Came for five days to view the eclipse on 4-8-2024 and had a wonderful experience. The location will transition to a wedding venue and will be ideally suited for that purpose. The owner is exceptional In every respect. We had family and friends from four states and from overseas and everyone had a wonderful experience.
A group of sorority sisters and I rented the home last summer for our annual girls weekend. The home was dirty, including the oven. It had roaches. One of the girls found chips in one the linen of the bunk beds.The water in the pool was so cold that we couldnât enjoy the pool, which is one of the reasons we selected the home. The home is beautiful, the property owners are nice; however, the home is not what we thought we were getting.
Darrell's place was a good spot for our family to spend Thanksgiving week together. Darrell was particularly helpful and responsive as we settled in; both responding to emails and taking a couple late night calls. The physical features of his place are delightful and as advertised. The one element of our stay that wasn't up to par was the infestation (I know that's a strong word but given the volume, I don't think an overstatement) of grasshoppers inside the home. Our first night was particularly tough when our daughter found crickets in her bed and, as a result, didn't sleep well for the entirety of the visit. This circumstance was, of course, beyond Darrell's control but I feel compelled to indicate we wouldn't return without assurance that this problem was addressed.
Group of 12 men in town for a sports tournament, this property was excellent and just what we needed. Excellent overall experience in renting, communication with the owner, amenities and cleanliness. A nitpicker would find something to complain about, but thatâs not our group. We enjoyed every minute, and will look at the Melissa Barn first on our next visit to Texas!!
Our visit was a combination of business and family. We highly recommend this property for a family fun getaway or a larger event, perfect wedding and meeting venue.
The host Darrel was wonderful! From check-in to check-out, he was very accommodating. Loved the country experience with all the modern conveniences. A huge plus for us was we had the country experience but were close enough to receive delivery for the few things we forgot to bring.
Great property in a great location. Quiet and private, we enjoyed our trip for a family get together for the weekend. Great communication with property owner. The grandkids really enjoyed the pool and the games provided. We would definitely return. You won't be disappointed.
The owner was flexible, responsive and easy to work with. The house was perfect for visiting with family, playing games and spending time together. Very comfortable.
The property was the perfect backdrop for our college reunion. We were all very comfortable with the house and found the outdoor spaces perfect for our group. The pool was a bit too cold for our trip, but the casita, ping pong table, and barn helped us create amazing memories. Darryl was fantastic to work with and made sure that we had everything for our stay. The house and property were definitely one of the trip highlights!
We booked this venue to accommodate our December 2020 wedding ... during the COVID chaos! Everything was perfect!! From the venue, accommodations, communication with the owner & staff ... it was all perfect!! Weâre already talking about booking again in the future!!
This house is beautiful with many adult games to play like darts, billiards and ping pong. The only negative is that the pool is not heated so we could not take full advantage of the incredible back yard. Also, there is a quirk to the house. The Master bathroom has double glass French doors which gives zero privacy. The bedroom door lock does not work so a few of us had people walk in on us while in the shower. Other than that, this property is a dream for a layed back family vacation.
This property is 10 minutes north of downtown McKinney. It is a very well equipped, nice home with an awesome huge back yard with plenty to do. There is a beautiful huge pool with a cabana with a TV lounge area, and plenty of seating all around the expansive back yard. It was the perfect environment to practice social distancing in these times. There are also darts, ping-pong table and foosball table in the garage, and a pool table inside. The grounds are beautiful and the back lot has a beautiful event venue for Weddings, Private Parties, etc.....Would definitely recommend!!
We had a great stay at the property. The outdoor space is amazing.....our kids loved it. Darrell was such a great host and so responsive to anything needed. A much needed peaceful break in the country during these crazy times.
From my first inquiry to my last contact with Darrell, the entire process was 150% excellent. Darrell was patient,considerate,accommodating, simply on point! The property, the home allowed our family to have an amazing time and to celebrate thanksgiving as if we were at home. The adults and kids all had a wonderful time, from constant pool games to ping pong, basketball and even the polar plunge in 36 degree weather! Our family will definitely be visiting again!
Great property to enjoy time with family and friends
Spent the weekend with family and friends. The house was large and comfortable enough for the the eight family members. Had my sonâs rehearsal dinner in the barn with approx. 80 in attendance. Great property and a great weekend.
We had a wonderful time with our family during our one week stay. House was perfect, very comfortable! A fantastic pool and cabana area. Large yard for all kinds of activities with the grandkids, pool table in house for the adults and foosball, darts etc in garage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Darrell and his sister were so nice and very easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this property!
We had an excellent stay! The owners were excellent to work with and were very helpful with anything we needed. The property is perfect for relaxing and/or play time. The house offered indoor games, plus outdoor games/balls/equipment and even pool toys. We were very pleased and enjoyed it!
And finally, THE BEDS WERE SO COMFORTABLE!!! We all slept great!

As a child growing up loving horses, I dreamed of owning a home in the country with a white fence and a red barn. I have been a Home Inspector in the area now for over 20 years. I actually inspected this home for a buyer and fell in love with it during the inspection. I informed the buyer that if he ever sold I would be interested in buying. Well that day came six months later and I jumped at the chance. I have exhaustively updated the property over the years. Heather and I am now ready to share this piece of heaven with you.
This property offers a country atmosphere without having to wind around country roads to access the property. It's very easy to access from several roads in the area. The property is located minutes north of McKinney. One of the things I have enjoyed the most about the property is being able to see the stars at night. Drive a few minutes south and they disappear.
Our home is suitable for a wide range of use, whether your a family with kids looking to get away, a group looking for a retreat, an individual not wanting to stay in a hotel room, or you're looking for a place for a outdoor smaller event.
