Chill in the secluded, tree-lined yard at a refined retreat. Live among the trees at a 2-story hideaway combining downtown views, vintage artwork, and reclaimed light fixtures. Unwind with a game of cards around the chic monochrome table, then climb the spiral staircase for a restful night's sleep. We built and furnished the Bird Nest with some of our favorite pieces- vintage artwork, reclaimed light fixtures, industrial sink, SMEG fridge, circular staircase, wide plank oak floors. The Bird Nest is in our backyard yet very much a private getaway - No windows face our house, it has it's own entrance (accessible by staircase), small yard, alley access and parking for 1 car. The Bird Nest is all self check-in. Come and go as you please with your own entrance off the alleyway. We live in the main house and are available as needed. Please note, we have stairs- lots of them! There is a flight of stairs to access the front door, and a circular staircase inside. If stairs are not your thing, this place is not for you! At this time, we do not have a baby gate for the top of the stairs. It's a residential neighborhood, with 2 alley flat residents nearby so we ask that you not be loud as you come and go in the evening, especially late at night!

Ashley was a great host, and the Tree Canopy was the perfect getaway destination. Excellent location and all the amenities you could need! We really appreciated the local recommendations and would absolutely book the canopy again!
We had a great stay at the Tree Canopy Apartment. It was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was a nice neighborhood and convenient to downtown Austin. We would definitely stay again.
Very well-maintained and comfortable stay for our visit to the UT football game. Ashley was a great and responsive host which made checking in and out easy, along with any other questions we had.I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a central location in Austin to stay with a friend or two
The place was awesome and perfect location for a UT football game! One thing the fridge kept beeping for some reason but wasn't a problem.

Hi Aaron, Our apologies for the beeping fridge1 We thought it was a breaker issue that kept resetting the fridge but a technician discovered an issue with the freezer fan and we are currently defrosting it every 2 days to prevent the beeping while we wait on the part to arrive.
