The ladies of my family enjoyed a weekend together which included a High Tea Party. This place was perfect for the setting and spacious enough to accommodate all of us. The pictures of the space are very much the same in person. It was easy to communicate with the host and she was flexible on when I could check in. I would highly recommend for any small gathering!

Great place to stay! Very close to downtown old McKinney.
It's a lovely home, comfortable & the right size for my family. Loved the neighborhood & walking distance from the center of town. And the turkeys were a real added enjoyment. Thank you for the opportunity to stay there.
My wife and I came into town on a short business trip, and we absolutely loved staying at this property. It was a well remodeled house, very spacious interior and backyard (great for our two little dogs that we brought with us), and perfect walking distance from Downtown McKinney. We would definitely book here again next time we’re in town.
Lovely visit in a charming, home. Our Host put up a Xmas tree and decorations in and out of house!!!! Added to our amazing family vacation. Location was amazing walked into town in 8 min. Had a little glitch first night and Chris came first thing in the morning and took care of everything. So lovely !
