We had a lovely 2 night stay in this adorable house. We hosted a casual, rehearsal dinner with friends and family the night before our daughter’s wedding. All the guests loved the space and really enjoyed sitting on the back porch. The owners were super kind and very easy to work with. Very quick to respond. Check in and out was a breeze. Location is excellent and close to Chestnut square where the wedding was. We will definitely return.

Super clean and laid out well. Only issue was the fenced area was under construction and made it inconvenient with dogs.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Jan, 2026
Howdy! Apologies for the confusion. The home is pet-friendly, but the outdoor area for grilling was not previously completely enclosed and intended for dogs (it just had a short picket fence with lots of gaps). We added a new picket fence to provide an enclosed area, which we did not have before. We hope you consider The Texas Bluebonnet for your next stay in the area, with the pups!

They thought of everything so this was the most well equipped VRBO we have stayed in. Kitchen had everything we needed, beds and pillows are comfortable, the ping-pong table was fun, and they had a lot of games that made our down time really enjoyable with our family.

Amazing Place and hosts!

The place is adorable, comfortable and clean. Hosts were helpful for a last minute booking request. All the necessities for a stay are provided and some convenient extras like coffee, board games and great TV options. I was remote working and the WiFi and desk set up in main bedroom was convenient and worked well. We will definitely choose it again when in the area visiting family.

Here's a little ditty about John & Diane, 2 Vrbo hosts doin' the best that they can! John & Diane went above and beyond to accommodate our 9 day stay in Mckinney for our wedding. We traveled with 3 dogs so initially the fence to the outdoor pet area was too short for our pups. They ended up adding an extension to the fence to accommodate our needs so we booked immediately due to the fence & super-fast responses. The check-in was very easy, the location was ideal for our wedding "home base" & very close to Historic Downtown, the rooms were spotless upon check-in along with a kind note and gift welcoming us for our special stay. The décor was absolutely stunning & captured the theme of our Texas wedding perfectly!John & Diane checked in with us several times throughout our stay to ensure we had everything we needed which we definitely did since they thought of everything for us for our extended stay. They even recommended pet-friendly places to go with our fur babies. When we return to McKinney, we will surely stay at the Texas Bluebonnet Home again. Thank you again John & Diane for your professionalism and kindness!

Loved our stay here. It was a very comfortable house for our family.. a great room with a King bed room downstairs for the grandparents and great rooms upstairs for the rest of us. 8 all together. The location was perfect too .. close to the downtown district of McKinney and close to Walmart etc.. Was very nice. The only possible issue is if you are short the top kitchen cabinets are hard to reach .. otherwise it was a perfect home and very comfortable. We put the 500 piece puzzle together that was there and also played some other games provided.. Thank you for a great smooth stay!

So glad you enjoyed your stay and we're grateful to have had the opportunity to host you at The Texas Bluebonnet! Really appreciate the feedback as well. We'll look to see if we can arrange cabinet items to bring them lower, and perhaps lighter items on the top shelves. Thank you again! Feedback is always helpful! We look forward to hosting your stay again in the future! John & Dianne

About the host

Hosted by John & Dianne

Host profile image
We love hosting and providing a warm and hospitable experiences for our guests, whether you’re staying for a vacation, McKinney event, wedding, tournament, music concert or just a friends getaway…And we love the great state of Texas, so the home theme is very important! We don’t just want to provide a “place to stay”, but rather an exciting and memorable experience for you. Location is important, and The Texas Bluebonnet has that, but the home stay is key to the experience.

Why they chose this property

We love the historic and vibrant McKinney scene. There is always something going on in and around the Square. TUPPS and Spoons definite favorites, with a very close second with the many events, concerts, wine walks, beer samplings, outdoor restaurant venues and the list goes on, within the area.

What makes this property unique

The Ol' Texas vibe in the corner house people regularly notice and comment very positively on in the historic downtown McKinney area. It’s either the pretty blue blue and white exterior, the white picket fence, the stunning landscaping and overarching Texas Pecan tree, the relaxing screened patio or a combination of all of it!
