Austin’s slogan is “Keep Austin Weird,” but their treehouse rentals are anything but. Offering luxurious accommodations and beautiful treehouse designs set in stunning nature, the treehouses I show you here are rustic on the outside but incredibly modern on the inside.
With over 33 million trees in Austin, you’ll never run out of treehouse rentals to stay in. There’s a treehouse for a romantic getaway, a treehouse located only a few steps away from Zilker Park, and secluded rentals that offer much-needed rest and relaxation from the hustle and bustle of the Texas capital city.
So here are 6 Austin treehouse rentals that are perfectly situated within and outside the city:

Location: Austin, Texas
Price: $1,585
Book on VRBO
I’ve featured this treehouse in the Texas treehouse rentals article previously but I believe it deserves another mention. This treehouse has a superb location in the city, with plenty of outdoor activities to be enjoyed only minutes away.
Zilker Park is just a few steps from the front door of this rental, where views of the park are seen from the upper deck.
The rental is the second story of this duplex, putting you in a space that’s among the trees. There are large windows on every side of the treehouse, giving you plenty of beautiful views and natural light during the daytime.
This Austin City treehouse rental features 5 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms, and sleeps 10, making it the perfect treehouse getaway for an entire family. What makes it great as a family vacation rental is that it offers all the activities of a rural guesthouse without having to leave the city.
There’s also a complete kitchen, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating areas, a garden, and a dining area, and the Barton Springs Pool is just across the rental.
2. The Treehouse on Lake Travis

This treehouse is one of several rentals located on this private property on the south shores of Lake Travis. From the treehouse deck, you’ll find serene and stunning lake views, as well as beautiful trees that surround the structure.
There are 2 bedrooms in this rental, as well as 2 bathrooms, and sleeps 4. It’s an excellent choice for couples or a group of friends, or a small family.
There’s also a shared pool and outdoor hot tub for guests of all the treehouses, which is located on a beautiful cliff overlooking the lake.
Other features of this treehouse include a wraparound deck, a shared firepit, WiFi, first-class amenities, and rooms opening up to patios. It’s also only minutes away from attractions and resorts nearby.

This luxury treehouse is also located within the vicinity of Zilker Park, where outdoor fun and adventures are mere minutes away from the rental. It has a beautiful open concept on the ground floor, where you will find the living, kitchen, and dining areas.

Location: Dripping Springs, Texas
Price: $93
Book on Expedia
Arbour Treehouse is only 30 to 40 minutes away from downtown Austin, featuring 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and sleeps 4. This is an ideal option for couples or a small family or group of friends.
It also has air conditioning, a kitchen, an outdoor space, a BBQ grill on the deck, and features amazing water views. It’s located on a dead-end road offering a tranquil escapade for guests but also very close to town, offering modern conveniences for those who don’t want to stay in a secluded treehouse rental in Austin.
5. Elfs Aerie Treehouse

Location: Paige, Texas
Price: $161
Book on Expedia
This treehouse rental is located in a heavily wooded 42-acre private property, with its very own shaded trails you can explore. This is the opposite of the rental I talked about in Treehouse number 4, which is nearer to town.
This treehouse is perfect for anyone who wants to unwind and relax in nature, as it also doesn’t have WiFi, so you can enjoy spending more time outdoors.
It features 1 bedroom, and 1 bathroom, and sleeps 4, making it a great couples retreat or a vacation rental for a small family. It also has air conditioning, 360-degree views of the treetops, an outdoor shower, a firepit, and if you stay on the west-facing balconies, you will see magnificent Austin sunsets.
6. The Yellow Treehouse by the Lake

And lastly, The Yellow Treehouse by the Lake is a great option for groups or families of 6. It has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and sleeps 6. It is pet and kid-friendly, making it ideal for whole families to enjoy.
The interiors are modern, offering a comfortable stay whilst surrounded by beautiful nature. There’s also a washer and dryer area, a fully-equipped kitchen, TV, WiFi, and an outdoor enclosed shower.
Bathroom two also features a bathtub, making it a great spot to read a book or take a warm bath with your loved one.
Other impressive details about this Austin treehouse rental are its location, being rustic but also close to town, as well as offering a massive backyard deck.
Austin is home to millions of trees, nearby mountains, lakes, creeks, and wooded areas, making the perfect settings and backdrop for a wide range of treehouse rentals.
