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!

Overall, this house was the PERFECT spot for a girl weekend for a group of thirty-somethings. The pool was refreshing, and perfect for an afternoon listening to music, drinking cold beverages, and getting some sunshine. Our hosts were responsive & kind.The house was well furnished and had plenty of space for us to each have our own areas. It was close to downtown McKinney which had cute stores, coffee shops, nightlife, and ice cream. We had a lovely weekend catching up and relaxing.

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.

Girls Getaway

Everything we needed to have a memorable stay-cation. Love the neighbor and proximity to downtown McKinney. Comfortable beds for everyone with extra quilts for comfort. Large island great for meal prep. Hours spent sitting around dining table surrounded by adorable window shutters, beautiful antique pieces and chandler! It was pretty hot (Texas in August) so we didn’t sit on porches too long but would be a great gathering place other times of the year. Three generations of ladies felt pampered all weekend…:)
