Rustic elegance on the edge of the Texas Hill Country. Horse trails, open skies, and the kind of quiet that lingers long after you leave.
Hill Country
Nestled between Fredericksburg and the Colorado River, Round Mountain offers the authentic Texas experience.

Hill Country • Est. 2018
Salty Dog Ranch started as a simple idea: create a place where the pace slows down and the landscape takes center stage. Located just off Sendero Road in Round Mountain, our ranch sits on land that has supported cattle, horses, and families for generations.
We opened our doors to travelers who want more than a hotel room — who want to feel the ground beneath their boots, hear the wind move through the mesquite, and wake up to a sky that stretches wider than anything they've seen in the city.
Whether you're passing through on the way to Fredericksburg, chasing horse trails, or simply looking for a weekend where the only appointment is sunset, this is your place.
