An outdoor shower provides both hot and cold water and a relaxing bathing experience. Please be aware that the hot water temperature might not rise enough to shower in very cold weather.

Guests will share 42 heavily wooded acres in the Lost Pines Forest with the owners and two short term rental guest houses. There are shaded trails for walking and observing wildlife. The tree house overlooks a small pond filled with lily pads and frogs. The west facing balconies are a great place to watch sunsets and listen to the frog orchestra.
The property is about 8 miles from Bastrop State Park's trails and swimming pool, 10 miles to the Colorado River and kayak rental and Bastrop's restaurants. We are near many antique stores and the Round Top antique fair. The Sherwood Forest Faire site is only 6 miles away.

2nd trip even better than the first if that’s possible! I brought a burner with me and loved cooking outside! The heater kept us toasty inside and James and his family were loving and kind to my pups, who absolutely loved treehouse living. Thank you!
This is a great place for a peaceful night or two. The hobbit nest is adorable, the landscape is beautiful, and we loved our stay.
Jim made sure you had everything you needed. The area is beautiful to explore, and you always have a comfy bed and clean bathroom to go back to. We brought tons of books to read while watching the lily pond, our dogs laid on their beds and we just enjoyed the peace. Jim even gave us a tour of his other treehouse he’s building nearby. It was a great experience and I’ve already recommended to my friends as the perfect get away close to Austin.
The directions to get there were quite helpful. This place is a bit harder to find in the dark once on the property.
The attention to detail was super cute inside. We loved the space heaters, all of the signs, and Tolkien memorabilia. The bed was comfy and cozy. The space was charming and well thought out. We thought the space was perfect for two people plus a pup.
We appreciated the tools for cooking that were there along with the small fridge. People should know to bring their own cooking knives, olive oil and seasonings if cooking. The grill was quite helpful.
Absolutely outstanding in every way! Thoughtfully designed, furnished, stocked, and maintained. A+ experience, recommended, thank you!
The hobbits nest is a great unique property. It’s private and has a great pond view from the balcony in the trees.
Must go place
My husband is a huge LOTR fan. We chose to stay in this magnificent treehouse to celebrate his 50th birthday. We were amazed by the craftmanship and details all around. Jim drove us around the property on his ATV and gave a quick, fun tour. Our stay was magical and memorable. We give the highest marks possible. We will definitely be back.
We love staying at tree houses and so far the Hobbit's nest is our favorite. We love the little details and design of the tree house, we enjoyed the view of the pond in the morning and at relaxed evenings. We love cooking and relaxing by the fire. The host
James is very nice and accommodating. We were able to unwind on our 10th year anniversary and plan to come back soon with our kids.
