Enjoyed It

The location is perfect. The home is an older home, but pretty well updated given the space considerations. We very much appreciated the well-stocked coffee supply. If possible to install, a ceiling fan in the master bedroom would be a nice addition.

Downtown McKinney

We stayed at this property for our wedding reception in downtown McKinney. The house was perfect. Updated kitchen, updated bathrooms. The location was fantastic. Maybe a 4 minute walk into downtown, almost the same distance as parking in the parking garage. Highly recommended

Perfect place & perfect spot

Tammy was a joy to work with, welcoming, helpful and a great communicator. The house is DARLING! The pictures are accurate. It’s so cute when you walk in. The bathrooms are especially nice- new updated. The kitchen too. What we didn’t know this when booked but it’s walking distance to downtown McKinney- the shops & restaurants and there is a great park close by too! Perfect place & perfect location!

Blue Horizon

My husband and I stayed at Blue Horizon while visiting visiting our son who lives in Whiteboro. We knew we wanted to check out the sites in Dallas and Fort Worth so the location of Blue Horizon worked well for us. The charming McKinney downtown area was a nice surprise! Our host, Tammy was very accommodating and always got back to us with any questions we had. I am a bit of a clean freak and the inside of the house was very clean.The backyard was well maintained but not inviting. All in all Blue Horzon fit the bill for us.

Overall great experience.

We had issues with the hot water, the owner was on site within 10 minutes to show us how to fix it. We couldn’t use both showers at the same time or the breaker would flip, but we at least appreciate the transparent communication the owners had with us and how quickly they responded when we brought the issue to their attention!
