We wanted a home where we could spend time with my 99-year-old mother-in-law, who recently moved from her home into a senior apartment facility. This home was perfect! Two bedrooms, two baths, cozy, and within walking distance of a sweet town. Ali, our host, was lovely and responsive. We’re planning to make her home our new home base for all our Dallas visits!

Sweet cottage near historic downtown

I had a very peaceful & enjoyable stay at the Crape Myrtle cottage. The coffee & tea bar were convenient as well as the little snack basket provided. The house was very cute & clean with well-appointed & comfortable decor and furnishings. The cottage is close to downtown which is full of charming shops & restaurants. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay & hope to visit again next time I’m in town!

Fun decor, comfortable and great location.

The hospitality basket was nice and the choice of coffee was excellent. We were celebrating a late Christmas with our daughters who live in Vienna, Austria and Doral FL. Our Fl gauhhter was staying with in laws in McKinney and the older daughter came from Houston and stayed with us in the cottage.

House was very clean. Bed were comfortable and on the firm side - so if you like soft beds...not your place. Plenty of towels in the bathrooms. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking items, except it was missing a few key items, but the owners said they would get those into the kitchen soon. Neighborhood was quiet.

Historical cottage

I must say pictures didn't do its justice. I was very surprised how nice the place is when I walked in. Also, the smell of freshness! The host, Ali was very helpful. Any questions I had she was there to answer within minutes! She made our stay very pleasant. I would rebook this place again.

McKinney Historic District is Fantastic! Cottage is quaint and clean!

We were celebrating a friends B-day! The cottage was adorable! Super close to the Historic District of McKinney! The cottage is quaint and super clean! There were 4 women. I slept on a blow up mattress because there is one queen bed and one full. Our only suggestion would be to take out full bed and put a Queen or King in that room!
