Be it a family vacation, romantic getaway, birthday party or a trip on a whim, these tree houses are easily accessible and all aloft trees in the great state of Texas. If your ideal morning is enjoying a cup of coffee to the soundtrack of nature, do one better and join the birds in their leafy homes. If you or your kids feel inspired to wind through canopies, like Tarzan, some of these destinations feature breathtaking zip lines. Perhaps the most stunning feature that each lofty lodge shares is comfort. You won't be sacrificing luxury to roost above the rest.
Starting closest to home in Celeste, Texas, about 40 miles east of McKinney, Savannah's Meadow Treehouse Bed and Breakfast is a simplistic, peaceful getaway. The property has two tree houses: the Majestic Oak Treehouse and Bear Creek Hollow Treehouse. Each has its own style and feel. The Majestic Oak is aptly named for its surrounding trees that hold it two to three stories above the ground. Fully equipped with a kitchenette and living area, you'll find yourself wondering why you don't live here.
The Bear Creek Hollow Treehouse is above its namesake creek. It features a back patio where you can relax and drink in the view. Both houses can sleep up to six people comfortably, so bring the whole family! Did we mention that you're welcome to bring fishing gear for the property's well-stocked pond or that you can snag that perfect Instagram photo in the surrounding lavender fields?
Savannah's Meadow has something for everyone, including the kids, if they're inclined to enjoy the company of Simon the donkey and Henry the goat. The property also has plenty of trails to explore and a hot tub and pool for when you are ready to relax.
Aptly named, Treehouse Utopia has a diverse offering of homes. The name is appropriate for two reasons: The getaways are in Utopia, Texas, about 80 miles west of San Antonio, and they are truly perfect havens away from it all. Each tree house accommodates two people and features a full shower. Two of the tree houses, the Chappelle and the Chateau, also include full claw foot tubs for the ultimate treetop bubble bath. The Carousel and Bibliotheque tree houses finish out the four and are equally as stunning. Each one has unique stained glass window in some part of the house. Perched up in gigantic cypress trees and delicately decorated, these houses look like something out of a fairy tale.
The Chateau, for example, is two stories and has a 400 square-foot deck. A winding staircase is housed in a turret that leads to the master bedroom, which is large enough to house a king-size bed. The Bibliotheque (French for library), as the name suggests, is home to dozens of pieces of literature. It is a bookworm's dream. The Carousel is decorated in theme with its name as well and has a more whimsical feel than the rest. The Chappelle (French for chapel) has a stunning floor-to-ceiling arched window, reminiscent of gothic chapel architecture. Whether you're a romantic or a child at heart, these stunning tree houses are sure to leave you daydreaming.
A zip line and a wedding venue all in one? Count us in. This captures the beauty of Cypress Valley. It is elegant enough to inspire nuptials and fun enough to evoke squeals as you cruise through the canopy Located in Spicewood, Texas, about 30 minutes outside of Austin, Cypress Valley features two large tree houses, the Lofthaven and the Nest, and two smaller ones, Juniper and Willow. The latter two can comfortably sleep two and have shared outdoor restroom facilities. The Lofthaven and Nest, on the other hand, are all-inclusive and nothing short of impressive. The Nest is reminiscent of “Swiss Family Robinson” and can accommodate up to six guests.
It features two bedrooms, a kitchen, a connecting private bathhouse and possibly the best view on the property. The Lofthaven is perfect for a romantic getaway and features a beautiful ancient cypress tree growing through the middle of the house and a rock grotto waterfall-filling soaking tub in the private bathhouse. If you get a little heated from zip lining, cool off in the onsite vortex-fed pool or private lake, depending on rainfall. No matter if you're looking to go big or small, the variety of tree houses has it all.
