We loved our stay in this beautiful home! We spent most of our time by the fire pit or on the amazing porch. My granddaughter (and the whole family) also loved being able to walk to the playground. With young children, we also appreciated the fully stocked kitchen, making meals at home easy!

We loved the property. The decorations and kitchen appointments were some of the nicest we've seen in any rental—plus, the place was absolutely spotless! The backyard is like having your own private park, and our dogs were in heaven.
Park-like back yard.

This was a fantastic pet-friendly home. The back yard was expansive and beautiful, with plenty of outdoor seating on the porch to watch tv as well as around the fire pit. The home also has comfortable furniture inside with abundant seating on the couches and in dining areas. The kitchen was well stocked with more appliances than we have at home. We visited in December and the home was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The location is close the highway and easy to find. Heather is a friendly host! We would definitely stay again!

Excellent host communication. Property is very private and peaceful. If you like easy quiet mornings this is your place, beautiful mature trees and large lot. Upstairs has 3 bedrooms and an entertainment space that makes it too easy to stay up late watching movies lol. Downstairs master is secluded and private. Large master bath made getting ready a breeze. Fully functional kitchen made us feel right at home. Laundry machines were new and convenient. Backyard was beautiful with tons of great features, fire pit, grill, hot tub, patio furniture with tv. We will be in the area in the future and will definitely stay at this property again. Thank you Heather for offering such a nice home for us to enjoy.

Came to Melissa for a grandson's birthday.

This home is absolutely perfect! The host are very attention detailed and you feel right at home. Heather communicated through out the booking and checked in while we were there to make sure we didn't need anything. I highly recommend this property in Melissa, TX. The location is in a nice subdivision and it is so peaceful. I will definitely stay here again when a group of us are in town to visit my son and family that live nearby.

Melissa Reunion

This beautiful home Is exquisitely decorated and comfortable at the same time. Everything about its design is well thought out to provide comfortable and convenient places for gathering as well as places for quiet and privacy. The back deck and yard are wonderful retreats. Heather was always readily available and did everything she could to make sure our time there was just what we wanted. Highly recommend.

Family Fun

We all had a great time staying in Melissa. McKinney is just a short drive away if you are wanting an outing for shopping or dinner. Home is lovely and well furnished and supplied. This is a very well taken care of property. Backyard is huge and beautiful. We enjoyed grilling out and sitting on the massive back porch and just enjoying the view. I told our host it feels like Glamping in the backyard with all the comforts and conveniences of home.

It was a great pleasure to host your family! We are so pleased that the location worked for your group. Downtown McKinney is so close, I am glad you got to experience the shopping and dining. The trees in the backyard with the fire pit and outdoor games definitely make you think you are out camping, yet the kitchen conveniences are just feet away. We are excited that you were able to relax and enjoy your vacation in your home away from home. We hope you come back and see us! Heather and Darrell

This house is so beautiful! We loved everything about our stay. The owners/host were so helpful and friendly. They checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The kitchen had everything we needed including good pots and pans. The beds were comfortable. The couches were comfortable. The paper products were very nice.
