Step outside onto the massive backyard deck and soak up the sun like a true nature enthusiast. Bring your binoculars, because you might just spot a rare bird or two. But don't worry, we won't judge you if you mistake a pigeon for an eagle. Birds not your thing? Then relax and wind down on the hammock to subtle wind chimes in the distance.
Inside, you'll find plenty of natural light streaming through the many large windows, giving you a glimpse of the great outdoors even when you're in for the night. And speaking of the night, the stars here are so bright you'll think you're in Hollywood.

You'll find all the classics here, from Monopoly to Rummikub to Operation. Maybe even a dusty old Rubik's cube if you look hard enough.
Board games not your thing? We've also added a touch of nostalgia to the mix with a Nintendo 64 console and an assortment of the best games from the era. Get ready to relive the magic of Mario Kart or engage in friendly multiplayer battles with GoldenEye 007. So gather around, grab a controller, and let the nostalgia-filled fun begin!
But the real star of the show? Lake Travis, baby! A quick stroll down the road and you're there! A boat ramp, marina and a tasty restaurant are ready for some fun adventures!!!

We enjoyed this relaxing property. Well equipped, comfortable bedding, close to everything and perfect if you are bringing pets. I will definitely consider staying here again and working remotely when I need a little get away.

Thank you so much! We're so happy everything worked out for y'all and the pups!
Excellent hosts & incredibly responsive. We found the home easily; although it was a bit further than 2 min. from the water. The locale was safe & quiet. We were able to relax & unwind. Our hosts were great with questions & replacing pillows upon request. They did a great job communicating with us as well.

Hi! Thank you for the wonderful review—we're grinning! We're so glad you relaxed and loved the neighborhood. We loved hosting you and can't wait to have you back.
recently had the pleasure of staying in this yellow treehouse, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this would be a unique and unforgettable.One of my favorite parts of the stay was the view from the deck and where we could relax with a cup of coffee and enjoy the fresh air. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, this is the place.

We love hearing this — thank you so much! 💛 The Yellow Treehouse really does have a special kind of magic, and we’re so happy it made your stay feel unique and unforgettable. Morning coffee on the deck with fresh air is one of our favorite rituals too !!!
We love the Yellow Treehouse. The two decks are perfect for enjoying the outdoors. Walking distance to the marina and sundancers grill. All the amenities necessary and then some. Super clean! And the hosts are MORE than accommodating. We stayed during a winter storm and the host provided an additional space heater. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!!

Hey Pat,
We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our property! 🎉 The outside decking sure adds that extra touch of charm, and we're delighted you found the beds so comfy – because a good night's sleep is a must for a fantastic vacation! 😴
Property was dirty, run down, the stairs were narrow and steep (not safe). No smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors. Only ONE CLOSET for two bedrooms. No closet in one bedroom or no dressers in either bedroom. Infested with mosquitoes. We got bit up just in the short amount of time we were there. We didn’t stay there, we found another much better, cleaner, bigger and newer house for just 100 more. Can’t believe this place was ever approved for occupancy OR a vrbo property. Host was not helpful, NEVER OFFERED REFUND. We are in process of investigating with vrbo management. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR HARD EARNED MONEY!

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, though we were genuinely surprised by this review, as it doesn't reflect the home that 250 guests have rated five stars across our platforms.
A few clarifications for future guests: the home is a rustic treehouse, and we describe it that way honestly — it's charming and well-loved, not a hotel, and the character is the point. It has two Google Nest smoke/carbon-monoxide detectors, professional quarterly pest control (the wooded lakeside setting means nature occasionally visits, which we note in advance), and a steeper original staircase with handrails on both sides — plus a ground-floor queen bed for anyone who prefers not to take the stairs. The primary bedroom has a large closet and full dresser.
We reached out as soon as we understood there was a concern and would have loved the chance to help, but the decision to leave had already been made. We wish this guest had let us be of service, and we're confident future guests will find the treehouse exactly as hundreds of others have described it. Thank you!
My daughter and a small group of friends chose this house for their last get away before graduation. With us close by and keeping close tabs on everyone, they had a wonderful time and loved staying in the house. Everything was super clean and well taken care of. They loved staying there and had nothing but wonderful things to say about it.

Hey Jaymi - We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your daughter and her friends had an incredible getaway at our house before graduation! It's always a special feeling to know that our guests had a memorable and enjoyable stay. Thank you!
Property was short walk from lake. Spacious deck. Plenty of room to relax and close to Austin. If you have a big vehicle there is only parking for two vehicles not three.

Thanks, Michael! It's always great to have a relaxing space to unwind, especially with the beautiful surroundings nearby.
The Yellow Treehouse was an exceptional place. It was meticulously clean and the decor was very nice. Special attention was taken to supply toiletries in the bathrooms. The house was just what we needed for our weekend in the area. The hosts went above and beyond to accommodate out needs and were readily available to answer all questions. We will definitely make plans to return to this charming treehouse. LOVED IT!!

We're absolutely stoked that you LOVED IT! Can't wait to welcome you back to the charming treehouse. Let's make plans for your next adventure – we'll be here with open arms and more charm than ever!
Cheers to future treehouse shenanigans!
The hosts were very friendly and open to answering questions. The treehouse is positioned on a perfect spot on the hill. The home was very cozy and welcoming, and was the perfect space for four friends to hang out for the weekend. The kitchen was newly remodeled, and almost felt like a new coffee shop. My dog loved the yard and spent most of her time running around. This was the perfect getaway from the city.

Hey Mario! Awesome that your dog had a blast in the yard – sounds like a pupper paradise! We're delighted that you enjoyed the newly remodeled kitchen; we put a lot of love into it, and we're stoked that it gave off those cool coffee shop vibes.
We enjoyed our stay in Lakeway. The house was very nice and well thought out. The two bedrooms are upstairs and there is a really nice bathroom next to them. There is a bathroom with laundry machines downstairs as well. The parking was great and all three of us had a space to park.
I loved that there were sliding doors in the main room and the tv room. You can open them and enjoy the large patio.
Overall it was a good stay. There are many breweries, restaurants, and great views within 10 minutes. We used Uber and the rides averaged $10-12 anywhere we went. It was very nice.

Hi Hailey! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our Yellow Treehouse! It sounds like you really appreciated the thoughtful layout of the house and all the little details we put in. Those sliding doors opening up to the large patio are definitely a favorite feature of ours too – perfect for soaking in the sunshine and fresh air!
We truly enjoyed the nice and quiet space at the Yellow Treehouse.
Nice and clean setting of a spacious patio with a hammock. We also enjoyed the patio upstairs of the bedroom with the wide view.
The Oasis On Lake Travis is only a short ride from the property as well as grocery stores and gas stations.
It would be helpful to list locations of the bedrooms are upstairs and second full bath is on the first floor. Also show a photo to let people knows that the entrance of the house is on street level.
We had a good time staying at the Yellow Treehouse and recommended to everyone to try it out.
Thank you Kevin and Jessica were very responsive to our needs.
Kind regards,
Thuy
