About this property

Little house on the Christmas tree

Lone Star is a rustic tiny house sitting on the banks of a pond at Holiday Acres Christmas Tree Farm. It's great for a romantic getaway, a writing retreat, or for a unique place to stay when visiting or working in the Manvel area. Tiny house enthusiasts will enjoy trying out tiny living at Lone Star!

Holiday Acres is only 25 miles south of downtown Houston. While you're here, you can take walks through the Christmas trees, build a fire in the fire pit, throw a line in the pond to catch some fish, or just chill on the porch and enjoy the scenery.

The kitchen is set up with a toaster oven, hot plate, microwave, and fridge. There are pots, pans, dishes, and everything you'll need to prepare meals for 2. The bed slides out of sight under the kitchen, with the foot of the bed doubling as your sofa. No need to climb up into a loft.

Dogs are welcome at Holiday Acres! They'll need to be on a leash outdoors and crated if you need to leave them inside when you go out. Sorry, no cats or other pets.

Along with a DVR, antenna smart TV with local stations is provided. Wi-Fi is provided and you can login to your streaming streaming services on the TV.

Next door to Lone Star is Bluebonnet, a cottage-style tiny house which sleeps 4. Both houses may be rented if you are traveling with a larger group.

The hosts live on the property about 100 yards from the tiny houses. They will greet you and get you settled in, then will leave you to enjoy your vacation. They are happy to help if you have any needs during your stay.

About the host

Hosted by Leigh Ann Smith

Host profile image
Hi, we're Rocky and Leigh Ann! We operate Holiday Acres, a choose & cut Christmas tree farm. Rocky's day job is as an engineer at NASA, and Leigh Ann is the farm's office manager. We love nothing more than sharing our piece of God's creation with others. When we're not running the farm or welcoming guests to our 2 tiny houses, we enjoy visits with our grandchildren and participating in the life of our church.

Why they chose this property

Though raised in the city, we always wanted to live in the country. In 1999, when we first visited this property, there was a peace about it that you could just feel when you walked in the gate. Originally a dairy farm, there is a grain silo built in 1905 and an old metal barn. We loved it. So, we built our house here and raised our children and our trees.

We decided to grow Christmas trees because it would be easy. Ha! Live and learn. Twice a year, Rocky has to shear about 8,000 trees. Planting, mowing, weed control, and all the rest keeps Rocky very busy most of the time. Then comes Christmas season, and things really start hopping around here! The Christmas tree farm is choose & cut, so we are able to welcome many families as they come to cut their own tree and make a sweet family memory.

When we started out growing Christmas trees, we never imagined doing anything more than that with our property, but over time we began making the farm available as a photo venue, then we added the 2 tiny houses as vacation rentals, and now we are adding to and upgrading our facilities to be able to operate as an event venue.

Come stay with us and you'll see why we love it so much!
