This place is a gem! 💎 I attended an event in the beautiful main lodge and then had the opportunity to tour the treehouses, they are otherworldly!! The whole place is enchanting and shows what is possible with intelligent design and use of local natural resources. Melissa was a great tour guide and I left feeling inspired!

My husband and I rented a place for the weekend to celebrate his birthday. We had a great time and visited two nearby spots: Westcavern Preserve and Hamilton Pool. We ate at Fitzhugh Brewing — great cheeseburger.
As for the cabin: it was clean, the bed was comfortable, and there was coffee, creamer, and sugar available, also a fridge and bath towels. The scenery is very beautiful and relaxing, you truly feel like you’re in a fairy tale.
Regarding the things I think the owners could improve:
1. I don’t understand why the picnic area isn’t illuminated. It’s extremely dark there, and it could be another pleasant spot to enjoy while staying at the cabin. Recommendations: Bring flashlights.
2. I don’t think this can be easily improved, but I’ll mention it anyway. Even though it didn’t bother my husband or me, you can clearly hear the sound of cars from the road.
3. I think the room could have been equipped with a few extra items, like plates and some cleaning supplies. However, I should say that you can get these things at the meeting center. Still, considering that you can’t rent for just one night and would be staying there for two nights without these items, it can be a bit inconvenient.
4. And lastly, but to me, the most important: the bathrooms. At least in the Juniper cabin, the nearest bathroom is about a 4 to 5 minute walk away, which I find very inconvenient if you’re someone who wakes up in the middle of the night needing to use the bathroom, or if, like me, you’re pregnant and literally need to go every five minutes haha. Something else to consider is that the bathroom is shared, I believe with the guests from the Willow cabin. However, I should say that the fact they were shared didn’t bother us, the bathrooms were generally clean and well-equipped.
We had a fun weekend and truly felt connected with nature, which was the main idea.

Very fun experience. I do wish I knew the bathroom wasn’t easily accessible, and it was hot, and full of bugs. Kitchen and bedrooms were great. Cold AC in rooms. Clean. Easy drive from Austin.

We had a wonderful time in the trees! It was contactless check in/ out. No real onsite store Coffee /tea provided but that is all.
Pool is more of a wading pool and could use some uplighting as we arrived after dark and could not find it. We got to feed the resident buffalo with one of the staff.
But the tree house was fantastic. We were in the Nest!

The Yoki tree house was absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations! The Yoki is the farthest away from the main entrance and is very private and secluded. While we didn’t see a single person during our two night stay, staff were only a call/text away and were very friendly and responsive to any questions. The bath house for the Yoki is beautiful and was incredible to sit in the tub and enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. The property provided robes and luxurious towels. The bedding was very comfortable with top quality linens and we slept well. It was so peaceful in the morning on the deck with a cup of coffee and watching/listening to the birds. While we didn’t use the pool, we walked around it and it was very clean/clear. Also loved the fact there were no televisions! Perfect retreat for a couple to reconnect with nature and with each other!!

We went here for our 7 year anniversary! We stayed at the Yoki and it was so relaxing and beautiful! We loved exploring the treehouse and seeing the Bison on the way in. The hot tub was lovely and we were surprised by how nice the bathhouse was! We found a couple ants in the kitchen but other than that it was a perfect getaway and we loved our experience!

Amazing stay. Traveled from Boston just after coming across this place on a quick Google search, and didn't disappoint. Great couples retreat. Quiet place away from city noise. The nest is probably not the place for kids or older adults given the bridges and stairs. Air conditioners was definitely a plus... stores are a bit far so be sure to buy snacks and drinks on your way there....and enjoy nature.

This was a great experience. I enjoyed it, it was a unique and fun experience way to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The surrounding area has plenty to do for a weekend trip, and the view cannot be beat. We stayed in the Willow treehouse, and it was beautiful to walk across the suspension bridge and at the end of the night going into our little treehouse to get rest. The mornings were magical as birds are awakening and singing. The only thing I wish could have been different, I wish we had a bathroom attached to our room, but it was a luxury worth giving up to be able to experience the treehouse life for a weekend. You do hear cars pass by on the nearby road, but that didn’t bother us, we found it a little soothing.

We recently stayed in the Lofthaven and it was such a special, unique getaway for our anniversary. I surprised my husband with it and it was just what he needed, a quiet place in nature to just relax and take it easy. It was clean, the AC worked really well, the waterfall tub was nice and easy to adjust the temperature, the shower’s hot water was working great, and the staff was great when we asked for extra coffee creamer and washcloths. The pool was also amazing, clean and the perfect temp. We enjoyed swimming, taking walks, star-gazing at night, and coffee on the patio in the mornings. There are several unique local restaurants to choose from just 5-10 minutes away. We loved Guernica’s Cafe, Angel’s Icehouse and It’s All Good BBQ.
I recommend this place 1,000 times over, especially for a special occasion. I know it’s a little pricey compared to other options but totally worth it for something you can’t find anywhere else.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere and friendly service at Cypress Valley! We were actually there during the catastrophic flooding of July 4th weekend. The dam overflowed and the main exit and entrance road was completely blocked by strong currents and water that was continuing to rise. We were asked to evacuate and assisted by Beau the property manager in doing so which I’m grateful for. I told staff I was worried about the costs because our trip was being cut short and they assured me it would be taken care of and the portion of our stay we weren’t able to attend would be refunded. This really helped me breathe a sigh of relief because it would have been a financial hardship in addition to a scary experience!
It was a really impactful time and I am glad the staff was responsive and competent in handling the situation!
I can’t wait to go back for future trips to enjoy the trees and nature!

I stayed at Juniper with my wife. The setting was scenic and a nice relaxing escape from the city. We slept really well. The room was cool and very well maintained. The location was perfect, as we were able to go hiking nearby in Inks Lake, and visit Austin. My only complaint was the short walk to the bathroom, which could probably be remedied by choosing a different treehouse.

We really appreciate the quiet time but the things we notice staying at The Nest. First things first walking in the place was great but there were hand prints on the windows in the kitchenette there was also no hot water so had to use kettle for hot water to clean dishes. Being in a cleaning business it’s a little concerning it’s just not very hygienic it just didn’t smell clean, There was no cleaning supplies to clean our own messes so felt dirty the whole weekend, There should be at least an all purpose cleaner.
Going into the bedrooms it was cold each night staying here and the place is not insulated. We had to turn the unit up in the master to at least 78 or higher for it to register the heat to kick on And of course couldn’t turn the ac on when it decided to get warm it would just leak water! This didn’t really mind I guess just thankful it wasn’t 100+
Getting into bed, the bed just did not smell clean, blankets just smell used.. so I would plan on bringing your own set we had our own stuff (Thankful)
On the second deck where the look out point is there is a step that is broken if not fixing (only because it does look great with the whole look) I would put a sign up or some lights just being excited one of us almost step right through the big gap. (It was dark) Not really a big deal just a thought.
Lastly, the bathhouse there is a crack at the bottom of your tub, so was not able to take a bath, had to shower with the door open because there was no ventilation, fan or airway for steam to escape. Now, in the state of Texas by law, you have to have some type of ventilation or fan in a bathhouse. You do not have to have AC, but ventilation has to be provided so you can prevent future mold growing, now I do see windows on the top of the bathhouse, but they are not open and no way to open them. also with the shower be careful had to plug a hole up in the shower right where the shower head is ( look don’t judge you never know)
Not really here to complain… But to pay what we paid to stay here each night I only hope they fix these problems before someone else books or someone’s sees this review and doesn’t waste their money!! Best of luck!
