Welcome to your own private holler—where magic hangs from the trees and time slows to a whisper. Robin’s Nest is a real treehouse—built atop 7 oaks with no tape measure, no level, and no blueprints—just imagination, old wood, and 150-year-old treasures tucked into every corner. It’s not a house on sticks next to trees. It’s in the trees. And when you’re here, you’re not on our time. You’re on treehouse time. This isn’t polished, modern luxury. It’s barefoot luxury. A dreamy, playful escape with simple comforts: a swinging queen daybed, open-air master bath in the tree with you, fire pit, cowboy hot tub, and a rope cargo net for lounging in the forest. There are trails to wander, frogs to sing you to sleep, and stars above. Push open the double doors. Slide the futon against the handrail under the roof cover. Turn off the lights and leave only the fairy lights glowing. Across the pond, a spotlight shines on a little feeder, and if you’ve been quiet, you’ll see deer, raccoons, and other critters play in the dark—like a living storybook, better than TV. Leave the doors open. Let the cool AC wash over you. This moment is yours. The entire holler is yours. No neighbors. No campers. No shared anything. Just you and the wild around you. This land is a working wildlife sanctuary, cared for with 50 years of hands-on learning. Please don’t bring poisons—they hurt the good critters too. The yellow-and-black mud daubers? Harmless to humans, deadly to harmful spiders. The big harmless, banana spiders keep flies and mosquitos away. It's nature in balance. If the pond’s low, bring a float or take our kayaks ten minutes away to a secret bend in the San Marcos River. We’ll share the pin. Your close to town but, fully immersed in nature, so it's not ideal for small kids to wander alone. Ladders, beds, and trails aren’t built to code. Adults should be fit and wear sturdy shoes if going far from camp. One night is fun. But your happy place deserves more than that. This is your holler now.

Our stay at The Robin’s Nest was the perfect weekend getaway from the city. This unique home will truly have you sleeping in the trees. Everything you need is there, from coffee to firewood to a canoe for the pond! Shellie was friendly and helpful and quick to answer any questions I had. This is a special place. We look forward to staying here again!

My wife and I and our 2 dogs enjoyed the treehouse very much. Secluded, but also close to stores and restaurants. Dogs loved swimming in the pond. The outdoor shower at night is cool. Host is responsive and makes good suggestions! Would stay again for sure. Relaxing vibes.

My partner and I scheduled this stay on short-notice to get away before I started my new job. The weekend felt so relaxing, private, romantic, and adventurous. We stayed in August, so while it was a bit hot in the middle of the day, the AC in the cabin, outdoor shower, and bathtub provided lots of ways to cool down. The host was very responsive and helpful during our stay.

This property and the owner are absolutely beautiful. Very responsive and everything you could ask for in a quick weekend trip. This is off the beaten path so be careful! We did encounter a Copperhead as well as some other friends of the forest. Nature was beautiful, extremely relaxing- HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Weekend Trip to Secluded Treehouse/AC, Real Privacy

I surprised my partner with a weekend at Robin's Nest for his birthday, and it could not have been a better gift; he loved it. We brought our 3 pups, who loved every second of running around exploring the woods. We spent the entire time completely disconnected from the outside world (no cell service) and just relaxing and enjoying the type of privacy we very rarely get to enjoy living in the city. We were able to hear the highway which provided a feeling of safety, knowing we weren't actually in some desolate place, but aside from that, it was 100% private and we couldn't hear anything or anyone else other than nature. Can't wait to go back!

Very interesting and comfortable treehouse! Very private and the tub and fire were perfect. You will hear the highway unfortunately, but it was still quite relaxing with a ton of wildlife. You can feel the love that went into building this special structure.

Me and my family loved this treehouse! It was tons of fun for the kids - there are games, puzzles, kayaks, a canoe, a cargo net, arts & crafts and a nice little "hike" on the property. The water was low but the host sent us another spot we could checkout closeby if we wanted more water- turns out there was plenty still to entertain the kids. There are pantry staples and basic seasonings, a small electric cook top thing, a few pans/pot, mini fridge, kettle, coffeemaker and a toaster oven. If you find you need something you are nearby a store (but don't worry, this is a nice isolated place. I never felt like there was anyone nearby! I did hear some loud music a couple of times at night, maybe from a neighbor? but it subsided around midnight and wasn't *too* loud.) There are 3 cute ducks that hang around and a bunch of cardinals and other small songbirds that pop up- one even greeted me in the shower, haha. The weather was perfect - especially for sleeping outside in the hanging bed. The host is super nice and will answer quickly! If you are thinking of booking, for a romantic getaway or a little fun with the kids (or both) - you can find it here.

This was a real treehouse with just enough upgrades to make it comfortable. We had a wonderful break away from the city here. It was so nice to just relax with the kids and have a break from TV and phones. Highly recommend!!!

This treehouse is a wondrous place to take a retreat from your day-to-day. Me and my partner came for a little one on one time. The cowboy bathtub was the highlight for me (a person who chooses vacation destinations based on tub quality). Each “porch” of the tree house was cozy and whimsical. The inside is full of games, art supplies, and plenty of natural light. Waking up and opening the doors to let the fresh air and sunshine in was rejuvenating and peaceful. The energy of this entire property was absolutely inviting, refreshing, and very special. The only gripe I have is that we couldn’t stay long enough to get to our list of desired activities during our stay. (pond swimming, hammock chilling, yoga, swinging daybed reading, etc). Shellie let us know about a spectacular brunch spot near by. She was communicative and helpful our entire stay. We will absolutely be visiting again!

Beautiful treehouse! The AC was cool during the day, and the electric heater was fantastic in the evenings when it got cool outside. Everything was very cozy, and I definitely second what other Hipcampers have said about the shower being AMAZING! I used it twice in one day! 🤣 The entire site is very private, and we saw a few critters roaming around. I will say that the stairs are definitely steep, more in between a ladder and stairs, so only our shiba inu came up to the treehouse. Our other 2 larger dogs stayed on their leads on the ground. The queen day bed was so comfy, and the weather was so nice that we ended up spending most of our evenings out there, until after midnight. It was so calm and I definitely recommend it. Very unique, and quiet, stay.

We loved staying at the treehouse on Shellie’s property! It was thoughtfully set up with much of the necessities to make packing easy. We couldn’t believe how clean the outdoor swinging bed was given the elements, but it was immaculate. We slept and read books there and it was a dream. The campsite provided the perfect amount of firewood and it was a very private spot. Shellie was amazing with communication and went above and beyond. We will definitely be staying again next time we need a quick escape from ATX.
