The Hobbit's Nest, A Magical Dog-friendly Treehouse in the Lost Pines Shire

Escape to a world of magic and wonder with a visit to the enchanting Hobbit's Nest treehouse

Resting amidst the lush treetops of Lost Pines Forest, the Hobbit's Nest promises an unforgettable stay where your imagination can run wild and your soul can find solace in the beauty of the natural world in the 42 acre Lost Pines Shire.


A Whimsical Abode with Modern Comforts
As you ascend into the cozy embrace of the treehouse, you'll be greeted by a comfortable queen-size bed, offering a bird's-eye view of the surrounding forest canopy. Should you desire additional sleeping arrangements, two cots and/or two air mattresses are available upon request, providing room for the whole family to indulge in a unique camping experience amongst the trees. Clean linens, towels, and a K-cup coffee maker with coffee are all thoughtfully supplied, ensuring your stay is nothing short of delightful.


Nature's Comforts with a Touch of Magic
Recent additions to the treehouse include electricity, an air conditioner/heater mini split, and a small refrigerator with ice trays. These modern amenities harmoniously blend with the natural setting, providing both comfort and convenience during your stay. Illuminating lights both inside and below the treehouse allow you to savor the recreational spaces well into the evening, extending your moments of joy in this enchanting realm. 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.

A Culinary Journey with Nature's Bounty
Immerse yourself in the joy of cooking with a propane grill and all the essential cooking implements, pots, pans, and dishware for four, thoughtfully supplied for your culinary adventures. A portable camping sink is conveniently available below for washing up after a scrumptious meal. Consider bringing an additional cooler with ice for your drinks, enhancing your outdoor dining experience. Dog-Friendly Haven The Hobbit's Nest is not only a magical retreat for humans but also a welcoming haven for your furry friends. We understand that dogs are cherished family members, and we are delighted to offer a dog-friendly environment where your canine companions can join in on the adventure. We never charge an extra fee for dogs, so feel free to bring your beloved pup along for a joyous escapade amidst the treetops.


Magical Moments Amidst Nature
As guests of the Hobbit's Nest, you'll share 42 acres of densely wooded Lost Pines Forest with the owners, two short-term rental guest houses, and another charming treehouse. Wander through shaded trails, observing wildlife as they play amongst the trees. The treehouse overlooks a small pond adorned with lily pads and frequented by a symphony of frogs, setting the stage for tranquil sunsets and serene evenings spent stargazing. A World of Adventure Awaits Venture beyond the treehouse to explore the wonders of Bastrop and its surrounding areas. Just 8 miles away, Bastrop State Park beckons with its enticing trails and refreshing swimming pool.

Absolutely Enchanting!
Both myself and our two kids LOVED this stay!!! It was the highlight of our Texas vacation to stay in a real treehouse with gorgeous surroundings and stunning woodwork/decor. It really did feel like something from a fantasy book. Everything was absolutely immaculate! Two cots are under the bed which worked perfect for the kids. Definitely an experience and I highly recommend!

Weekend getaway
I decided to take my wife on a romantic getaway while the kids were gone and found this property. The property is very loved and maintained. The treehouse itself is very clean and beautifully decorated. We did briefly met the owner and he was very nice. We wanted to take the tour of the property but time got away from us. My wife and I loved it and will look into booking another stay in the other properties offered there.

A Day in Lost Pines of Shire
Place is awesome, peaceful, private and the tree house is quite magical. The only cons was the compost toilet, everyone was awkward to use it. Other than that, it was a great weekend get away.

Awesome Stay
We recently stayed here for my husband’s birthday and it was a nice getaway. The room was very clean and you can tell the owners take really good care of the property. Room was nice and cool upon arrival and had everything we needed. The kids enjoyed the outside play activities and s’mores around the fire pit.

Best little getaway
My boyfriend and I took this trip to get some nature time in away from the city. The experience was better than I could have imagined; there were so many little touches to the property and it was also minimal at the same time. I loved that there wasn’t a tv or wifi. Truly immersed in nature and we enjoyed the trails and sitting by the fire at night. 10/10 recommend.

Refreshing Respite at the Hobbit's Nest Treehouse
A magical place and lovely respite from the busyness of life in nearby Austin. We arrived in the afternoon and the room was nicely cooled by an in-room system. It operated quietly and allowed a comfortable nap. The outdoor deck was simply decorated with comfy sitting chairs and a small table. Great place to read and hang out amongst the trees and the birds. We'll definitely be back (but we didn't love the Keurig; no instructions and we'd never used one before....would much prefer a small "mr. coffee"!)

The hobbit house was perfect except for the toilet issue. The toilet next to our room was not working and we didn’t find out until we got there. They provided an rv toilet but it was downstairs. It was not convenient at night.
