About this property

5 min. stroll to Downtown Mckinney! Family & Pet Friendly Cottage

Relax with your family and friends at this inviting modern oasis. Recently updated (EVERYTHING is brand new; floors to showers, countertops, indoor/outdoor furniture and appliances!)

**Location?**
This cottage is a short 5 minute walk from Historic Downtown McKinney which features restaurants, pubs, bars, shops, wineries, and so much more.. It is also conveniently located close to hwy 75 for easy access to explore more of the Dallas area.
Our cottage is a 3 bedroom, 2 full bathrooms (towels provided). The bedrooms consists of 1 king bed, 1 queen bed, and 1 sleeper sofa. We also have another sleeper sofa located in the living room. Each bedroom and living room have smart TVs/Roku devices and also a dedicated workspace is located in 3rd bedroom.

We know what its like traveling with kids (we have 4!) so we have also provided a pack n play and umbrella stroller located in the king bedroom closet. A high chair has also been provided in the kitchen along with kids dinnerware. Fun family board games and children's books are located in the tv console for additional entertainment!

As for pets, we've provided a large dog kennel that can comfortably contain your pets indoors, as needed. (holds dogs approx. 30 in long, 23 in tall, ~70 lbs). The kennel is located in the storage shed on the side of the cottage.

Our kitchen is fully equipped and includes both coffee and tea options.

The back patio/deck is perfectly secluded and surrounded by bamboo to give you the privacy. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the new fire pit table that seats 4 comfortably or lounge on the sectional sofa. We also have a grill out on the patio/deck (extra propane tank in the storage shed, if needed).

You can almost always find live music in downtown Mckinney any day of the week. Some of our favorite spots to eat and have drinks are:
-Ricks Steakhouse
-Cadillac Pizza
-The Celt
-Spoons
-The Yard
-Sugar Bacon
-Mellow Mushroom
-Koji Sushi
-Landon Winery
-Baron's Creek Winery

Real fun place for the kiddos is Arcade 92 (great mix of old school games such as pin-ball machines, to new X-box PlayStations, arcade games... vintage meets modern!)

Tupps Brewery is also a must stop by and see..

*For kids & pets* Finch Park is located just west of the cottage, another 5 min. walk. Finch Park was completely renovated in Oct. 2022 and now features a gigantic playground (with attached SPLASH-PAD for those Texas summer days), pavilion rentals, sand volleyball courts, basketball courts, pickleball courts, looped walking trail, restroom facility, and charcoal grills.

Little further from Dallas then I was hoping to be but that was on me as I should have checked location a bit better before booking. Only suggestion I would bring up would be another couch in the living room area as there was a group of us staying and no place to really sit and visit. Quiet neighborhood. Shopping and grocery close by.

A comfortable space for a relaxing weekend

This was a perfect spot for our small gathering of friends! We enjoyed the quiet neighbourhood, the front porch, and the short walk to downtown McKinney for food and shops. The large front living room worked great as a space for us to all spend time together. The kitchen also worked great for meals we made ourself. This property will be at the top of our list for our next weekend get-together!

Great location and host.

Location was excellent, as walking distance/close to Historic McKinney downtown. The home was well stocked in kitchen as well bathrooms/linens. Beds were comfortable, but carpet and walls were in a bit need of repainting/cleaning. Thomas was readily available for any assistance/questions and was a great host.

November Wedding Week

The host were very pro-active to ensure our stay was comfortable and communicating with them was easy and they responded quickly. Location of house was very convenient and making it very accessible to attending the wedding we went to. Spoons/The Garage Restaurant was very good for breakfast and dinner. Rick's Chophouse and Hutchins BBQ were great for dinner.
