Secluded 2-rm guest suite nestled among the trees w/ stunning views of Lake Travis, 25 mins to Austin. You’ll sense the woodsy feel as you pull into the natural pink granite drive among a grove of majestic Texas live oak trees. Exterior stairway leads to the tree tops & a private 50 ft deck w/ jaw-dropping panoramic views of the lake 150 ft below. Enter through the soothing sage green & lavender living room/kitchenette furnished with original works of local art. Relax, kick off your shoes, make a drink, turn on some music (WI FI, iPod dock, Blu Ray) & head to the deck for some relaxation. Enjoy the birds & gaze at the lake as your worries suddenly seem so far away… After you’re relaxed, take a nap on the luxurious King bed in the massive, vaulted ceiling bedroom, catch some TV on the 37” flat screen TV in the comfy LR or just curl up with a good book on the sofa. Or just get lost in your thoughts & gaze at the view through your bedroom or LR French doors. Afterwards, freshen up in the large tiled bathroom complete w/ oversized tub & shower. Don’t forget to check out the locally made natural soaps, oils & lotions. Evenings are a great time to enjoy the deck – sunsets casts beautiful pastel colors on the lake & moon rises are awesome. Use the gas grill to prepare your favorite grilled dish. Kitchenette is stocked with dishes, utensils, microwave & fridge. In the morning, snack on self-serve breakfast treats & savor complimentary gourmet coffee & variety of teas on the deck as the sun rise over the lake. Activities abound near the Tree Lodge. Mansfield park, with the best boat launch on Lake Travis, is right across the street (NOW OPEN!). The Lodge has plenty of boat parking. Lake Austin & its invigorating cold water – minutes away. Boat rental marinas are nearby. Golf courses abound. Stroll around our quiet neighborhood or hike & explore the area parks & nature trails. Restaurants – from dives to fine dining – are min. away.

4.4 out of 5One year anniversary trip
June 06, 2013
My wife and I came to the Lake Travis Tree Lodge for our one year anniversary. After spending a lot of time looking for the perfect place I came across the Lake Travis Tree Lodge. It was everything I had expected and so much more. The views were incredible, and since it was early May we were able to enjoy the views from the couch or bed with the patio doors open. There is only a mini fridge and microwave, but it's all you need as there are plenty of great restaurants nearby as well as a propane grill for guest use. This was a surprise for my wife, guys, you can't go wrong planning a trip here. Bruce was a great host, he is not intrusive but was very helpful for anything we needed. We are definitely planning to come back.
5 out of 5Tranquil! and WOW!
May 29, 2013
Tranquil! The view from the deck is peaceful because of the sights, AND the sounds, like the birds that call as they swoop through the trees and the trickling water on the owner's deck below. Brian, the owner, has provided a respite from the hectic lives we live. You will find yourself nestled in the trees on a newly built deck with deck chairs and a table perfect for an outdoor meal for two. Rooms are clean (so important!), and elegantly appointed (a bonus!). Kitchenette is filled with thoughtful items like a cutting board, spoons, scissors, napkins, . . . everything I might want or need. Complimentary water was great! Coffee was tasty! I loved the lotion and bought one to take home. I was impressed to see a bottle of wine on the table with two glasses greeting me when we entered. WOW. I don't want to give away the secret, but you'll truly enjoy the getaway Brian has created! Whether you want lots of information about the area or to curl up in the quietness of a vacation and de-stress, Brian's Tree House is a perfect place to be.

The Lake Travis Tree Lodge was truly a wonderful getaway for me and my boyfriend. We mostly enjoyed the nature. To be able to wake up and have a cup of coffee on the patio was perfect. Bruce was so great! He accommodated all of our needs and was so nice! We plan on going back in the summer so we can enjoy Lake Travis. Thanks again Bruce! J&L Houston, Tx March 2013
4.2 out of 5A great hide away in NW Austin!!
April 15, 2013
My girlfriend & I stayed here 4/12-15. It was a B-day gift for her & I chose the Tree Lodge because she likes views & we weren't disappointed! Views from the deck & the bedroom are gorgeous. There was always a nice breeze blowing while we relaxed on the deck overlooking the lake. Bruce met us out front shortly after we arrived. The Tree Lodge has its own private entry & stairway so there is plenty of privacy but Bruce was close by if we needed anything. I know Austin fairly well & there were no problems with the room so other than recommending a couple of places to eat & ride (we were on a motorcycle) we had privacy the whole weekend. Speaking of places to eat I recommend County Line BBQ on FM 2222. The Oasis is nice for a margarita & a great view but the food is a little pricey for what you get. If you get downtown try Corazon on the Castle esp for Happy Hour. The Iguana is not far from the Tree Lodge. As for places to see: check out Mt Bonnell off of 2222 about 2 miles past County Line BBQ. The Oasis is a must-see even if you just go there for a drink. Check out the bats under the Congress Street bridge (Go to the TGIF at Radisson on Cesar Chavez an hour before sunset & get a table on the patio). And 6th street for some good music & even better "people watching". Overall, the Tree Lodge was a great place to stay. The only thing that could make it better is if there were a hammock & hot tub. The only negatives would be the hot water doesn't last long (just enough time for 2 adults to shower if you hurry) & the fridge is kinda small. Keep in mind that this is not really a B&B. There isn’t much to eat in the Tree Lodge but Austin is like a food Mecca. We plan on coming back again. Thanks again Bruce for a nice place to hide away & for the suggestions on where to ride. We enjoyed the ride out Hamilton Pool Road & the breakfast at the place on Hudson Bend was delicious!

4.6 out of 52 THUMBS UP TO THIS B&B!
February 13, 2013
The trip was a Christmas gift from my boyfriend. I had never visited Austin and we wanted a weekend away to relax! We stumbled across the Lake Travis Tree Lodge and didn't really know what to expect. Neither of us had ever been to a bed and breakfast so we didn't have many expectations. The tree lodge was located perfectly. It was close enough for our dinners out on the town and secluded enough when we wanted to get away. It has an amazing balcony view overlooking some of Austin and we felt so comfortable during our stay. The lodge is extremely "homey" and Bruce was very cordial and hospitable. We met him once and had a nice chat and the rest of time we felt like no one else was around, it was amazing. We definitely enjoyed our stay and we hope to go back soon! If you're looking for a great getaway and time to yourselves then this is the perfect place!
4.4 out of 5Romantic getaway
November 14, 2012
If you are looking for a romantic weekend with a lot of privacy and easy access to nature and great food, stay here. The view from the balcony is gorgeous. The accommodations are very comfortable, very tastefully decorated and if you are a guy making the reservations, you will score big with your significant other :) Don't expect a full blown kitchen and cooking. There is a microwave and fridge. Bruce was nice enough to leave a complimentary bottle of wine. So we would go and get great BBQ and just awesome Mexican food and bring it back, chill and have a great time. You will love the place. Highly recommended

September 29, 2012
I surprised my husband with this little getaway for his birthday. He was delighted, as was I!! Everything was just perfect from the great view, the little birds and squirells that entertained us from the balcony, the cozy, well equipped rooms, and especially the thoughtfullnes of our host! We were completely comfortable and relaxed. we will come again!!
5 out of 5Rest and Relaxation
September 10, 2012
My husband and I came to the Lake Travis Tree Lodge for a weekend getaway and it was wonderful .We did absolutely nothing! Everything we could have needed was provided, and the recommendations for places to eat was very helpful. It's so easy to be busy, and this was exactly what we needed to have a nice break. Everything was comfortable and relaxed and I would definitely recommend it for anyone who needs a little R&R.
