A Decent Experience with Room for Improvement
A nice, reasonably renovated house with plenty of room, perfect for a group of women celebrating a milestone birthday. However, upon arrival, it was clear that some finishing touches and a deep cleaning were needed. Grease splatters behind the stove on the wall, rings in the toilet, and dishes still in the dishwasher were missed opportunities for a warm welcome. While the location was conveniently close to downtown and other destination spots, the outside noise made for some sleepless nights. Despite being a dog lover, the constant barking at night in the neighborhood kept those staying in the front of the house with some restless and sleepless nights. Additionally, large diesel trucks from neighboring houses running late into the night also created some exhaustion. We didn't contact the owners during our stay regarding these details because we were already there so a deep cleaning couldn't be done and not sure what they would have done about the middle of the night noise.

Wedding weekend
Great older home in downtown McKinney that has been redone in a beautiful rustic style with all the modern amenities. Kitchen is amazing-I would love to have it in my own home! Wedding weekend with friends and family and the venues close by. Great downtown area close to everything you could need and then some.

Cute, Clean, and just what we needed
Stayed here during my wedding weekend with my bridal party. It was clean, and had cute cactus decor. It housed all 6 of us comfortably and made us feel right at home. It was close to downtown, where the rehearsal dinner was. It work out great for all of us.
