Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, a unique hanging daybed on the upper porch, and a fenced backyard. Experience the best of McKinney from this bright, inviting, and perfectly located home.



The Space:

This is the perfect place for anyone allergic to bland interiors — not your great-grandma’s getaway (though she might approve).

Stocked with all the fixings — you’ll be glad you skipped the hotel. The dining room pairs a large dimmable chandelier, setting the mood with seating for 8 for linger-worthy meals.



Living Areas

Relax on the cloud-like sofa in the living room while you choose between watching the game on TV or just the ambience — funky art and gas fireplace complete the vibe.

This house is the perfect location to walk to the square! It’s on a very nice, quiet street. It’s decorated so cute & Aaron was an excellent host. The few questions we had were answered so quickly and he was so accommodating. We loved the rocking chairs on the front porch too. Overall, great experience!
