Enchanting Dog-Friendly Treehouse- The Elf's Aerie in the Lost Pines Shire

Enchanting, Secluded Getaway with Treetop Views: Welcome to Elf's Aerie Treehouse

Resting Amidst Lost Pines Forest

Escape to a realm of enchantment and tranquility at the Elf's Aerie treehouse. Whether you're seeking a romantic retreat or a delightful family vacation, this unique glamping experience invites you to embrace the serenity of nature while enjoying the comforts of home. Nestled amidst the treetops of Lost Pines Forest, Elf's Aerie promises an unforgettable stay where you can immerse yourself in the magic of the natural world. Best of all, we're dog-friendly and are thrilled to host you and your canine companions without any extra pet fees.

An Unforgettable Treetop Haven

As you ascend to the Elf's Aerie, you'll discover a comfortable queen-size bed, surrounded by a 360-degree raised deck that offers breathtaking treetop views. Two large chairs thoughtfully convert into twin beds, providing additional sleeping accommodations for your loved ones. Clean linens, towels, water, and a coffee maker with coffee are all thoughtfully supplied, ensuring your stay is both comfortable and convenient. Please note that there is no Wi-Fi or internet available at the treehouse, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature.

Modern Comforts in Nature's Embrace

The treehouse is equipped with air conditioning and a heater, ensuring that you remain cozy throughout your stay, regardless of the season. A small refrigerator with ice trays adds to your convenience. Illuminating lights both inside and below the treehouse allow you to extend your moments of relaxation and joy into the late evening hours. The bathroom area features a sink with cold running water and a small bathroom with a composting toilet. However, the highlight of this unique escape is the open-air outdoor shower, complete with both hot and cold water. With a luxurious rain shower head and body sprayer, the recycled glass bottle shower is a one-of-a-kind experience that will leave you refreshed and rejuvenated.

A Tranquil Sanctuary for All, Including Your Furry Friends

At Elf's Aerie, we understand that dogs are cherished family members, and we warmly welcome them to join in on the adventure! There's no need to leave your beloved pups behind, as we happily accommodate canine guests at no extra cost. Your four-legged companions will be just as enchanted by the sights and sounds of the treetops, making it a true family getaway for all.

Culinary Adventures Amongst the Trees

Immerse yourself in culinary delights with a propane grill and all the essential cooking implements, pots, pans, and dishware for four, thoughtfully supplied for your cooking escapades. A camping sink on the ground level is available for washing up after preparing your delicious meals. Don't forget to bring an additional cooler with ice to keep your beverages chilled as you indulge in outdoor dining amidst the forest's embrace.

A Tranquil Sanctuary for All

As guests of the Elf's Aerie, you'll share 42 acres of densely wooded Lost Pines Forest with residents, two short-term rental guest houses, and one other charming treehouse. Delight in wandering along shaded trails, observing wildlife in their natural habitat. Deer, lizards, roadrunners, woodpeckers, and hawks grace the surroundings, making it a haven for birdwatching enthusiasts. As the sun sets, the west-facing balconies offer the perfect vantage point to witness stunning sunsets and observe the wildlife coming to life.

Adventure Awaits Beyond the Treetops

Venture beyond the treehouse to explore the wonders of Bastrop and its surrounding areas. The 900-acre Lake Bastrop South & North Shore Parks are just 8 miles away, offering a variety of outdoor activities. Bastrop State Park, with its trails and swimming pool, awaits just 8 miles away, while the Colorado River and kayak rentals are a mere 10 miles from the treehouse. Bastrop's restaurants and quaint antique stores are close by, promising delightful excursions for visitors.

The Perfect getaway
Hi, I needed a place to relax and get away from the city. I ended up going as a solo female and felt completely comfortable staying at this location. The cabin was lovely, neat, and clean. It was perfect for me. It was breath of fresh air literally.

