This little house was thoughtfully decorated, stocked with snacks and water, and very easily walkable to downtown McKinney. We were able to meet and visit with the owner, Kevin, who gave us some fun facts and history about the house and area. He also gave us some great recommendations for restaurants.

The Sadie Mae Cottage exceeded our expectations! It was beautiful and cozy, which is not always an easy thing to accomplish. The location was perfect for walking into town for dinner and around the neighbor hood in the morning. We have elderly family that we will be visiting more often in the future and plan on returning to the cottage, it was so perfect!

My family stayed here for 3 nights over Labor Day weekend. My kids (16 and 13) loved having their own bedrooms. We loved everything about the stay! The hosts are the best I’ve dealt with on VRBO! Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Charming and comfortable cottage! Easy to see how much pride the owners have in their property. So many details, from decorations to a well appointed kitchen and luxurious bedding. It was the perfect space for wedding prep and time with our son and his fiancée on their wedding weekend. Excellent!

We had a wonderful stay and truly cannot recommend this place highly enough. The host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and thoughtful, and it was clear that every detail had been carefully considered. The home itself was charming, spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing visit. From start to finish, it was a fantastic experience, and we would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect little house for our trip to the downtown McKinney historic district. Fun area of town for browsing cute shops and eating delicious food. Kevin offered multiple ideas on where to eat and what to see! The house has been meticulously updated and redecorated…such attention to detail!! Loved our 3 nights here and even inquired about staying a couple of more nights. Unfortunately for us, the house was already booked for the next month! If you have the opportunity to rent this house, you won’t regret it

This amazing lil cottage is just a couple of blocks from downtown McKinney, a spot with amazing restaurants and cute lil shops. Had to do some work in Princeton for a few days and this house was the PERFECT spot to relax and take it easy after a long day. The hosts were super helpful providing us with local guides and even some samples of the town's offerings!

The host had great communication. The location was in walking distance of several restaurants and shops. And the house had plenty of the amenities so we didn’t have to go to the store and buy extra stuff. And the location seemed to be in a safe neighborhood.

We travel extensively, couldn’t come up with one thing the owners hadn’t already thought of. The yard was exquisitely manicured and the interior had been tastefully decorated. We had everything we needed from a kitchen utensil standpoint for breakfast. They had a couple bottles of water in the fridge along with a basket of snacks. It’s a very easy 4 block walk to downtown. Had a couple of chance encounters with the owners who could not have been nicer. They live in the vicinity so even though we didn’t need them, they are very accessible. Both baths had dark washcloths marked for makeup removal, who does that?Our last 2 VRBO owners (Fla beach & McKinney) have definitely raised the bar from an expectations standpoint going forward. Rent from these owners with full confidence your expectations will be met!

Location was great for our visit to this area. The host responded quickly to all communications. The pictures were true to the cleanliness of the VRBO. The house was beautifully decorated and very welcoming. There was nothing we needed that the host had not provided. Very thoughtful. We relaxed and enjoyed our stay. We will stay again if available when we return. Easy walk to restaurants and shops.
