Safari Cabana at Tipsy Toad Retreat

Who doesn’t dream of going on a Safari!

We have never been – Bucket List Item – but maybe this room will help you feel like you are sitting somewhere remote surrounded by monkeys, zebras & elephants.

If you want to see a live zoo – step on over to the barn during feeding time. The goats & chickens are multiplying like crazy and always looking for a free handout of treats!!

Feeling adventurous? Take a jump off the High Dive!

The Tipsy Toad Retreat is a private retreat located on a 160 acre working cattle ranch with cattle, donkeys, horses, goats, chickens, guinea fowl, & 2 peacocks.

We have 4 Themed Cabanas that overlook a recreational pond for fishing, swimming, paddleboarding or just relaxing! The pond is stocked with Bass, Catfish, Sunfish & Crappie.

Outside amenities include a large swimming pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, grills, 3 campfire pits, walking trails, & a 9-basket DISC GOLF course.

Great Country Escape! Kick back and relax while you enjoy the peaceful ranch life!

This is a Private Retreat, so only registered guests staying in our 2-bedroom loft or 4 themed cabanas will have access. There is a keyed entry gate to enter the property.

Guests have shared access to: Outdoor Kitchen, Pond, boats, dock, gazebo, pool & hot tub area, walking trails, & 9-basket Disc Golf course.

Events with extra guests are not allowed unless you reserve our event building or have the whole property reserved.

We live in the main house on the property. If you need anything, just call or text. We`re happy to chat, but also respect guests` privacy.

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.
