10/10 stay, and would highly recommend it to everyone.

Absolutely magical!

Our recent stay at this VRBO was nothing short of magical. From the stunning barn & cabins to the charming farm animals, the inviting pool, and the serene small lake, this vacation was a dream come true. The cabins were simply exquisite. They offered the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Every detail was carefully considered. The cabins were not just accommodations; they were an integral part of the experience, making us feel like we had found a hidden gem! Our hosts were the epitome of hospitality. They welcomed us and a genuine passion for ensuring our stay was comfortable and that we had everything we needed. The presence of farm animals added a delightful layer of charm to our stay. Interacting with the friendly goats, chickens, and those lovable donkeys became a daily highlight. We couldn't get enough, and the hosts even let them participate in feeding and caring for the animals, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime. The pool was a haven of relaxation and fun. It was impeccably maintained and offered a refreshing escape from the summer heat. In summary, our stay at this VRBO was nothing short of extraordinary. The combination of beautiful cabins, exceptional hosts, farm animals, a sparkling pool, and a serene lake made for an unforgettable vacation. We departed with a sense of gratitude and a promise to return soon. If you're seeking a retreat that offers beauty, warmth, and relaxation this VRBO is the perfect choice!
