About this property

Crape Myrtle Cottage in McKinney Historic District

Welcome to our sweet and cozy Crape Myrtle Cottage! This beautifully renovated 2 bed 2 bath home built in 1950 sits in the heart of the McKinney Historic District, walking distance to the quaint historic square with the best restaurants and shops in the city. A sweet and special, low-tox setting for your next girls’ weekend or family trip.

The backyard hosts a quaint, covered seating area to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening cocktail. The large, fenced in backyard is perfect for outdoor games! A cornhole and a giant jenga set are available for use in the backyard shed.

This is a low-tox, fragrance-free rental! We use all non-toxic cleaning products (Branch Basics) for general cleaning needs as well as laundry and dishes, and we provide detergent and dishwashing pods during your stay. All hand soap is Branch Basics, and shower items are Public Goods brand. The cottage has an AirDoctor air purifier with regularly changed filters. Laundry detergent is provided, and we ask that you please refrain from using any fragranced laundry products :)

We live 2 blocks from the cottage and will be available to help with anything during your stay. While we encourage you to have a great time, please be mindful of our neighbors! No large parties, no pets, and no smoking. Thank you!

Just perfect for us!

We had a wonderful mother/daughter trip. This charming little house was perfect for us. We loved morning coffee in the gingham chairs. It was so nice to each have our own wing, with our own bedroom and bath.The neighborhood is so charming and perfect locationWe’ll be back!

Wonderful Property!

We travel a lot for softball tournaments and this was one of my favorites! It was so clean and the way they have refurbished it was fabulous! Super easy check in, hosts were incredibly responsive and it was in the historic district which I loved! Will definitely stay again!

Fun decor, comfortable and great location.

The hospitality basket was nice and the choice of coffee was excellent. We were celebrating a late Christmas with our daughters who live in Vienna, Austria and Doral FL. Our Fl gauhhter was staying with in laws in McKinney and the older daughter came from Houston and stayed with us in the cottage.

McKinney Historic District is Fantastic! Cottage is quaint and clean!

We were celebrating a friends B-day! The cottage was adorable! Super close to the Historic District of McKinney! The cottage is quaint and super clean! There were 4 women. I slept on a blow up mattress because there is one queen bed and one full. Our only suggestion would be to take out full bed and put a Queen or King in that room!

Historical cottage

I must say pictures didn't do its justice. I was very surprised how nice the place is when I walked in. Also, the smell of freshness! The host, Ali was very helpful. Any questions I had she was there to answer within minutes! She made our stay very pleasant. I would rebook this place again.
