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!

Thank you for staying with us during your special weekend! We hope that you all return to visit us again and next time maybe stay in our other cottage (Mod Piggy) next door. We hope you had a safe trip home.
Historic McKinney is so cute and nice with shops and restaurants and bars and just a clean overall small town feel even though big city next door. Family friendly for sure. Great for couple or girls getaway!

Thank you for the very positive review of both our cottage and the entire downtown! Great pictures and we hope to have you back soon.
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.

Great place in a quiet neighborhood, but close to downtown and great restaurants & shopping. The cottage had everything we needed. Very clean,Comfortable beds. Host was very responsive to any questions. Would stay here again.
We hosted a family thanksgiving dinner in this absolutely adorable cottage. The week long stay was very comfortable and right priced. I will stay here again . The proximity to all the happenings on the town square is really nice as well.

Thank you for the wonderful review and letting us host you and your family. We hope to see you very soon again
The home was so lovely and sweet. We could tell the owners had paid special attention to the comfort of the bedding in particular. It was clean, prettily decorated, and the owners were amazing communicators.

Thank you! We appreciate all feedback and hope that you will come and visit Downtown Historic District again.
The house is adorable, beautifully furnished and spotless. We had everything we needed for our trip to McKinney. It’s a very short walk to town, which we did at least a couple of times a day. We would definitely stay here again!!

Thank you very much for the review. We look forward to hosting you 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

Super charming property... Better than the pictures! Easy walking distance to downtown historic McKinney's restaurants and shops. Comfortable lush beds and a well-equipped kitchen. I had the chance to meet Kevin the owner and he was super friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again if returning to McKinney!

Thank you, sir! If you come back this way again, then please stay in the other house to experience a different vibe.
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!

Thank you! If you come back in to these parts of north Texas, then please look us up and try the other house next door (it has a different vibe).
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.

Thank you for the kind review. We look forward to your future stay with us!
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!

Thank you for the very kind words! We have each been in the public service industry our whole careers, so it rubs off into our cottages as well.
We hope to see you soon again and next time hopefully you can stay in the other cottage.
Kevin and Melissa
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.

Thank you very much for picking our cottage to stay in. We try very hard to think of what our guest's needs may be and have it ready for them.
Please come back and try the Mod Piggy next door. Same sleeping arrangements, but with a different vibe!
