This 2025 Traveler Award-winning historic tree house offers something unusual in central Austin: easy UT access paired with a leafy setting overlooking a peaceful creek. Walk to campus events, then come home to relax on the balcony surrounded by mature trees.



Perfect for UT & Austin Event Stays

Walk to Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium, Moody Center, UT Tower, Bass Concert Hall, UT-area hospitals, and other campus destinations.



Even better, free on-site parking for 2 cars means you can leave the car behind when exploring campus on foot.

The full bathroom is stocked with towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a hair dryer. A washer and dryer are also available in the building.



Creek Views in the Heart of UT

Step onto the balcony to enjoy creek views, patio furniture, outdoor lights, and mature trees—a peaceful contrast to the energy of the nearby university.



The home is also directly next to Eastwoods Neighborhood Park, convenient for tennis, pickleball, bird watching, or simply spending some time outdoors.



A Handy Extra for Austin BBQ Fans

Trying Austin's famous BBQ while you're here? We provide a portable chair you can take with you while waiting in line at popular BBQ spots such as Franklin Barbecue —a small but useful extra when you're tackling one of Austin's famous food queues.



Good to Know Before Booking

The front door is accessed through the patio. Free on-site parking is directly in front of the house for up to 2 cars.



This is a historic tree cottage on a lively college road. Many guests enjoy the energy and convenience of the area, though light sleepers may notice street noise, particularly during busier hours. Window AC units provide indoor cooling.



A short rental agreement is required after booking. A $300 security deposit hold is placed and automatically released 7 days after checkout when no damages are reported.



No smoking, weed, or vaping of any kind is permitted at the property. Guests may be charged if smoke odor is detected inside after checkout.



Bringing a pet? Please include your pet on the reservation or notify us before arrival so the applicable pet fee can be added.



For same-day bookings, check-in may be delayed while the home is being prepared. Please confirm your arrival time before booking.



Seasonal Landscaping: Texas heat, drought conditions, seasonal changes, and local water-use restrictions can affect the appearance of grass and landscaping, so outdoor areas may occasionally appear drier or less green than pictured.



If you want to walk to UT football, Moody Center, campus events, and university destinations while coming home to trees, creek views, and your own free parking, you've found a wonderfully convenient Austin base.



Book your UT Austin stay and enjoy campus at your doorstep with a peaceful place to recharge between events.

Worst VRBO - The door doesn't lock and the balcony is rickety and so run down. The house is on East Dean Keeton and there is no way to feel secure since the door wouldn't open or even lock because the frame and door jamb don't meet. The railing and deck are so old and falling apart.

Fantastic location to see a UT football game. A welcoming host. Suggestion: since the door lock was mentioned several times, can the door lock be replaced to avoid an accidental lockout? Also, the shower head was dripping even after the hot and cold water were turned off.

Misrepresented, Unsafe, and Disappointing — Avoid This Property and Host

We booked this property for a weekend trip to attend a concert at the Moody Center. The listing advertised it as a “treehouse oasis,” which appealed to us. While the location was indeed walkable, the overall experience fell far short of expectations.Upon arrival, we discovered a large encampment extremely close to the property — within about 10 feet of the front door. The area showed signs of heavy foot traffic, graffiti, and an overwhelming odor. We also experienced consistent loud noise and shouting that disrupted our stay and made us feel unsafe. This was not mentioned in the listing, which made the discovery particularly unsettling.After contacting the host about our concerns, we were told we could check out early and would be refunded for the unused night as well as our deposit. Unfortunately, when we tried to make this change through the app and later reached out to customer service, the host reversed course and declined to honor the agreement.There were also issues with the check-in process and overall cleanliness:The check-in code was received very close to arrival time.The cleaning crew was still inside when we arrived, so we had to wait.The property had lingering holiday decorations, visible dust, and linens that were still damp.Towels and washcloths were mismatched and not what we expected from a professionally managed rental.While we understand that no property is perfect, this listing did not accurately reflect the conditions
Concessions: One bag of chips inside a plastic bag.
Encampment view: View from the deck of encampment.
Dusty White Noise Machine: Thick dust on surfaces showed poor upkeep and cleaning standards.
Leftover Christmas Decor: Outdated decor still up. Space felt neglected, not like the listing photos.