Very well thought-out
I've stayed in many many properties from VRBO and others, and this place was SOO well thought-out!! From every little thing- I was super impressed!!! It's even nicer than the photos when you are there. We had an amazing time out by the fire at night and very much "glamping" vibes but it was really really nice!!!!! I couldn't believe how clean everything was especially considering a lot of it was outdoors, it felt brand new. AC worked well, I will definitely be back!!! XOXO

Enchanting indeed!
This was an amazing stay. I give it 99/100! The only thing I was left wanting was a skillet for cooking, there was everything you would ever need for cooking out doors (even 3 separate pots), just no skillet. Everything else about the stay was perfect! I’ll be telling all my elf friends they need to come to the tree house off Old Potato Road!

Scenic glamping
What a sweet and charming getaway! I appreciate all the special touches. They even have marshmallow skewers for making s'mores. Our six year old thought the outdoor shower constructed of recycled glass bottles was the coolest part. You'll love staying here with your family.

Lovely weekend getaway
There is something for everyone to love here. We enjoyed the multiple seating areas outside and the incredible star gazing. Our six year old loved EVERYTHING, especially the outdoor shower! Our city dog was in hog heaven being able to run around free. We were in the area to visit the state parks and this property is easily located near both. Downtown Bastrop was so fun and the food was amazing! We can't wait for our next visit!!

Anniversary to Remember
What a wonderful experience!! My husband and I spent the weekend there for our wedding anniversary and wow we were impressed! You feel safe and secure the moment you drive up because it is gate (with code) protected! The view from the air conditioned bed room is absolutely breath taking at sunrise and sunset! There are seating options in the balcony and two wonderful hammock swings in the common area! The grill was easy to use and the fire pit was beautiful!! The host was wonderful! We will absolutely go back, we have found our weekend gateway spot from here on out!! Can't wait to bring our dogs and our son to experience this little spot!!

A Wonderful Experience
The Elf’s Aerie is a fantastic tree house. It is a must have experience. James is a great host! We enjoyed the outdoor hot water shower in an artistic building. We had a delicious on-site campfire dinner with our dogs Mickey and Leila. The tree house is at a convenient location, 4 minutes to grocery stores and 10 minutes to Bastrop Walmart, Buc-ee’s, and 2 state parks. We drove a Tesla for the road trip. The Buc-ee’s most current superchargers made our trip easier.

The Elf’s Aerie was exactly as advertised. It was easy to find and check in. The place was very clean and the outdoor shower was a nice experience. The restroom was very clean as well. Nice getaway, my husband and I would definitely come back. Towels, shampoo, conditioner and body bar soap were provided. They even had some waters in the mini fridge. Coffee station well stocked.

Great experience for kids
Great experience overall. Pretty nice location. The house is beautiful and sits on a pretty nice lot. Restrooms are showers are downstairs and it makes the experience very fun. There are spiders and spiders web everywhere so you gotta learn how to deal with it bc its in d middle of d woods. We did have an incidents with neighbor dogs. My daughter and my wife went downstairs to brush their teeth and a dog attacked my daughter in the morning and since then my daughter decided not to go downstairs anymore. It was black bulldog with collar which decided to run at my daughter out of nowhere. We had to throw rocks at him to get rid of him . It was probably neighbors dogs or another visitor dog, im not sure. Anyway be careful when you are with little kids. You can’t leave them alone in the area. Since the area was gated, i was pretty sure i can let them go by themselves but I think I made a mistake. You gotta watch them at anytime. Host was great and very quick to respond. There were games , coffee and water in property. AC was working fine as well. We did have a short time to stay. We booked two nights but bc of our schedule we stayed one night only. Will certainly go back again to fully experience this place.

It was a wonderful get away. We got to watch the stars and enjoy the sound of nature. If we felt like going into town Bastrop was not very far and had wonderful things to do in town. the Paige farmhouse dinner was very close and delicious food. We cant wait to come back and try staying at the Hobbits nest

Made our daughter’s birthday special!
We booked the Elf’s Aerie for our daughter’s 15th birthday. She (we) loved it! The 3 of us were cozy but comfortable in the Aerie. Our stay was during a Texas heatwave so the air conditioning was a must and kept us nice and cool throughout our stay. Our daughter loves stargazing. If we would have allowed it, she would’ve stayed up all night roasting marshmallows by the campfire and gazing at the stars. The owners have seemingly thought of everything we needed for an awesome stay. We even loved the unique outdoor shower. The location is peaceful and rural but only 15 minutes or so from Bastrop. Highly recommend!
