✹ Good to Know Before Booking

Historic Home: This is a historic tree house with distinctive character. We ask guests to treat the property thoughtfully and with the same care they would give their own home.

Air Conditioning: As part of the character of this historic property, the home is cooled with window AC units.

The home is located on a lively college road near UT. Many guests enjoy the energy and convenience of the area, but light sleepers may notice street and university-area noise, particularly during busy hours, football weekends, and major events. We have added a white noise machine in each bedroom to help with this.

Parking: Private guest parking is available directly in front of the house.

Rental Agreement & Security Deposit: To help ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay for everyone, all confirmed guests are asked to sign a short rental agreement after booking. A $300 security deposit hold will be placed and automatically released 7 days after checkout if no damages are reported.

Smoking: No smoking, weed, or vaping of any kind is permitted at the property. This includes preventing smoke from entering the home when smoking outside. Guests may be charged if a smoke odor is detected inside after checkout.

Pet Policy: Bringing a pet? Please add your pet to the reservation or notify us before arrival. The applicable pet fee will be added to your booking.

Same-Day Bookings: Check-in may be delayed while our team prepares the home. Please confirm your expected arrival time with us before making a same-day reservation.

If you're coming to Austin and want to walk to UT, football games, Moody Center, and campus destinations while still having a creekside retreat to come home to, this historic tree house offers a combination that's hard to find around campus.

Have a question before or during your stay? We're just a message or call away and look forward to hosting you in Austin.

Excellent host - very quick to respond and helpful. Just had a quick overnight stay here for a concert at Bass Hall on UT campus, so didn't really spend much time in the house other than just to sleep.The location for Bass or other campus events is spectacular. Very quick and easy walk to Bass. The bedrooms are on the side of the house along Dean Keaton St, so if you are a light sleeper or otherwise sensitive to road noise, that might be a consideration. This did not bother me at all, but it did bother my friend somewhat. White noise machines are provided in both bedrooms to help with this. The bedrooms also have window unit ACs that when running would help as well.Overall my experience was good and comfortable. Would recommend and would stay again.

Unfortunately was our first VRBO that didn’t match the photos and listing details. Having stayed here now, we are very surprised by the 5 star reviews.There is no mention that this home is located on an extremely busy street with 24 hour road noise. Ear plugs are a must for sleeping! It wasn’t relaxing or comfortable on many levels. The bed in the smaller bedroom was very comfortable. No dressers and few hangers in the one closet in the whole house.The deck and oak tree are lovely, but the deck doesn’t look like it is built to code. The deck chairs are uncomfortable for lounging.Cobwebs on the bedroom ceiling over our bed and the windows. Surfaces and bathroom were very clean.Bath towels are mismatched and old. The coffee pot had the wrong filters and stopped working.Many more disappointments and we will definitely not stay here again. The location is great for U of T events and you can catch ride shares easily. The area felt safe.
