So my bf and I made reservations for Lofthaven for this month (feb) They are not doing tours or anything around this time which is fine but I would've thought they would have like some kind of tv or radio since it is cold at night to even be outside . Their was nothing!!! Lol... no cards.. no nothing . No alcohol allowed so we couldn't even have some kind of wine for the both of us .. they did have a bottle of juice for us! LOL!!!!.how romantic is that!? ... I tried to move the date and the lady pretty much stated either chk in on the day of reservation or u lose $400. Yes they do have a strict policy but this "manager" was not even trying to work with me in any kind of way . This is $400 we are spending for one night . We did not want to cancel we were wanting to experience this "romantic Lofthaven tree house" ...So we chk in the day of our reservation and this place , i personally think is not worth $400 a night . The room was very nice ... The restroom was super small . For it to be a romantic stay we could not shower together . Shower was super small we could not even shower comfortably alone!! Their was no room at all to move around LOL . To top that off in order for us to feel the hot water the shower had to be on super high so we had to turn it off when we would wash our body we did not have any kind of room to back away from it ... :/ their was no tub . Sink was caddy corner I had no space to put my personal things , toilet was dirty , they did not clean it at all! , it was very noticeable when we lift the lid .. The towels smelled like a dirty rag !!! The bed had a dent in the middle of it. The waterfall had allot of green algae on it . The lights and ceiling fans were dirty and had alot of cobwebs . This stay was not worth $400 we were not too happy and we will not be going back to this place .. It's probably better to get these rooms during spring and summer only because u get to do the zip lining and whatever else they do .. I was not happy at all with this stay . It is by far the worst romantic stay ever!!! I felt like I lost $400 even tho we ended up checking in on day of reservation... read more

My boyfriend and I did a Canopy Tour this morning, and had such a blast! The grounds are absolutely beautiful, our guides were knowledgeable, and the actual tour was a BLAST! We are definitely planning on coming back soon! read more

My dad wanted to go zip lining so I found us a Groupon. My mom napped in their hammocks by the pool while we enjoyed our tour. The guides are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We felt safe, had a blast, and learned a lot! read more

Great experience today! Ethan and Josh were knowledgeable, friendly, and very safety conscious. It was worth every penny! A couple of hours raced by with lots of laughter, fun, and zipping through the trees. read more

This experience was fantastic! The staff is personable, knowledgeable, and security conscious. We loved the personal touches shared by Jake and Megan. In addition to the beautiful scenery on the zip tour, we cooled down in the beautiful pool by the lake and had a blast jumping in the lake off the rope swing Definitely recommend it! read more

This was so much fun, I am definitely going back with my husband. I am afraid of heights, but this definitely didn't discourage me to go. Great staff, grounds are beuatiful. read more

Came here to celebrate a special Occasion. The pool had slime. The Christmas lighting on the fence on the trail to the bathroom was not working at night like the girl said they would be....nor was the lighting on the trail to the juniper tree house. This made it extremely difficult to walk around at night. We didn't get the bigger tree house which is the loft haven because we were told the ac only works at night in that one so we got stuck with the Juniper which had ac day time and night time. The landscaping was not nice at all at check in. I was actually in shock at that. The pond looked dirty at the check in by the basketball court. They should charge more and get this place looking nicer. It needs a lot of improvement. The tree houses are perfect! read more

OMG!!!!!! Wow! I was fortunate to visit Cypress Valley a little over a week ago and let me tell you.... Hotness!!! And I'm not talking about the weather.... Andrea, I know what you're talking about. Bill is SO DREAMY!!! I can't even remember who the other guide was cuz I couldn't take my eyes off Bill. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have made it through the tour. I'm not a big fan of heights, but let me tell you I am so glad Bill was able to convince me to trust him. I had such a great time zipping from treetop to treetop. I'd have to say that the best part of the tour was when Bill would help me onto each platform before I would take off. He's really strong. Ladies, and Guys... ;) , I definitely recommend Cypress Valley Canopy Tours. ESPECIALLY if Bill is your guide! read more

My 13 year old daughter has generalized anxiety disorder. She works very hard to control her anxiety and to battle her fears. When she said that she wanted to go ziplining I was apprehensive, but I wanted to give her to opportunity to try. So we went for her birthday. Our tour guides were so patient with her and were so understanding, they were able to ease her fears. Thanks to them, we had a successful and fun tour! One fear conquered! One AWESOME memory! read more

We had a great day zipping thru the trees! The guides were great fun and it was a pretty place! Too cold for swimming because we were there in March. read more

The guides were incredibly fun, upbeat and knowledgeable. The location gets more than enough shade from the trees so you don't feel the Texas heat. My wife and I had so much fun as part of our 10 year wedding anniversary celebration. They ensure the safety of each guest and have great equipment. The time really flies by quickly as you zip through the canopies. Can't wait to do this again with our boys when they get a little older. They have a different section where you can zipline into a pond as much as you want. We didn't try the hiking trail. Great family fun. read more

After reviewing Cypress Valley on Yelp and also advising the company of my problems with the acommodations, I received an email addressing my issues and assuring me they had been resolved. If this indeed the case, I would recommend both Cypress Valley and a stay in the Lofthaven. read more

