Manvel, Texas
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.
Peaceful. You will not find a better more caring owner. Thank you
Scenic little cabin. Quiet and peaceful. No complaints
My only qualm would be that I had nightly 6-legged and 8-legged visitors before bed, I don’t know what hole needs to be plugged up by the futon window but I think that’s where they’re coming from! From ants to spiders to roaches it was tough trying to sleep peacefully without worrying about them crawling on me! An ant bit me the first night! The shower also has a sewage smell whenever it’s *not* being used, so maybe look into that as well! Overall this experience has been one for the books, I wouldn’t trade it for anything, and it helped me set out what I aimed to do! I can’t wait to have another trip like this again now that I know what to expect!
Property owner didn’t realize that I had booked the property so we had to wait about 30min to check in. So we browsed the property and took a look at the other tiny house, The Bluebonnet House. Leigh Ann (owner) was kind, gracious, and on-site without being intrusive. Rocky (Leigh Ann’s husband/owner) and the staff were fixing a gate one day and were also pleasant. Nice Christmas Tree Farm for family fun and events. Thanks Leigh Ann & Rocky!
Came from Houston to get out of the city for a bit.. It was perfect!! Fire pit was a pleasure, the house was cute and cozy. I'm glad I was able to stay here. The owners are great and Rocky was super helpful throughout our stay. Will def. visit again! ❤️
Very clean and quiet.
We had a nice time at the tiny home. Unfortunately, a massive winter storm led to our early departure. Perfect place for an individual or couple seeking peace & quiet.
Perfect getaway that includes your pets.
This place is ideal for the country experience and still close to city conveniences... the host (leigh Ann) is great to deal with.
This was great little getaway from Houston! The tiny house was perfect. It had everything we needed. We loved walking the property and siting by the pond. So relaxing! It was the perfect three day getaway!
My husband has been ill for 8 months. We have been in a hospital off and on for 5 of those 8 months. Usually I would sleep in his room. This hospital stay I desperately needed rest. I did not want to stay in a hotel. First, they are horribly expensive and usually not as clean as I would like. The Lone Star tiny house was amazing! Clean, comfortable, peaceful and safe. Leigh Ann and Rocky were wonderful! The pond and fountain was wonderful while sitting on front porch drinking my coffee. The little kitchen had everything I needed. The price was amazing. Can’t say enough about my stay! It was the best ever! (Very easy commute to and from medical center)
