About this property

Parkside Glass Treehouse - 3 ACRE spring fed pool just past trees!! HIKE

Exotic, luxurious and unpretentious. Just plain fun!

* We know you will have the best possible Austin experience here. At this location EASY WALK TO 6 out of the “usual” top 10 “things to do” in Austin list…

All of these 6 are WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE

About this UNBEATABLE LOCATION:

1) Barton Springs Pool -(simply phenominal) 3-ACRE FRESHWATER SWIMMING HOLE is only 379 steps away.
2) 10 Mile Ladybird Lake LUSH Hike and Bike Trail
3) Botanical Gardens
4) Barton Creek Greenbelt hike
5) Umlauf Sculpture Gardens
6) Ladybird Lake Kayaking and Stand up paddle boarding.(when lake open)

On the other hand some guests have described the space as "an open air Costa Rican experience." I love all these descriptions. Thank you for taking time to look at our property. If you are not familiar with Austin, this property and location requires a HUGE FUN introduction… 😊 in a second you’ll see why. While we do not have a private pool or a beach. We do have something so UNUSUAL, spectacular and special we would love the opportunity for us to introduce you to BARTON SPRINGS Pool, Ladybird Lake 10 mile hike & bike trail, Zilker Park and its potential for you. (VRBO should have a filter check box for “OH my gosh you just gotta check out this UNBELIEVABLE location” -so truly spectacular experiences wouldn't be missed.)

I kindly urge you to take special note that the photos here were taken by me on just one morning 3 mile walk...that virtually starts RIGHT across the street.

We are 7 minutes to ALL THAT IS DOWNTOWN AUSTIN.
Nature and the Park take center stage in this vacation style Zilker Park property.

QUOTE IS REQUIRED FOR ALL HOLIDAYS and ALL MARCH and all OCTOBER dates. (instant booking not accepted)

PROPERTY BOOKED ON A PER PERSON BASIS.

GREAT flex rates apply. Only $75 per person per night after the first 11 guests. (except holiday and March & October special event periods) These flex rates offer booking confidence like an insurance policy. If you are forced to change the number of guests down the road, you can be refunded for those un-attending guests down to the base rate. This helps your group avoid having to bear the unexpected expense of those who cannot make it. Other flat rate rentals do not give you this benefit. The rates are based on a per person basis with a base rate minimum and then per person additional fees apply beyond the base rate. Please enter the correct number of guests for an accurate quote...for addt'l info regarding rates policy see rental document or inquire. If you need to add guests later, just let us know and we can invoice you.

In the words of a guest... "A 10 minute walk gets you EVERYTHING...spring fed pool, park, rooftop bar, bike rentals, brewery, amazing restaurants, food truck park, top rated BBQ & Sushi, movie theater, LIVE MUSIC, botanical gardens, sculpture garden... the list goes on!!!" AND just a 7 minute drive into downtown.

There are two incredible completely private independent levels to this property. THERE IS NO INTERIOR ACCESS between properties. So much room to roam & private space.

An enormous picture window enhances your experience of our beautiful Park in the open concept floor plan. This property captures the true essence of the park by bringing the outdoors into your living space. In the morning or evening, with the 3 French doors open, the breeze is spectacular. The property offers a tranquil rooftop setting embodied by all natural materials including; cedar ceilings, wood and limestone counters, stone flooring and a solid 4’ granite kitchen sink. 3 full Bathrooms boast pristine white stucco with sparkling Quartz rock flooring.

Amazing Property!
We rented the whole house for my sisters girls get-away weekend. The home is absolutely fantastic. It is so close to dining and restaurants, yet nestled in a lovely neighborhood, you feel like you’re “away” from all of the hustle and bustle. Additionally, the home is across the street from a wonderful park. Lisa, the owner of the property, is probably one of the most fantastic homeowners I have ever rented from. She is super sweet and super responsive. She accommodated every request I had and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was fantastic. This was such a wonderful experience, we will definitely be back!

Girls long weekend - AMAZING
I rented both units and it was FANTASTIC. The space was perfect for a big group, adorably decorated, with beautiful outdoor spaces, lots of natural light, well equipped and comfy beds. Every one of my guests was so impressed by the home. It was also very clean and it the BEST location - close to everything! I could not have found a better location for my birthday weekend. Lisa was also super helpful and responsive.

Best stay we could have asked for
The property is even better than the pictures. The location is incredible and it's beautifully decorated. The whole weekend we kept talking about what an incredible find it was and are already recommending it to all of our friends. Can't wait to come back one day!

60th Birthday Weekend
We rented both levels of this house (separate entrances) for a birthday weekend with 6 couples. The place feels like a treehouse, with big deck and patio, lovely water feature, and Zilker Park across the road. Bedrooms were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked, and Lisa has done a beautiful job of decorating and creating communal spaces.
