A small refrigerator with ice trays adds to your convenience. Illuminating lights both inside and below the treehouse allow you to extend your moments of relaxation and joy into the late evening hours. The bathroom area features a sink with cold running water and a small water closet with a composting toilet. However, the highlight of this unique escape is the open-air outdoor shower, complete with both hot and cold water. With a luxurious rain shower head and body sprayer, the recycled glass bottle shower is a one-of-a-kind experience that will leave you refreshed and rejuvenated.

Great for getting out in nature! Absolutely loved the decor and shower. Also really great for dogs; there was even a towel for dogs. Beautiful property, roughly 20 mins from downtown Bastrop/Bastrop State Park. Perfect for outdoorsy people (especially city-dwellers wanting some fresh air). Lots of dishes/cooking utensils, a coffee bar, fire pit, and plenty of seating as well!

What a magical little fairy treehouse! I finally got to pretend to be part of the Swiss Family Robinson, which was one of my favorite books as a child. The property is very well cared for and everything is impeccably built. I was amazed by the way the treehouse is built to allow the trees to continue growing. The outdoor shower was the highlight of the stay. It was lightly raining at night while showering and that was so magical. The bed was comfortable and the decor so lovely. The host was very communicative and helpful. Super cute lights twinkling on the ceiling of the bedroom and the windows open so you can hear the birds sing and the rain fall.

Perfect stay for a couple and a dog! Easy check in and check out. Everything as described but more peaceful than the pictures make it out to be. Highlight would be the outdoor kitchen and living areas. Had everything we needed for a cozy few nights.
