Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2007

We love owning The Treehouse Vacation Cabin. When our guests arrive, they often call to tell us that "IT IS WONDERFUL" and that they are really enjoying their stay. It is not unusual for our guests to invite others to join them or request additional days to stay longer.

Our guests are great! They take such good care of The Treehouse Vacation Cabin, like it was their own home.

We have owned The Treehouse Vacation Cabin for nearly 3 years. My husband, Mike, and I have been in the vacation rental business for many years. It has been a rewarding business, making our guests happy by providing a special place to spend their vacations.

We are developing acreage besides The Treehouse Vacation Cabin where our guests will get to see herds of Texas Longhorn cattle, olive orchards, "Hot Wheels" the painted donkey, guinea hens, "Jerry" the sheep, and beautiful horses that run through the pastures. In our free time, we enjoy our grandchildren, antiquing, and just relaxing in the country.

Come enjoy this secret hideaway in Central Texas!!!

Why the Owner Chose Smithville

We live in Smithville and found this lovely property along the Colorado River. It is particularly fun for our visitors since it is the only vacation rental on this stretch of the river.

The Unique Benefits of this Cabin

You get to enjoy the river and the area around it every time you visit. There is never a "better" season to visit to visit The Treehouse Vacation Cabin. In the Summer and Spring, you can enjoy the birds, animals, fishing, canoeing, kayaking outdoor dining. Winter and Fall, you see more of the land when the trees lose their leaves and can cuddle up in front of the fireplace. In the Fall and Winter, you can see the Bald Eagle families on the water. The Treehouse is located just 3 miles from Smithville that has the area's best antique shopping. It is also the first "Film Friendly" town in Texas...a big attaction for filming and commercials. The Treehouse is located close to major highways to allow easy access to Austin, Houston, San Marcos Outlet Malls, San Antonio, Antique Shows in Round Top/Warrenton, and many other Central Texas activities.

    • Great place to take the furkids, very pet friendly cabin. Upstairs fenced deck is gated so the dogs can play outside and not escape. We rolled up the few throw rugs so they wouldn't get covered with husky hair and wood floor was easy to sweep. Took the dogs for a hike at Bastrop park which is only about 12 miles away and we also took them for a hike along Cypress Creek in Wimberley. Dogs also enjoyed the creek and river that are on the cabin property. Did I mention the view?

      As usual we had a wonderful "family time" at the Treehouse. It is a great getaway and is so comfortable. We love the new sofa and big screen TV. We'll be back soon.
