The host was very attentive, and the spaceproperty was full of character! Unfortunately, the house was extremely cold (say, around 55-60F for most of the stay). I suppose a cold front hit McKinney unexpectedly. I assumed the rental had appropriate accomodations to heat the house (which I expect from any hotel or rental without even looking at any description in the first place), but the description DOES claim that it has heating. Of course, this technically true, but the heaters were one wall unit and 3 small space heaters for a space far larger than they could reasonably heat. It was tolerable for a bit until my now-wife (btw, this was our honeymoon rental) caught a cold the morning of our checkout. She is immunocompromised (autoimmune condition called systemic sclerosis), and I would not have booked this rental had I known this would be the outcome. My wife and I agreed that any renters with children under 5 would not be able to stay here, as it just gets too cold. If the description had clearly stated that this rental did not fare well in the cold weather, this would be entirely my fault. However, this is not the case.Had the host not been super communicative and the space not been full of character, I would have actually given a 0- or 1-star rating. That said, I DO think you would have a 5-star experience on a warmer day! All in all, I think this is a wonderful spot meant to be enjoyed in the late Spring, Summer, and early Fall.