My wife and I celebrated our 15 yr anniversary with a 2 night stay in the Lofthaven II tree house and zip-line tour May 23-25. We knew it was going to be a big chunk of money, but what a unique opportunity to stay in a luxury tree house. The scenery was gorgeous, the sounds of wildlife relaxing and the seclusion was something we hadn't had in many years. However, the problems began at arrival when the adjoining bath house had no hot water and little to no cold water pressure which meant no showers for our 2 night stay. The owner said they had been working on the water heater the day before and I think they did their best to fix the water heater while we were zip-lining, but alas, we had to bathe in the hot tub. Given the price they charge per/night I would've thought they might comp our zipline tour or something for the inconvenience of 2 nights without a hot or cold shower. But they were very nice and asked us "what can we do to fix this?". I had hoped the owner might have a suggestion for this and figured it wouldn't be polite of me to make a one for him. Then, we had the torrential downpours and floods that put Texas on the national news. This certainly made for a wild night as the tree house swayed from the wind, vibrated from the raging water around the tree holding us and the tornado warnings kept going off on our phone. I never felt truly unsafe, but we also never heard from the owners checking to see how we were doing given this crazy act of God. If I were the owner I would've checked in on my guests at least once to make sure they were safe or warn them about the dangers of high water especially given the fact you'd need to drive through a low water crossing if we'd decide to leave their property. Maybe this was just a perfect storm of events? It truly was a great stay as long as I kept the thought of how much we spent out of my mind. I really didn't mind spending that much if everything worked as advertised. I also would not have minded the technical difficulties had the price been lower. But, we did have a wonderful stay and it made for a very memorable anniversary. read more

Well, we never made it to the zip line we'd planned to do because we were so freaked out by the spiders (daddy long legs, yes, I know that they are not really "spiders") that were infesting the tree in the middle of our Lofthaven room. I read a lot of the reviews from their site, all good of course. And I think this could have been a little better. Let's just say that a little pesticide could have gone a long way toward making this the fairytale night we'd envisioned. I suggest this to the owner, if you're listening. I get it, we've come to be one with nature, but for a mild arachnophobe like myself, the sight of those spiders really ruined the experience. Most of the reviews from stays during the winter time mention nothing about spiders, they all talk about owls and lizards and other wonderful nature sounds. During those months, leave the clear plastic cover over the tree. During the spring summer and fall months, when the spiders are there, cover the inside tree with canvas. What we don't know won't hurt us. we do know it's the tree running through the middle of the tree even if it's covered by canvas, instead of clear plastic, but we'd never see those daddy long legs. We definitely expected to see some bugs, being 40' up in a 100 year old cypress tree will do that, and that's fine. But to have 1000's of little bouncy daddy long legs crawl all around that tree truly ruined what could have been great. We'd bought the romance package, but there was no romance there that night. Dinner at the J5 was amazing, and the waitress made the night. We didn't make it to the wine tasting because we forgot they closed at 6pm on Fridays. ALL that being said, I think the price of $500 per night is a well above what the room is worth. I'd pay $200 a night for that, if they got quieter fans and a canvas cover for the tree. I get it, there are a lot of beautiful love stories written in the reviews and in the books in the Lofthaven, but it sure didn't seem that any of them were in the warmer months. There were also a lot of stories written about the spiders in the books too. Buyer beware! read more

Meh. If you have zip lined anywhere else - you might be disappointed. Its a very short course. Sadly fire has damaged much of the landscape and the drought has affected the river. The staff was fun. The pool could have used a good chemical shock. It was milky in color. read more

I went with my team from work on a zip line canopy tour a couple of weeks ago. We were about 10 minutes late showing up, but Cypress Valley was cool about it. They treated everyone on the team with a lot of respect and everyone had a great time. The tour guides interjected a lot of humor and were super great with everyone. They made sure everyone was having fun and one guy even memorized the names of all 17 people from our team. My only complaint is that an hour and a half seems to go by very quickly. Great service and fun times! read more

This place is the best! I have done zip lining at other places in Central Texas and in other countries and Cypress Valley rocks! We went with a family group of people who had various skill levels. The guides were awesome (Garrett and Haley)! They were patient with teaching the mechanics of zip lining, told funny stories, and shared really interesting ecological information about the area. I can't wait to go back! read more

Great fun, though not the adrenaline rush I was expecting/hoping for. Very safe, we had young male guides who were a little cheesy with their sense of humor, but were nice people who knew what they were doing. This is the kind of adventure that most everyone can do, even if they are a bit afraid of heights. I'm thinking of trying the canopy challenge in hopes that it is more thrilling. read more

This was our second trip out. The basic zip line tour is fun, but the challenge course was great! The obstacles are challenging, but not defeating. The setting is amazing. We felt like monkeys playing in the tree tops. And the staff seems to genuinely enjoy what they do. Our guides, Amy and Kate made us feel super safe, and even took photos for us. The only thing that I would love to see added are some partner challenges. read more

This place is wonderful. We came for the zip-line tour and stayed in Lofthaven. I'd never been zip-lining and was nervous, but I definitely felt safe the whole time. After the first zip when I realized how easy it is to stop at the end without running into a tree, the nerves went away. Beau and Jake were are guides, they were great and super safety conscious! All the employees were very nice. The grounds are beautiful. The Lofthaven tree house has everything -- great privacy (you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere), comfy bed, an A/C unit (though we didn't use it because we didn't want to have to seal up the windows), a hammock, a deck to enjoy morning coffee, and diaries with entries from previous guests, which were fun to read. There's a babbling creek that runs beneath it too. The experience of staying in Lofthaven is basically "glamping", so be prepared for daddy long-legs, sugar ants and crickets in the bath house (at least in July when we were there). The place is very eco-conscious so I'm guessing they don't use an exterminator, therefore it's a bit more like camping than it is like staying at the JW Marriot. We loved it. read more
