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! ##### Ivanka F. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph C.

Our vacation could have not been better thanks to this fantastic owner. This property has luxury with character and will wow you the moment you walk through the front door. It was everything we could expect, and more. Thank you so much for making it such a great vacation. ##### Joseph C. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim H.

There was plenty of common space, both inside and out, where we could meet, as well as enough bedrooms for everyone to have their own private space. The location next to Zilker Park was a plus as well as we could take walks on breaks etc. The property mgt contact was very helpful and easy to work with. I recommend this property without reservation. ##### Tim H. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna H.

This gorgeous home is exactly like the photos. Every room and outdoor space is special and the attention to design detail is exquisite. The home was comfortable and spotlessly clean with all the kitchen supplies, extra blankets, and things one might need away from home. We especially appreciated having so many bathrooms, which was super convenient for our large party. It was so convenient to walk over to Barton Springs and the trails around Zilker Park, and we found tons of one of a kind places to eat and shop within minutes by car (also walkable if you're in shape and don't mind the heat!). Our host Lisa stayed in touch with us even before we arrived and sent lots of extra tips and ideas for our visit to Austin. It is obvious that she cares personally about her guests' experience and is happy to go the extra mile. Thank you, Lisa. We hope to be back! ##### Joni M.

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. ##### Melissa M.

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. ##### Lorelie P.

I had an absolutely incredible stay at this property in Austin, Texas. The property was immaculate—very spacious and sparkling clean. The host was outstanding, providing exceptional communication and going above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. I can’t say enough about how great our experience was and how impressed the entire group was with the property. The location may have been the best part of the stay. It was very close to Barton Springs and provided easy access to downtown Austin and all the places we needed to visit. If you’re coming to Austin, do not stay anywhere else. This is one of the best vacation rentals I have ever stayed at. Highly recommended! ##### Manny F. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amber B. Feb 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Amber B. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Z. Sep 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic - could not have been better! My group of 11 friends absolutely loved staying at the Glass Tree House! The home quickly became an important character in our long story of friendship, and I know we will be talking about it and our time in Austin for many years to come. Lisa thought of every single detail to make our stay both comfortable and memorable, from how beautifully both levels of the home are constructed, appointed, and cared for (she has not missed one detail!) to the super-helpful, conscientious, and friendly way she approaches every interaction, to all of the fantastic information she provides about things to do in the area (there are so many and within walking distance!). Our group takes a yearly trip together - this was our 9th - and we all agreed that we have not stayed in a more beautiful home or worked with a nicer person thus far. If I could give additional stars, I would. Readers of this review, don't hesitate to rent this home! Thank you again Lisa, for all the amazing memories you helped us to create!! ##### Mary Z.

With a group gathering for F1 consisting of 3 families with various ages and combinations of couples and singles we needed the flexibility of lots of room/bed combinations. This place provided! Additionally, there were plenty of bathrooms, tableware, seating for everyone. The patio/porches on both upper and lower levels were beautiful, tranquil places to hang out. The extra decorating touches throughout both levels made the place extra special. The host accommodated our varied arrival times by allowing us to check in early and check out late! ##### Kristie K.

Lisa was a wonderful host and available for all the questions we had before and during our stay! Our 15 person multi-generational family reunion loved staying at the property having two separate units to disperse. We loved the location and utilized the kitchens every night for dinner!

It is a beautiful place in a great location. Lisa (the host) was attentive and wonderful to work with. Everyone of my friends was impressed and commented on how nice it was. We often found ourselves coming back from the daily activities and just sitting in the upstairs living room, enjoying the view. You really can't go wrong here. ##### Andrew A.

Jun 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Outstanding rental for larger group The location is unbeatable as described. Easy walk to Barton Springs and Umlauf Sculpture Garden. We had a group of 12 for a family celebration and enjoyed the flexible spaces that allow for both privacy and gathering. Outdoor spaces on both levels. The kitchens are well stocked. Hills between units and going down to street level might be challenging for elderly people. The owner, Lisa, is friendly and communicative. It would have been helpful to know in advance that the rental provides only one bath towel per occupant, no pool or beach towels. If you want to take advantage of local water activities, you may end up washing a lot of towels! Everything else was excellent! Highly recommended. ##### Lara L.
