An incredibly charming relic!

The Villa was the perfect home base for my trip to the area for my alma mater Austin College’s homecoming weekend. It’s a mid-century time capsule. Every little detail in this place was so cool - I especially loved the Philco stereo, the old car magazines from the era, and the history of the trailer model and its construction. The hosts were wonderful, and I definitely know I’ll be back next time I’m here.

Quiet and private

I could not have found a better place to stay during the Covid epidemic. It's kind of scary traveling these days but going to Tin Can Acres was a great decision. Steve was very proactive and reactive to all questions. I would certainly stay again, and recommend their lovely spot to anyone.

Blast from the past

Tin Can Acres is like stepping back in time to 1959. Fun and quiet place, perfect for our weekend of fishing at Texhoma.

Provided a perfect retreat!

Private and quiet, very well-kept. They provided everything we needed. They found the perfect balance between making sure we had all the information we needed and giving us space and privacy. Sitting and listening to the rain on the roof was a wonderful and peaceful way to spend a weekend! Thank you so much!!!

Amazing Experience!!

Amazing experience. We had the most wonderful time at Tin Can Acres! It honestly felt like being at home. Everything was clean and well stocked with bedding, towels, paper products and even had snacks, water and half n half if you decided to make coffee. The full sized bathroom was wonderful. And everything worked perfectly including the hot water. There are dishes, cups and utensils in the kitchen in the event you want to cook, or just want your take out to have a more home made feel. The trailer is only 10 mins from a Starbucks, Culver’s and gas station. And about 15 from McDonald’s, Jalepeño Tree, Braum’s and other assorted restaurants and fast food places. So convenient. You won’t regret booking this get away. We will definitely return to Tin Can Acres in the future!

It’s like you are stepping into an old movie scene.

Oh my gosh!!! This was the best place we have ever stayed at. We had so much fun opening the cabinets and seeing all the vintage treasures. Very clean and cool even in the middle of summer. The turntable was such a fun extra for us! We listened to hours of Patsy Cline and drank coffee like we were movie stars. So much fun!!! We will definitely be back!!!!

This is a gem! What an experience! Like staying in a 1959 museum! We had a blast from the past here

This is a great honey of a place to stay. Great Host! Great Charm! I would go back tomorrow! This was the perfect retreat for a creative writing getaway. Not far from town if you need to grab dinner out, but definitely perculate some coffee in this completely furnished 1959 kitchen. Such a TREAT!

The retro trailer was cool

We enjoyed our short stay at Tin Can Acres. Next time we will request our favorite records to listen to on the vintage stereo. Wish the front door would have locked. Otherwise it was great and we enjoyed the quiet.

So glad you enjoyed your stay at Tin Can Acres! We'll have those records for you when you return! I was sorry to hear about the problem with the lock on the front door -- we had no idea there was an issue. Upon booking we always provide our guests with our phone numbers and encourage them to call or text 24/7 if they have any questions -- and we really mean it. Sometimes the nicest people hesitate to inconvenience us, but I can assure you that we really want to know about any issues right away and make them right. As it turns out, the repair on the door was a quick fix (under five minutes), so it will be operating properly when you return. Thanks again for staying with us -- we're always glad to provide a quiet retreat.

Wonderfully unique home! We highly recommend this amazing experience!

My husband and I spent Labor Day weekend as this wonderfully unique home and had an amazing visit! From the moment we arrived on the property we felt welcomed and comfortable. The home is exactly as described and shown in the pictures. It was well cared for and very clean. We felt as if we had stepped back in time as we read Time magazines from the 60's and listened to Sinatra on the phonograph. The home features many, many items of this time period: the blow dryer, the percolator (for making coffee), and even a pink toilet! Steve and Carrie were fantastic hosts and provided us with a few snacks in addition to sharing their extensive record collection. They are very friendly hosts but also allowed just the two of us to spend the weekend together. I feel that some may be leary of renting this home because it is a trailer. Let me reassure you that this home is roomy, clean, and well maintained. There were no issues with hot water, cold air conditioning, or electricity. The bed, couch, and other furniture were comfortable. The only aspect of the stay that reminded us that we were sleeping in a trailer was the peaceful, muted sound of crickets and owls outside our windows. Denison offered plenty of activities to keep us busy for three days: the local high school football game, the Saturday morning Farmers Market, local shops/boutiques, dinner and gambling at Choctaw Casino (about a 25 minute drive), jet skiing at Lake Texoma (about a 20 minute drive), eating at local restaurants, and attending a Beatles tribute band show at the local theatre. The locals were friendly and helpful. The country roads were well maintained and offered lots of beautiful scenery. This home also provided relaxing options like playing board games, watching movies, or dancing outside by the light of the fireflies. We highly recommend that you consider this home and this special opportunity to experience the 50's/60's time period as well as visit the Denison area.

Surprise retreat nestled in the trees

Tin Can Acres is a gem. A perfectly curated homage to the 50's and 60's. Shades of my childhood. The nice thing is, you get to use everything if you wish, even the LP record player. Surprisingly spacious yet cozy and very comfortable. We loved it and will make "The Villa" at Tin Can Acres our go to spot when we are in the area again!

Charming and cozy!

The home is charmingly decorated true to the1950-1960 period. It is very cozy in an area that is convenient to get to and yet you still feel you are out in the country in a more remote location. It is beautifully situated in trees. I thought that it was very cozy and comfortable. I stayed for an extended time and the owners were always very gracious, kind and friendly. I would definitely recommend this one!

Wow -- don't know what to say to this 3-star review. We've never received anything less that 5-star reviews. We never received a word from this guest about any problems, concerns, or issues. So I have no idea why it was rated this way.
