We loved our stay in this beautiful home! We spent most of our time by the fire pit or on the amazing porch. My granddaughter (and the whole family) also loved being able to walk to the playground. With young children, we also appreciated the fully stocked kitchen, making meals at home easy!

This was a fantastic pet-friendly home. The back yard was expansive and beautiful, with plenty of outdoor seating on the porch to watch tv as well as around the fire pit. The home also has comfortable furniture inside with abundant seating on the couches and in dining areas. The kitchen was well stocked with more appliances than we have at home. We visited in December and the home was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The location is close the highway and easy to find. Heather is a friendly host! We would definitely stay again!

Came to Melissa for a grandson's birthday.

This home is absolutely perfect! The host are very attention detailed and you feel right at home. Heather communicated through out the booking and checked in while we were there to make sure we didn't need anything. I highly recommend this property in Melissa, TX. The location is in a nice subdivision and it is so peaceful. I will definitely stay here again when a group of us are in town to visit my son and family that live nearby.

Family Fun

We all had a great time staying in Melissa. McKinney is just a short drive away if you are wanting an outing for shopping or dinner. Home is lovely and well furnished and supplied. This is a very well taken care of property. Backyard is huge and beautiful. We enjoyed grilling out and sitting on the massive back porch and just enjoying the view. I told our host it feels like Glamping in the backyard with all the comforts and conveniences of home.

Do not hesitate to book!!

We (Myself, spouse, 3 children and dogs) had the best experience at this VRBO property. The property owner, Heather, was remarkable. She made sure our stay was perfect and that we had everything we needed the duration of our stay. The pictures don't do this place justice. The backyard is truly an oasis. It felt like a cabin in Broken Bow. Our kids and dogs LOVED it! Great space for the dogs to roam free and the kids to be kids in the backyard. The interior is stunning and feels like home. The beds were comfortable, each room had a tv and there were plenty of spots to relax. Highly recommend this property! :)

BETTER THAN A 5 STAR HOTEL

From the moment we drove onto the tree lined property it felt like home. The property and house itself is beautiful. There are many trees around and you feel like you’re in your own personal park. We opened the front door and it was like walking into a model home yet it was so incredibly comfortable we felt relaxed and made ourselves at home. Everything in the home was high quality from the furniture to the dishes to the linens. Heather checked on us multiple times to make sure our stay was absolutely perfect and we had everything we needed. We stayed here a total of 3 weeks and we’re sad to leave. If you’re a family or a larger group needing to stay around the Mckinney/Melissa area, this is the house for you!
