About this property

The Farmhouse Family Getaway with Indoor/Outdoor Games, BBQ, Fire Pit, & MORE!

Welcome to The Farmhouse! Located in the North East Texas piney woods, we are just 7 minutes from the Greg County Airport, 20 minutes south of Longview and 40 minutes east of Tyler. If you are looking for a place to relax, unwind, and play games with friends and family, this just might be that getaway you are looking for. So please... come, and enjoy The Farmhouse :).

Designed for FAMILIES!

Having four kids of our own and being part of a large extended family, The Farmhouse was designed for families looking to get away and enjoy some time together. Whether you have older or younger children, the games (indoor and outdoor), 55” smart TV, hammocks, and bean bags are just a few things that are sure not to disappoint. But, you do not need kids to enjoy this space. Have a cup of coffee or tea while sitting out on the patio, enjoy an evening out by the fire pit, or grill and eat outside under the covered picnic area. All are welcome to come, relax, and enjoy The Farmhouse!

Do You Like GAMES?

If you are a game enthusiast, this place is for you! Filled with board games, card games and outdoor games for all ages, come and play and let your worries take a break or disappear altogether. From an oversized Connect Four for the littles, to a strategic game of Catan for the bigs, to a relaxing game of Corn Hole for two, to a family game of Wiffleball for all. Yes, you read it correctly, there is a full size WIFFLEBALL FIELD, so come and play! Wiffleball bats and balls are provided as well. And if you hit a home run, there may be a spot for you to become a little famous… well, here at The Farmhouse anyway ;).

Want to Support LOCAL?

Something we enjoy doing and have been able to do with The Farmhouse is support local craftsmen. As you enter The Farmhouse, several pieces throughout the space have been designed by some amazing individuals giving it that rustic farmhouse feel we were hoping for. And we also wanted to show off their skills to our guests! We currently feature 5 local craftsmen at The Farmhouse and have them listed in our welcome book. So if you like one of their pieces, let us know, we can hook you up!

Other Items to note:

★ HOUSE HAS CHARACTER ★
This is a 50+ year old farmhouse that has been renovated inside and out. However, it still has held onto its character along with some of the charms of its age (squeaky floors and small cracks due to foundation shifting over time).

★ FILTERED WATER PROVIDED ★
The water on the property is fine to drink but has a strong iron content. Filtered water (cold and instant hot) has been provided for your convenience.

★ MORE PROPERTY COMING ★
Your property access is 1.5 acres of the almost 11-acre estate and the barn on the property is not accessible to guests. This will change in the future as we continue to renovate (Game Barn and Glamping sites coming!).

★ EAST TEXAS FRIENDS ★
Although we spray the house inside and outside regularly, keep it cleaned, prepped, and maintained after each guest, please remember that this is a 50+ year old farmhouse out in the East Texas piney woods country. You may come across some of our East Texas friends (crickets, fire ants, etc.).

★ COVID-19 SANITIZATION ★
Heath, safety, and well-being of our guests are of utmost importance. For this reason, we use a thorough and extensive cleaning process after each check-out.

★ NO PETS ALLOWED ★
We love those little (and not so little) furry bundles of joy. Sadly, our home is not suitable to accommodate them. If you sneak in a pet, you will be charged an additional $300 and asked to leave.

★ NO SMOKING INSIDE ★
Please refrain from smoking inside the home! Any smoking evidence will result in a fee for Oder Removal, Duct Cleaning, and Furniture Cleaning.

★ NO PARTIES/EVENTS ★
We kindly ask you to treat our home as your own to preserve its pristine condition for future guests and your return visits.

Thank you very much for your understanding.


Let us know if you have any questions; we're locals; we have the answers. Happy Travels!

Nice place to get away

4 old college buddies met for a long weekend LeTourneau mini reunion. Wanted a place to go back to in the evening that was quiet in the country. The house fit the bill perfectly. We enjoyed some time outside as well, playing ladder ball, throwing the frisbee in the large yard, etc. And it was comfortable for four. Two had their own rooms, and two used the upper versus lower levels on the bunkbed, which was very solid and sturdy and comfortable, even for average sized adults. Well stocked. We would definitely stay there again.

Everything we hoped for!

Idealistic for families! Plenty of activities at the home without having to travel. The wiggle ball field was a highlight for my older kids. The home itself was welcoming and was a small retreat with games to play when it rained. Thanks for letting us stay, we had a great time!

