Beautiful Retreat Near Historic Downtown McKinney

Highly recommend The Dwelling Place in McKinney, Tx. The owner has been responsive and pleasant the entire trip. The house is clean and well maintained. We had a great stay!

Awesome place for restful sleep. Definitely top of our list for McKinney stays. From cleanliness to host communication it was really great.

This is our third time staying at the property for a week or more. When we opened the door on this visit, it was almost like returning home. We come to visit our (grand)children in North Texas and love historic downtown McKinney. Our hosts, Kathy and Sayres have become our friends and we look forward to seeing them as much. They are wonderful hosts that you are going to want to introduce to your friends. We start our visit with coffee and croissants at Collective Coffee, a short walk downtown and brought our family to the Yard for great smashburgers and of course, Hutchins, for the best BBQ in North Texas. Kathy and Sayres recommended Centro on the Square and it is a new favourite. The location is very accessible to all of North Texas shopping, venues and attractions. The home is very comfortable and has all the amenities. It is beautiful inside and out with every amenity and many thoughtful touches throughout. We had a great visit and cannot wait to come back again. If we could give it a 10 stars out of 5 we would!

Beautiful home!! Everything was perfect!! The hosts have done an excellent job creating a luxurious home that makes any stay more enjoyable! We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home and wonderful hosts! Communication with Kathy was very easy and Sayres even stopped by our first night with a welcome basket of fruit. Everything was just as described in the listing. We would definitely love to say here again!

Very cute. The location is on the edge of downtown McKinney. Kids loved the back yard. I did find a previous guest’s dirty sock and hair in the bathroom, but it seemed very clean otherwise.

The home is absolutely beautiful and very well maintained! The owners, Kathy and Sayres, are so sweet and hospitable. They are easy to reach and ensure your stay is pleasant. We look forward to booking this home again in the future.

This is a great place to stay! Great communication from the host and very welcoming.

Had an absolutely amazing stay!!

The cute house was in a really neat area and close to downtown McKinney. The hosts were very nice and wonderful to work with

Beautiful little home. It had all the amenities we needed and wanted. Hosts were amazing, if we needed anything they were right there to help. We had a great little get together with my husbands brother and sister. It was great to be able to just sit around and reminisce and enjoy each others company. Thank you for such a wonderful 3 days.

Charming house in a great location. Great Host!

This is truly a luxury home. The property is even prettier than depicted in the photos. The decor is fabulous, it's super clean, and it smells good too! The Kitchen is stocked with everything you need for preparing gourmet meals; seriously. The land scamping and the grounds are professionally maintained, immaculate, and absolutely beautiful. The back yard has destination areas that include garden art statuary(very tastefully done), a separate firepit seating area, BBQ area, and a cozy back porch complete with seating and a bistro area for two. We were so pleasantly surprised. Kathy goes above and beyond to make sure your stay at the Dwelling Place is everything you could hope for and more. We asked for special provisions upon our arrival, and no problem. Kathy made sure our request was fulfilled, and she even provided more than we asked for. Can't say enough good things about this property and its host. Truly a Premiere Verbo property. We would definitely stay here again! Our only regret is that we booked a short stay in this jewel of a cottage. We all wished we could have stayed longer.

The house was so nice. Owners were great to work with and went over and above to make our stay special. Close to McKinney square, so the location is great! Highly recommend this VRBO!

We had an amazing stay at this VRBO! The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The check-in process was smooth, and communication with the host, Kathy, and Sawyer was excellent throughout our stay.

This is our second visit to the Dwelling Place. We visited last Thanksgiving and knew we would be back! McKinney is a wonderful place and the Dwelling Place is within walking distance of all locations; coffee shops, restaurants, shopping and attractions. It is literally in the middle of North Dallas and all roads lead to its location.We had a wonderful visit in August. Everything was green and growing, with flowers blooming. We could spend more time on the porch for morning coffee and evening chats around the fire pit.Most importantly, it gave us another chance to get to know our hosts a little better. They are very involved in the community and want everyone to share their love for McKinney. We followed up on many of their suggestions and enjoyed them all.Check-in is easy. The luxury accommodations made us comfortable and prepared for a new day. The kitchen is state-of-the-art and the laundry is remarkable. No detail is overlooked. We highly recommend The Dwelling Place to anyone who wants to get away from city/suburban bustle and go back to a simpler life and time! Thanks Kathy and Sayers!

The place was luxurious and immaculately kept. The hosts were amazing.

This home is exactly where you need to stay if you have plans in this area. Kathy is the BEST host and went above and beyond for our stay. this home is beautiful and the cleanest place I have stayed! We will definitely be staying here again. Thank you Kathy for our wonderful weekend!!!

Beautiful home! The house was exactly as the pictures showed. Close to downtown. Communication was great and would stay again if ever in the area!

