ACL, Formula 1, Football top pick! Historic UT Tree House | Walk to Campus, Football & Moody Center | Creekside Retreat



When you come to Austin for a UT visit, summer camp, football game, Moody Center event, medical stay, graduation, or campus event, location matters.



This historic landmark tree house sits directly across from UT Law School and near the LBJ School, putting you in the heart of the University of Texas campus area. Walk to UT, Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium, Moody Center, Bass Concert Hall, and nearby medical facilities—without worrying about event traffic, rideshares, or downtown parking. ACL and COTA are also a drive away.



Yet when you return home, the setting feels surprisingly peaceful. Unwind beside the creek, listen to birds from the private patio, and relax beneath the trees after a busy Austin day.



Inside, enjoy 2 bedrooms, cloud-like queen beds, blackout curtains, a full kitchen, dedicated workspaces, fast Wi-Fi, window AC units, in-building laundry, and private parking directly in front of the home. The property is professionally cleaned and backed by responsive 24/7 guest support.

✹ Good to Know Before Booking



Historic Home: This is a historic tree house with distinctive character. We ask guests to treat the property thoughtfully and with the same care they would give their own home.



Air Conditioning: As part of the character of this historic property, the home is cooled with window AC units.



The home is located on a lively college road near UT. Many guests enjoy the energy and convenience of the area, but light sleepers may notice street and university-area noise, particularly during busy hours, football weekends, and major events. We have added a white noise machine in each bedroom to help with this.



Parking: Private guest parking is available directly in front of the house.



Rental Agreement & Security Deposit: To help ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay for everyone, all confirmed guests are asked to sign a short rental agreement after booking. A $300 security deposit hold will be placed and automatically released 7 days after checkout if no damages are reported.



Smoking: No smoking, weed, or vaping of any kind is permitted at the property. This includes preventing smoke from entering the home when smoking outside. Guests may be charged if a smoke odor is detected inside after checkout.



Pet Policy: Bringing a pet Please add your pet to the reservation or notify us before arrival. The applicable pet fee will be added to your booking.



Same-Day Bookings: Check-in may be delayed while our team prepares the home. Please confirm your expected arrival time with us before making a same-day reservation.



Seasonal Landscaping Note: Please note that outdoor landscaping, grass, and plants may naturally change in appearance depending on the season, especially during peak Texas summer heat. Drought conditions and local water-use restrictions may also limit watering, so lawns and landscaping may appear drier or less green than pictured. Thank you for understanding and helping us conserve water!



If you're coming to Austin and want to walk to UT, football games, Moody Center, and campus destinations while still having a creekside retreat to come home to, this historic tree house offers a combination that's hard to find around campus.



Have a question before or during your stay We're just a message or call away and look forward to hosting you in Austin.

    The house was positioned very close a very busy and noisy downtown street. Although noise makers were provided, the bedrooms sit so close to the road you can hear cars drive by and sirens were very loud.

    Excellent host - very quick to respond and helpful. Just had a quick overnight stay here for a concert at Bass Hall on UT campus, so didn't really spend much time in the house other than just to sleep.The location for Bass or other campus events is spectacular. Very quick and easy walk to Bass. The bedrooms are on the side of the house along Dean Keaton St, so if you are a light sleeper or otherwise sensitive to road noise, that might be a consideration. This did not bother me at all, but it did bother my friend somewhat. White noise machines are provided in both bedrooms to help with this. The bedrooms also have window unit ACs that when running would help as well.Overall my experience was good and comfortable. Would recommend and would stay again.

    Unfortunately was our first VRBO that didn’t match the photos and listing details. Having stayed here now, we are very surprised by the 5 star reviews.There is no mention that this home is located on an extremely busy street with 24 hour road noise. Ear plugs are a must for sleeping! It wasn’t relaxing or comfortable on many levels. The bed in the smaller bedroom was very comfortable. No dressers and few hangers in the one closet in the whole house.The deck and oak tree are lovely, but the deck doesn’t look like it is built to code. The deck chairs are uncomfortable for lounging.Cobwebs on the bedroom ceiling over our bed and the windows. Surfaces and bathroom were very clean.Bath towels are mismatched and old. The coffee pot had the wrong filters and stopped working.Many more disappointments and we will definitely not stay here again. The location is great for U of T events and you can catch ride shares easily. The area felt safe.
