The pool, hot tub and fenced backyard are shared with our main residence, although we make every effort to give our guests plenty of room and privacy to relax and enjoy them.

EXPLORE HISTORIC DOWNTOWN McKINNEY

Historic Downtown McKinney is one of our favorite things about living here — and one of the best parts of staying at The Carriage House.

Spend the day exploring locally owned restaurants, boutiques, coffee shops, wine bars, antiques and art, then stick around for dinner, drinks and live entertainment around the historic Square.

Even better Take the golf cart! 🛺

Guests who meet our golf-cart requirements may use it within a one-mile radius, making trips around the neighborhood and into downtown part of the fun.

Golf-cart drivers must be licensed. After booking, we’ll request a copy of the driver’s license and personal auto insurance before providing access.

Prefer your own two feet Historic Downtown McKinney is close enough to enjoy on foot as well.

STAY IN & GET COZY

After a day exploring McKinney, settle in with our 70” TV, basic DirecTV channels and your favorite streaming apps.

We also keep board games on hand for a little old-fashioned competition.

Throughout the loft you’ll find local art and pottery, along with a custom mural painted by a local artist on the staircase. We love supporting our McKinney neighbors and bringing a little of our town’s personality into the space.

We also add seasonal touches throughout the year, so The Carriage House may look a little extra festive depending on when you visit.

PUP-FRIENDLY 🐾

We love furry travelers! Our shared fenced backyard gives your pup room to stretch their legs and enjoy a little Texas sunshine.

Because even a fenced yard isn’t escape-proof, we ask that dogs be supervised whenever they’re outside.

Dogs left alone in the loft must be crated. Don’t want to travel with a bulky crate Just ask — we’re happy to have one waiting for you when you arrive.

You may occasionally see our own pups, Winnie and Maggie, enjoying the shared backyard, but we make every effort to ensure their schedule doesn’t interfere with your stay.
