This was my second stay at Waddill Cottage. This was a girl’s trip and we enjoyed the awesome outdoor space. The house is so cozy, has a great kitchen and very comfortable beds. It is so close and handy to the downtown Square and all the great shopping there. I would recommend this house to a group of eight or less for a fun weekend trip or a longer family getaway!

House was beautiful and relaxing! Very quiet at night but only a one mile walk to the restaurants and shops of downtown McKinney. The signs of a great host are not just when things go right but also problem solving when things go wrong. The dryer was not functioning and was a very much needed amenity for our 11 day stay. When the problem with the dryer was texted to Alisa she responded promptly with things to try, came over within an hour, then offered to dry the wet items at her house and had repairs to the dryer completed by a repair person as rapidly as possible- a couple of days. I am highly appreciative of VRBO hosts who partner with guests to rapidly resolve any issues/problems! Alisa is awesome!

Lovely and charming historical house. The beds were comfy and the many bedrooms gave a place for the girls to retreat at the end of the night. Disappointed the weather turned rainy and cold because the outdoor space is splendid. Would love to come back and enjoy the home again. Hosts were also a 10 out of 10 in communication.

Birthday celebration

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Waddell Cottage!!! It had everything we needed for a girls weekend-so much character and charm! The pool was perfect for cooling down, and the outdoor area was fantastic! Being so close to downtown McKinney was a huge plus. We are planning on returning to Waddill Cottage in the future.
