I recently returned from a girl's weekend in Austin and am so glad to have found this wonderful guesthouse! Susan was a great host! The home was stocked with everything we could have possibly needed... She also helped with suggestions on some of the activities we wanted to do.
The location is great - Close to Town Lake, SOCO and South Lamar, so paddleboarding, kayaking, great restaurants, shopping and bars are super close. I would highly recommend!

The Treetop Guesthouse was fabulous!

We stayed there for the weekend of our sons MBA graduation from UT.

The amenities were above and beyond! Complimentary beer, bottled water, yogurt, lemons, limes, coffee, and an assortment of teas – not to mention two pieces of chocolate on each night stand ~ Also included were many toiletries that were there “just in case”.

The guesthouse was spotless and decorated so beautifully – it reminded us of something out of HGTV! The pictures on the VRBO website portray it perfectly! It shows exactly how the home looks!

A nice touch is the two kitchens – my Mom stayed downstairs and my husband and I stayed up – it was convenient that she could make her coffee when she got up and we could have ours when we got up! Separate, but together -!

Susan was the greatest – even texting us on our second day just to be sure we were happy and to make sure we asked her if we needed anything~!

We totally recommend staying there! Our son, who is a Program Manager with a company in Austin, will recommend it to his co-workers and friends, as well!

My wife and I recently stayed at the guesthouse for 3 days and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was conveniently located and had sufficient parking. Susan had wonderful amenities and great suggestions about what to do and where to eat.She contacted us by email during our stay to see if we needed anything or had any questions. Stocking the refrigerator with beer, water, yogurt etc. was a very nice touch. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant. For a nice overview of the Austin area, and some relevant Texas history, we recommend the tour Austin Overtures, which departs from the visitor center downtown 3 times daily. And don't forget to see the bats!

We had a lovely time staying at the Treetop Guesthouse and will certainly stay there again sometime. We were very comfortable, the guesthouse was clean, nicely appointed with attractive modern furnishings, linens and towels, thoughtfully arranged, and the owners left special treats and necessities for our needs. Located in a quiet wooded neighborhood, but very close to all fun Downtown, S Lamar and S Congress venues in the heart of Austin. The owners had compiled a nice list of their personal favorite places to eat and things to do, which was helpful, too. Thanks for a great stay!
