The Perch 2 BEDROOM 1 BATH Award winning treehouse retreat in East Austin Light filled hideaway with treetop views, steps away from nightlife, dining and Lady Bird Lake
Welcome to The Perch- a one of a kind treehouse retreat in the heart of East Austin.
As you climb the stairs, you’ll feel an instant shift of energy- light, uplifting and just a little magical. Designed by local architect, Nicole Blair, The Perch has received multiple national and international design awards and has been featured in Dwell online and other top design magazines. It’s not just a place to stay-it’s a piece of Austins creative spirit.
Our treehouse is a quiet retreat from the hubbub of downtown, yet just blocks away from coffee shops, restaurants, bars, music venues and Lady Bird Lake’s hike and bike trail.
The space is filled with natural light and framed by treetop views from every window. Local art is displayed throughout, adding personality and a taste of Austin’s creative energy. Start your morning with tea on the oversized couch, gazing out at the magnolia tree out front. In the evening, dim the lights, queue up your favorite playlist, and wander from room to room, soaking in the glow of the treetops against the city backdrop.
Guests also have access to the downstairs courtyard, which is shared with our home business. While it’s shared, the space remains private and peaceful, offering another spot to relax outdoors.
Whether you’re here to dive into Austin’s vibrant music scene, enjoy a weekend getaway, or work remotely in a serene setting, The Perch is perfectly located for your experience. We can’t wait to share it with you.
