The patio was not clean, We were not able to sit outside. Every towel on the bathroom counter had hair on them ( long strains of hair). Also hair around the faucet. I have never stayed anywhere where we had to take bed linens off the bed and take out trash.

Pros:Close to historic downtown McKinneyPlenty of room for 8 adultsPool table is funAir conditioner kept the house cool in 100 degree tempsCons:Hadn’t been thoroughly cleanedPillows were very yellowed and stained No towels or hot pads in the kitchenOwners messaged to say they were coming over on the first day to install blinds on the windows. I politely asked them not to since our belongings were they and they respected that. The house did not seem ready to have guests in it but we made do and had a great time with our family.

Great size and value near downtown McKinney

This is our favorite location in the McKinney area! Near parks and downtown but away from the major traffic. This was an older house, so it had a few quirks we dealt with, but the property’s manager was quick to take care of stuff and overall the 6-8 places we’ve stayed around this area visiting family, this is our favorite.

School shopping

Our original stay was for a baseball tournament that was canceled. After rescheduling the days we intended to stay, we had the perfect place. This home was the perfect location with nearby food and shopping. We enjoyed our quiet and peaceful retreat.

In town for tournament

We really enjoyed the property. Rooms were good size and a lot of space. Our teenage boys enjoyed playing pool for hours. Very nice neighborhood, loved the garage parking. The property manager was responsive and helped when needed. Great restaurants and a Walmart nearby.

Great place for large group

Needed a place to accommodate 10 guests. Place worked out great. Only heads up would be all bedrooms are upstairs and stairs are steep. Caution for the elderly or physically challenged. Otherwise, would highly recommend.

Stay in McKinney

We liked the house. The kitchen was a little cramped but we managed. The pool table was great for entertainment and the TV room was excellent as was the back porch. The only complaints was the property was dirty especially the window seals and baseboards. There were some necessities that would improve the stay in the kitchen. Example, there wasn't a blender. The cabinets and drawers could have been more organized and they needed more knives. Thank you!!

Listing lacking information

The home listing is lacking significantly. All bedrooms are up a huge flight of stairs. We rented this home as a place for our family to stay together while we were in town for a wedding. When we arrived we realized all the bedrooms were upstairs. This posed a significant problem for us because part of our group was elderly. We ended up having to buy a baby gate also, because the stairs were very dangerous for our small children. Had the listing stated this, we would have chose alternative lodging.

Worked for us

Honestly mixed feelings. If the house was remodeled, it would be fantastic. Some areas of the house were pretty rough around the edges. Front door had wooden shims to hold the glass in place, the second bathroom had issues with the bathtub faucet. We never got it working properly. Overall cleanliness was good, but found a beer can in a window seal, and the dishwasher was full when we arrived. The one thing that annoyed us the most was Check out was at 10:00, and either the owner or the cleaning person was there at 9:45 waiting outside in their car and watched us while we loaded our car. Was kind of creepy.

Great location but very neglected & dirty

This property was in a great location and a very quiet neighborhood. It had good size bedrooms. All of the table seating for only four people so that was a bit awkward.If you are a fastidiously clean person, this property is not for you. It has not been deep cleaned in a long long time. Every single bar of soap that is ever been used is still here. If you want to use the pool table there’s no chalk so bring your own. The dishwasher does not work so you’ll be doing all of your dishes by hand in a bowl because the stoppers don’t fit the drains. The outdoor patio has no seating except for dilapidated folding metal chairs, and the deck was uncared for. The home host was very nice and showed up, but was inefficient and ineffectual. I paid a fairly significant cleaning fee and we had to strip our own linens. I threw away the kitchen sponge because it had been used by who knows how many people. The cabinets are splattered with I don’t know what. The bathrooms were mostly clean. The towels are like sandpaper.

Bedbugs and Jank

While the neighborhood was not bad at all, the house was not as ideal as we had imagined. With 2 toddlers, the stairs were a huge hazard, though there were no mishaps. Alot of the outlets and other types of wall plugs were poorly installed. A board in the ceiling of the living room was coming off. However, most importantly and also upsetting was the fact that my wife and I were bitten by bed bugs 10+ times each. This is absolutely unacceptable! We have washed everything we brought in the hopes of preventing them from spreading to our own home. Luckily it would seem our children were not bitten, so the problem seem to be isolated to the master bedroom for the time being. Also, there was zero communication from the owner before hand and we had to play phone tag through Evolve to get the code to enter for our stay. We whole heartedly do not recommend staying here. And we have not heard back since reporting the existance of bed bugs. So I repeat, POOR COMMUNICATION!

McKinney or Bust

Colorado School of Mines alumni traveled to McKinney for the D2 National Championship football game & this home was perfect for a group of fans to have a home base for the weekend’s activities. The pool table & parlor were perfect for our group to gather and get reconnected. The location was ideal as it was close to the main road but in a quiet neighborhood. The property had everything we needed.

Family stay

This house worked out great for us. We have a large family and we all had room. It was also great to see grandparents teaching kids how to play pool 🎱 and this was possible because of this house. Thanks for the great family memories.
