Stay in a Dreamy Treehouse at Cypress Valley

This was a great experience. We stayed in the Willow Treehouse and it was absolutely wonderful. It poured down rain our first night and it was so nice and relaxing we didn't even mind getting soaked having to venture to the bathrooms. My one gripe though is that I wish the website made mention of how close the Willow/Juniper are to the main road because you could hear road traffic at all times of day. Not to an excessive or disturbing amount and never any honking or anything but it does take you out of the feeling of being in nature. Be aware though that the treehouse does rock with certain movements. I never felt unsafe at all but if that may bother you then be aware of that. Oh, and most important tip for the treehouses: you access them via a rope bridge that is very bouncy. Just move quickly and straight down the middle or you'll start to rock and get a nice test of your balance/core strength lol. If you have a suitcase I'd suggest leaving it in the car and just bringing your clothes for the day in a small bag with you across to make your life easier. It's perfectly safe but that first trek across was definitely an experience in its own right. The staff is very responsive via the direct line they give you but I think they're only around for regular business hours unless there's some emergency so be aware that if you have any issues, reach out to them ASAP because this isn't a major hotel brand with multiple staff members available at the drop of a hat. The first night we were there someone had left one of the shower doors open (despite the sign clear as day when you walk up stating to make sure they stay closed due to insects/snakes) and there was just a ton of dead wasps and several spiders in there. I texted the staff about it the next morning and it was cleaned up before we even went back to the bathrooms. Also, I see a lot of reviews talking about the lack of things to do onsite or things not working. I can't speak much to that effect as my fiance and I came with the expectation of being in the treehouse at night and exploring the surrounding area during the day. There are tons of great parks around. I cannot suggest enough taking the detour to Round Mountain Distillery. The owner Mike is a great guy who is very passionate about his craft with great stories. Also, Angel's Icehouse is a great local spot with good food. If you're there on a Monday/Tuesday then you will probably end up eating there as a lot of other spots around are closed those days but that's alright because it's dang good with a wide variety of food/drink options. For breakfast, Guernica's Cafe is just up the road and has fantastic coffee as well as breakfast paninis. You've also got Marble Falls just a short drive away if you're looking to get in the river (unfortunately due to the years of droughts Lake Travis is completely dried up around the local parks). Long story short, if you want a wilderness retreat that's unique, Cypress Valley is fantastic. Is it perfect and going to have the amenities/attentiveness of a 5 star hotel in a major metropolitan? No, there's a degree of self-sufficiency here. Is it going to be an experience that makes your friends and families jealous? You betcha.

We had a great stay in the juniper tree house. It was a little retreat for my husband and I for a few days and we enjoyed getting to experience Spicewood and the area around it. A few things to mention: 1. the Willow and Juniper treehouses and off the main road and you can head the traffic in your room at all hours. I didn’t think I was sensitive to the noise of traffic, but it is amplified when you are surrounded by this beautiful nature scenery and then hear multiple vehicles driving by. 2. The bathrooms are very well kept. I was a little nervous about the idea of community bathrooms and then being outdoor bathrooms, but they out did themselves with design, and upkeep. There are many, many daddy long legs on the outside of the bathroom doors (a few sneak their way in) but you are in the middle of trees and nature so it is expected. 3. The staff is incredibly friendly. 4. If you have a chance to venture out, go to Round Mountain Distillery (about 20 minute drive) Mike the owner is great company and has great rum. Angels has a great outdoor space with live music, and sweet berry farm was a fun activity depending on the season. 5. Ask if you can tour the event center, it is BEAUTIFUL! They need to be marketing this space because it is amazing. 6. There is some housekeeping that needs to be kept up with a little better mainly in the front office which I thought was strange because that’s where your guests come in to greet you. But it just needs a good dusting a sweep, nothing too serious. Overall our stay was good. I would recommend this for anyone wanting a unique little getaway, just don’t forget your sound machine!

We stayed in the Juniper treehouse and really enjoyed our time. It is very adventurous vibe and exactly what I was hoping for when we booked the place. The bathrooms are a small walk away, but nothing major and as others mentioned they are well maintained. The pool was cool too. They do a great job here. A few things people may want to know. It definitely is loud from the road noise at the juniper and willow. You’ll notice it’s not that far from Hwy 71. We were hearing cars and trucks all through the day and night. It’s not like honking and sirens loud, but you do hear the road noise pretty clearly. Also, if you are there when other people are staying in the neighboring treehouse it can be a little frustrating if they keep their lights on late at night as this glows right into the window. I took a picture, this was around 11 at night. I’m not sure how to combat this as they provide blinds and everyone is there to enjoy themselves, but I was hoping to feel a little more distanced from night lights being in nature. It was not a problem the first night when no one was in the neighboring treehouse. The staff is great though, anything we needed they were quick and helpful. All in all a great trip and fun times. If you are looking for something super secluded, this probably wouldn’t be the best spot. I am unsure if the more expensive treehouses have the road noise and light issue.

My wife & I stayed in the LOFTHAVEN for 2 nights. The bathouse is super humid & hot. We wanted to enjoy the waterfall but we ended not getting in at all because it was not clean & there was green mold in between the limestone. The bathroom was tiny & also not the cleanest. The sink in the bathroom is very slow, just use the kitchen sink. Just a little warning there will be bugs & the shower ONLY has cold water too. we found a scorpin in the shower & wolf spider. Overall for the PRICE we paid we wish it was much cleaner & We were pretty disappointed about the waterfall but The actual loft was great it was clean & peaceful! Shout out to Mrcool (the A/C unit) it worked the whole time we were there it kept us cool while we slept. If we came again we would have choose a different treehouse.

Do not come here ! For 300 bucks a night I would have expected a well manared gentlemen with an English accent . In reality - front desk would not even answear the phone ( if you are doomed - it’s on you, they don’t care if you have problems or not ) Second - you will have to share the dirty bathroom with some one else . Third - there is no gas in the grill ( come on ! For that much money you can’t even maintain your facility ?! ) Motel 6 has more common sense and a customer service , it’s a dirty , nasty place for a furtune per night . I am deeply surprised how you are still staying in business
