About the host
Hosted by Christina Shapter
We are a husband/wife team of fillmmakers who are lucky to live on such a cool Austin property!
Why they chose this property
Our nature cabin/treehouse is one-of-a-kind. You won't find anything else like it in all of the city! It's definitely a "Keep Austin Weird" experience that everyone should try at some point. Plus the outdoor areas are so unique: winding stone paths, palm trees, cactus, stone walls, fire pits, a 3-tiered waterfall and pond.
What makes this property unique
Even though we're located in the heart of downtown, you really wouldn't know it! We're far enough away from South Congress District to avoid the parking hassles, but still a short walk through the historic Travis Heights neighborhood to get there.
Travis Heights is so different than other Austin neighborhoods. It's quiet and safe. No two streets are alike (no cookie-cutter houses) and it's situated on rolling hills filled with ancient live oak trees had us sold the minute we arrived.
It's so close to downtown and within walking distance to South Congress shops and restaurants, yet it feels quiet and peaceful as if it's a small town neighborhood. Our street is great because it's surrounded by undeveloped woods and the rolling hills make are great for evening walks. For those that have dogs? Well, we're two blocks away from the best dog park in the city.
