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!

Robin's Nest Real Treehouse
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.

Robin's Nest Real Treehouse
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.

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.

Robin's Nest Real Treehouse
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.

Sleeping in a treehouse was on my bucket list, and I was not disappointed. Shellie has thoughtfully decorated every inch inside this "real" treehouse and stocked it with activities for any age. There are games and painting supplies to keep every member mindfully busy. Being disconnected from the electronic world can be intimidating for some but my wife and I found it to be relaxing and rejuvenating. Sitting on the porch and sipping coffee at day break was unbeatable as we marveled at nature and the serenity that surrounded us. Not to brag....but how many of us can sit in a hot bath at night and stare up at the stars!!! The wife did not want to come home.

We cherished our time at the treehouse. Everything was so magical, and out host Shellie was very communicative and accommodating. There was everything you needed to have a rejuvenating retreat. Art supplies and inspiration, cooking supplies, fire pit, plenty of space to explore, and my personal favorite: the outdoor shower!! Thank you Shellie for providing such a magical experience. We hope to be back soon!

Robin’s treehouse is a GEM! Such a fun escape from the city- from the whimsical set up inside, to the beautiful outdoor bathroom, every part of her property made us feel like we were kids exploring again. Definitely recommend!

Great place! My wife and I really enjoyed staying at the treehouse and we will definitely be back. The actual treehouse itself is very comfortable and cozy. Our favorite part was the swimming pond. There is a canoe and we had so much fun using it. Thank you for a great time!

I booked Robin's Treehouse for my boyfriend's 29th birthday. It was very easy to find and I was surprised at how simple the check-in process was. The walkways were swept and there was a new citronella candle waiting for us which was very much appreciated. If you happen to forget anything, Shellie has everything you'd need. We loved admiring the art inside the treehouse, using the outdoor shower and tub, going fishing (we caught one!), feeding the ducks, and cooking delicious meals. The only suggestion I can think of is moving some of the firewood inside or to a covered area so it doesn't get wet. We weren't able to make a fire because everything was so damp from it raining the day before - we tried cutting some wood with the axe but still no luck getting it to light. If it rains before your trip, I would suggest bringing your own firewood. Thankfully Shellie had a hot plate upstairs so we used that to cook our meals - we made creamy sun-dried tomato chicken, potatoes, skillet cookie, bacon, eggs, and sausage! We loved the sounds of nature at night and relaxing in the outdoor swinging bed (the fan inside the bed is perfect!). Be aware of your surroundings when you walk because the spiders like making webs on the beams of the treehouse, but you're outside so what can you expect. Overall we had a really great trip and made lots of special memories!

I loved this place! It has everything we need. There’s snacks, games, art supplies, a bathroom/shower combo, a comfy bed and secluded. There’s ducks, a few ponds and tree coverage from the sun. We loved that people have written in the journals and left artwork. I would definitely come back. I do caution guests with older dogs that the wooden bridge has slots in between and my dog is clumsy so he got stuck a few times. Our host was very helpful and responsive. The place was in very clean too. We saw lots of spiders (which are friendly!) but otherwise they gave us our freedom to roam around their home. We relaxed in the hammocks and took the little trail a few times for exercise. This location is near San Marcos, Lockhart and New Braunfels… so it’s close to swimming holes, hiking and exploring. There’s a section of the Guadeloupe River very close to this tree house that doesn’t have too many visitors. There’s also nice cafes nearby and gas stations if you need to pick up some items. Instructions to the place are very clear and Google maps worked great getting there. Highly recommend and would love to come back.

We had such a great time at Shellie’s treehouse. She went above and beyond providing everything you could want or need. It was a wonderful way to escape reality and connect with nature. The stairs are more like ladders which was tough for our dog to manage but he figured it out. It’s only 10 minutes from Lockhart and it was easy to find. 10/10 experience!

This is a great out of the way spot that is very private. You have the whole place to yourself; no other sites on the land. Great place to get away and disconnect for a few days. I lucked out with good weather and spent the entire time outside. I slept outside in the swinging bed under the treehouse. It was very comfortable. The pond at the back of the property is a nice place to hangout. I'll definitely visit again.

Exceeded all expectations! The night time ambiance is simply mesmerizing, far beyond what photos convey. The outdoor shower offers privacy without sacrificing the immersive experience. This isn't just a place to stay, it's an invitation to embrace nature. I'm already planning my return and have recommended it to others. My only regret? Not staying longer. Well worth the drive!

This was my friend’s first ‘outdoor’ experience and she loved the attention to detail, with the fridge, a/c, coffee, Bluetooth speaker, linens, etc. I loved the fire pit, the different levels to explore, swing bed with netting ( I slept outside, very comfortable)! Lockhart is right down the road, great time 😎
