Margaritaville Cabana at Tipsy Toad Retreat

Escape to our Texas version of Margaritaville where it`s always 5 O`clock !

The inspiration for Margaritaville is our love for the BEACH, SUN & SAND! Our goal is to make you feel like you are on a tropical vacation. We have decorated the room with various souvenirs from our family beach vacations.

Grab your favorite beverage and sink your toes in the sand while listening to Jimmy Buffett!

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 here on the property to help with anything that may come up. Call or message us.

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.
This is a working ranch. Please stay out of the pens and pastures where the horses and cows are kept.

REGISTERED GUESTS ONLY on the property. If you want to have a party or reunion, please ask us about our EVENT Pricing. For Insurance Reasons we will have to charge Event Insurance as well as a Property Rental Fee depending on your needs.

When you book this property, you will be responsible for any guests that you bring with you. Because of the inherent risks of being around a pond or pool, you will be required to sign AN UNCONDITIONAL WAIVER, RELEASE, AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT prior to arrival. You can find the link in your Guest Portal.

NO SMOKING in any of the buildings. Dispose of BUTTS properly… do not throw on the ground.

Guests must be 21 or older to reserve the cabanas. No guests under 18 unless accompanied by a guardian or parent. No one under the age of 21 may consume alcohol on the property.

If you want to fish bring your own gear & bait. The BASS are catch & release ONLY. The rest of the fish you can keep to clean & grill. We have an outdoor fryer for the fish – NO FISH FRYING in the loft.

ALL FISH CLEANING MUST BE DONE OUTSIDE! If we have to clean up anything fishy in the cabana we will charge extra cleaning fees. Under no circumstance should fish hooks or lures be left laying unguarded! We have dogs that would be attracted to the smell of bait and it would be disastrous if an animal were to swallow a hook. Also, it is a swimming pond and no one wants to step on a hook.

There are NO LIFEGUARDS on the property. Our stock pond is 20 feet deep off the dock and it gets deep very fast around the edges.

The free roaming guinea fowl are here for a purpose. They eat all sorts of bugs & even keep snakes away! Please do not chase them. They have several nests and you may even see some with babies following along behind. They can be very loud when spooked or threatened which is why they are also great intruder alarms.

ADULTS ONLY in pool area after 8pm. Pool area is closed at 11pm – 7am.
QUIET TIME after 10pm - Please turn down loud music outside after 10pm so you are not disturbing our other guests or neighbors.

Please let all other guests in your group be aware of the rules as well. If you have any other questions, please let us know.

Hope you enjoy your stay!