Farmhouse stay

All was as advertised. We all had a very pleasant stay and the farmhouse met all our needs. Saturday evening our entire family gathered there for dinner and a visit whuch was 6 adults and 6 grandkids ranging in age 2 to 16. Our host was very helpful an covered all the details before and after our arrival. Since we visit the area a couple of times a year I'm sure we will be back again.

Great country property, plenty to do, not too far from town.

We highly recommend staying at the Farmhouse! It has a country feel but is just a few minutes from Kilgore and Longview. The house has plenty of gathering spaces for family. Outside there are many things to do such as a ball field, swing set, hammocks, several yard games, and a nice fire pit area. The host is very nice and responds quickly. We have stayed twice and would happily choose to stay here again!

Quiet, cozy, and comfortable!

My husband, pre-teen daughter, and I stayed two nights at the Farmhouse Family Getaway. From the moment I booked, Brandon was very attentive and informative. It was easy to see they are great hosts, who want the best experience possible for their guests. The home was beautifully decorated, very clean, provided lots of blankets, towels, etc. Coffee bar was a plus! My only recommendation is perhaps providing some sugar, as we had to go out and get some. The house also provided LOTS of family games, which was super fun. Overall, we felt very much at home here and would definitely stay again!

Great Family Home

From the beginning to end Brandon was very detailed in the communications and very helpful! We came to visit family in the area and this home was my first choice for us since we had 3 kids and an infant. The space was great, spacious, and clean! The kids enjoyed the games and fire pit where we made smores. My husband even mentioned how much he lived the home and property. Said he would rent a hone like this when we eventually move back to east texas. Everything was clean and in great order when we arrived and we were even able to check in a bit sooner than we expected. Brandon wss very accommodating the entire time. The whole process was easy and we would definitely stay here again on our next visit!

Cozy & Fun Family Weekend

We booked the farmhouse to stay during my son’s baseball tournament, and decided to come for the weekend even after the tournament was cancelled before we left home. We are so glad we came! Brandon was able to accommodate our special requests and was so communicative throughout our stay. The wiffle ball field was the ultimate highlight of our trip and our kids loved signing the home run wall. The house is a perfect place for families, stocked with games and enough open space to run and play. The kitchen was fully stocked and allowed us to have four of our five meals at the farmhouse, one of which we grilled out. The fire pit was a perfect place to end each night and enjoy s’mores! Our kids loved the bunk beds and all the beds were very comfortable. The house was decorated with attention to detail and Brandon’s welcome guide was so informative. We can’t wait to come back!

AN ABSOLUTE MUST STAY EXPERIENCE!

We came in to visit family in Longview and the Farmhouse was the pertect commute and was an absoulte blast for our family with 3 children. Smores were provided by the host which was an absolute BONUS! The kids really enjoyed this! Our family from Longiew stopped in to visit and for dinner but due to the rain we weren't able to play baseball but really enjoyed and recommend playing "Ticket to ride" the game board. We played about five games in a row. Somehow we got locked out, not sure it one of the kiddo's locked it but Brandon was quick to his phone and stopped by to let us back in which was a blessing! Seriously can't say thank you enough for such wondertul stay and having our family all under one roof. Definitely a five star experience. There were also QR Codes around the home on how to work everything which was amazing!

About the host

Hosted by Brandon Holman

Host profile image
Hello! My name is Brandon and I am from the northwest (Montana and Washington). My wife, kiddos, and I just moved back to North East Texas (where my wife is from) to be closer to family. We love to travel with our kiddos to different areas and try out Airbnb/VRBOs. The problem is, it is difficult to find rentals that are geared toward families. That is why we started The Farmhouse! We set it up not only for our extended family, but for other families as well! Although this space can be utilized by anyone, it was designed with families in mind. So, come and enjoy everything The Farmhouse has to offer!

Why they chose this property

This is a great, peaceful neighborhood where we all look out for each other. I love that we all feel like we have our own space with all the different size properties, but also feel like it is a tight nit neighborhood where most of us know each other by our first name.

What makes this property unique

This was an old farmhouse built in the late 70s. It was owned by one family who was my in-law's neighbors for years. It is almost 11 acres with about 7ish being wooded with a creek and a pond. Currently, guest have access to about 1.5 acres that has many outdoor games (including a full size Wiffle Ball Field!), a fire pit that will seat 8+, a 4-burner gas grill, and a cozy 3 bedroom/2 bathroom farmhouse (with tons of games inside!). There are so many things to do at the farmhouse (including just staying in for a good movie), that hopefully no one will ever be board or want to leave!

Future goals are to convert the barn to a game space/more guest space and have glamping sites around the property to host more guests! So continue to check back as we continue to improve the space where we can host a variety of guest sizes!