Literally so happy to have found this house to stay at during our weekend getaway! Everything from the booking process to location and check-ins from the property owner were all on point. The house had everything you could possibly need/want. We have zero complaints! It was such a nice experience in every way. We will use this listing many more times to come!

So impressed with this little place! Not only was it just as pictured but the easiest check in, check out I have done. Communication was spot on. My party of 3 ladies had everything we needed and more. Absolutely the Best! Thank you Kathy and Sayre.

We only needed one night this time around. My husband was having surgery @ Baylor Dallas and we had to be there @ 5:00 am this morning. We wanted to cut out some driving time plus coming threw construction at night is hard for me. So it was safer to come in closer to leave that early. Kathy made sure we were able to do just that. I just love her hospitality and friendlyness. She even prayed for my husband and our safety. We will never forget what she done for us and, it was more than she knew. It was still comfortable as the first time we came and I'm sure it won't be the last. God bless Kathy and her Family.

My daughter, two grandchildren and I stayed in this beautiful home and enjoyed the quaint historic town. The home was well appointed and all the details have been handled and taken care of. The street was super quiet and we especially enjoyed the front porch swing. Communication with the host was efficient and responsive. We would love to stay here again.

We came into town for a golf tournament and chose the Dwelling Place for our stay. It’s a very lovely beautiful home. Enjoyed my coffee on the back porch in the mornings. Comfy beds. Great hosts. Very attentive . Beautiful and fun Historic downtown area. Lots of shops, restaurants and wineries. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Dusty

Absolutely wonderful place. Would most definitely stay here again!!

The cutest house in the neighborhood! Close to everything downtown McKinney. The owner was very communicative. And provided all details in a warm and friendly manner.

Let me start with the communication and hospitality that the hostess delivered. The wine was a nice touch after the long drive through traffic. Everything was just like the pictures and everything was in its place. The house and neighbors were quiet. Everything was clean, and the kitchen was well organized. There were plenty of fresh towels. That little walk-in-closet was perfect for his/hers. Plenty of hangers to hang your clothes. I wanted to sit out in the swing and in the back yard but, it was a bit too cold. The front and the back yard was beautiful. I loved the large pavers and rock together in the front. Thank you both so much for a pleasant stay. I would recommend this to my friends and family.

This property has a vintage charm with the luxury of modern upgrades. It was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for a week-long stay. Our hosts were thoughtful, accommodated special requests and were easily accessible. We travel to this area several times yearly and cannot imagine staying elsewhere.

A jewel in North Texas, the Dwelling Place is a charming and well-appointed home within walking distance of historic McKinney's quaint restaurants and shops and within minutes of many other attractions in North Texas. Our hosts anticipated every need and still checked in to see if we were satisfied or if there was anything more we needed. The home is immaculate and comfortable, situated on a quiet side street. There are patios front and rear on a beautiful yard where I can imagine enjoying a coffee or reading a good book (little chilly during our stay). We were in town to celebrate an early holiday with our grandchildren, shop for Christmas and enjoy some down time. The Dwelling Place is more than a place to overnight. It was an integral part of our experience and a wonderful place to start our holiday. Thanks Kathy and Sayres for the warm hospitality and enjoyable stay! We will be back!

My stay at this charming historic VRBO property in McKinney, TX was absolutely incredible! From the moment I walked in, I could feel the warmth and character of the home. The blend of original architectural details with modern amenities created the perfect balance of comfort and nostalgia. The home was immaculately clean and well-maintained, with thoughtful touches throughout that made it feel like a true retreat. The location was ideal—just a short walk to the quaint downtown McKinney area with its fantastic shops, restaurants, and scenic parks. We enjoyed relaxing on the lovely porch and taking in the beautiful neighborhood, which felt both peaceful and welcoming. The hosts were incredibly responsive and clearly care about providing a top-notch experience for their guests. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or just a peaceful escape in a beautiful historic home, I highly recommend this VRBO property. It’s a true gem in McKinney, and I can’t wait to return!

Three day exploratory visit to McKinney Texas. Quaint home, excellent curb appeal. Interior achieved the difficult balance of classy, welcoming, and functional. Kitchen well equipped and organized. Beds super comfortable. Immaculate cleanliness. Back porch and back yard icing on the cake. This review does not exaggerate the quality of this VRBO.

A beautifully decorated home, quaint, with beautiful touches of love everywhere! The fire pit in the back is great for evenings. It was perfect! The hosts were extremely fast to respond and they were amazing! I would definitely stay here again if I come to this area. I wish all hosts were this amazing! Truly wonderful!

Cute, comfortable and clean. Close to downtown. Nice quiet neighborhood. Hosts helped us resolve wi-fi issue by coming to the house in just a few minutes. Very friendly and welcoming hosts.

This is a charming house that is welcoming and inviting. A great location to enjoy Downtown McKinney.
