STARK MODERN LUXURY VACATION HOME WITH GOURMET KITCHEN AND HIGH TECH AMENITIES

I started looking for a house in Austin because my daughter was doing a summer term in UT and moving to a new apartment. In between moves, there were ten days in which she had nowhere to stay (we even had to place all her furniture in storage). I wanted a house close to campus where she would be able to do her school work and study for her final exams. Also, one where I had my own space to write. I am very glad I found ATX tree house available for our dates. It had every amenity I was looking for and more. It was very clean, to start. The design of the house is very modern; it has a "loft" feel about it. The bedrooms offer privacy and are very comfortable. Each bedroom has its own tv or screen. For someone who is very picky about pillows, blankets and towels, there are plenty to choose from and everything is first rate and fairly new. The bathroom is very sophisticated. I liked the fact that everything was custom made. Since I like to cook, the kitchen also was a delight. The living room and dining room are very well appointed and inviting. Due to the dates of our visit and the record heat around the time (never lower than 105ºF), we couldn't enjoy the space outdoors. We were never inclined to walk in the park, which I imagine must be very enjoyable when a bit cooler. And here I have to say that the air conditioning in the house was great. It was great to come in from the heat to a very cool house. Furthermore, at one point (as these things happen whenever you need them most), the air conditioning stopped working. I called Payam, the owner, and not even ten minutes later, there was someone at the door to check on it. A couple of hours later a technician came by and fixed it. The neighborhood around the house is working class, but it is a very peaceful place. We had no problem in our comings and goings. By the end of our stay, we didn't want to leave and we would go back on our next visit.

We were surprised to find that the Treehouse is even more beautiful than it was in the pictures!

The owner was very responsive and even left us free beer & wine!

The neighborhood was quiet, even during SXSW and we slept like babies.

Loved the roof deck best of all!

Our party of 4 was in Austin for the marathon and this property provided a comfortable home base where we could cook, hang out and relax. The 3 decks and gated front yard provided optimum outdoor space for entertainment. The Treehouse was well stocked with household essentials and was clean upon arrival. Since the south wall is entirely glass, there is an abundance of natural light. The owner, Payam, is a designer so the house showcases his work and talent. This is an upscale modern home and you can tell in all the details from light fixtures to the Viking stove. It was fun to pretend this was our home for 3 days. East Austin is definitely a transitional community, but we love staying in this neighborhood. It's less congested, about 400 yards to the Lady Bird Lake trail and it's close to downtown and easy to get to Zilker and Barton Springs. Overall, this house helped make our weekend very memorable. Payam was always quick to respond to my questions. I will stay at the Treehouse again and recommend it to others.
