Fantastic home, great for a family get together.
We rented over the Christmas holiday and walked into a tastefully decorated, well appointed residence that quickly felt like “home away from home” which Marie helped make reality.
From the ping-pong and pool tables in the garage, laundry facilities, volleyball court, swing set, fire pit and propane grill in the backyard to the two stories of bedrooms and baths, living room with fireplace and wall mounted TV screen and blankets, to the bonus family room upstairs, we couldn’t have asked for more.
Highly recommended!! Thanks again Marie, you’re a fabulous property manager.
Amazing ranch. Cake into town for a wedding in McKinney and not a bad short drive away. It did rain quite a bit so heed the warning on the dirt road- it was quite muddy. Upon arrival for check in at 4 the crew was still cleaning. We just packed up and ran to the grocery store, but had hoped with the later check in time we could have dropped our bags first. The property manager was very attentive and brought more propane as requested. All in all, beautiful home, exactly what we needed to escape the huddle of wedding weekend. Beautifully decorated (even with Christmas decor!) would absolutely stay here again.

Pros: The property was amazing. The house was full stocked. The fireplace near the porch was PERFECT. They even developed more wood for us to enjoy ourselves. There’s plenty of games for every age group. The movie room was a plus since we traveled with an 8 year old. You literally do not need to bring anything but clothes and food. Messaging Marie was a breeze. She responded quickly.
Cons: We did have a few issues like the top floor restroom leaking down to the maain floor shower, ice machine not working, a large amount of flys inside the property, and a few stains
on the carpet.

Great stay. Accommodated 10 of us in town for a wedding in the country. House was clean, and well supplied. It provided us peace and quiet away from the festivities. Great for a large group! Would definitely stay again if we are in the neighborhood.

House is huge, beautiful, tastefully furnished, and extremely well stocked with everything needed for a great stay. Marie was friendly and very helpful. However, the contact person (not Marie) Lied that the driveway had been fixed and was in good condition. It was full of ruts, ridges, and huge potholes it's full length. The nearby dump reeks so we couldn't enjoy the outside amenities. We stopped counting after killing 56 flies Inside the house. We enjoyed our (inside) stay, but I wouldn't book again due to the road that may have damaged our vehicle and the fetid dump stench.
smells from the dump. impassible.

Thank you for your detailed review. We’re truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the spaciousness of the house, its furnishings, and Marie’s helpful hospitality. We appreciate you highlighting those positive aspects.
Regarding the road, we apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. The driveway was recently repaired, but with ongoing construction in the neighborhood, conditions can fluctuate. We are continuously working to improve this, and your feedback is valuable in helping us address it more effectively.
As for the nearby landfill, we understand that it may have affected your enjoyment of the outdoor amenities during your stay. We are looking into solutions to minimize any impact on our guests.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope that despite these challenges, you were able to enjoy your time inside the home.
