We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Elm house. Very spacious and extremely clean. There were 9 in our group and there was plenty of room with plenty of beds. The air conditioner wasn’t working great and within an hour of contacting our agent they were coming to fix it and we had no other problems, Terri was wonderful to work with! We will definitely be back!

Location was not exactly walking distance to downtown. We drove to downtown because of the heat. Home is older. Needs a bigger Ac unit.nor a portable upstairs... it was so hot we couldn’t even use the upstairs. We doubled up in two rooms downstairs and had to buy a fan .
Closet in front room smelled of mildew / wet carpet. So we were unable to use it.
I was tempted to leave but owner tried her best to fix AC and I appreciated that. (AC
had froze up... prior to our arrival. ) We still had a great time in Mckinney and didn’t let the little things concern us too much.

AC wasn’t working for 24 hours. Owner did her best but it was too hot. Needs more than 1 unit.

My family stayed in the Blue Elm over the Easter holiday weekend. We walked to town twice. Across the street is an elementary school. We took our 2 year old over to play twice. The home is casual and warm, big and easy to take care off. I would definately stay again. There's a nice backyard also.

Many family members planned to attend a wedding in McKinney, so the idea of a lot of us being able to stay together was appealing, especially since we don't see each other all that often. A house suitable for a large gathering seemed appropriate, so this house, for ten, looked about right. Unfortunately, those ten have to be close enough to each other to sleep together, and not all our family is, so the house really accommodates comfortably only about eight sleepers. And, for those who stay upstairs, the bathing part of the bathroom wasn't very useful for those accustomed to showering. And, yes, I realize that was acknowledged on the web site. According to one who slept there, the upstairs carpet could use a cleaning.
So, we had eight people, but we couldn't all eat together because there are only six dining room chairs--another web site claim. And that many people sharing a single shower made for some interesting schedules.
All that said, we were able to enjoy the very comfortable front room for stop-over visits by other family members. The kitchen facilities were adequate and sufficient for our needs, except that--minor detail--it's a good thing we didn't all drink coffee as there weren't enough cups to go around, and we also ran out of paper products. Bedrooms need some side tables and a chair or two for comfort--just some homey touches. A concern was parking, but since we were there during a holiday weekend, no one complained.
The house is centrally located, so it was easy to find and to drive to. It's also in a working-class neighborhood, no nearby grocery stores or restaurants to walk to, but that was not a problem for us.
While I realize that an owner has an investment to protect, the rental process as well as the list of do's and don't's was a little intimidating. I fully expected to be hit with an additional charge for failing one of the many, and detailed, departure expectations. Other VRBO experiences have not been nearly as restrictive.
Because of the per person price, the location, the number of family who slept there and who gathered there, I would rent it again. The positives outweigh the negatives.

It's been two weeks since my son's wedding in McKinney, and we are all still talking about how fun and special it was to stay in Blue Elm House with our family and our son's groomsmen. The house is very spacious, with room to sleep and host a large group. This made it very easy for us to all be together eating, playing, laughing and sleeping. The upstairs "master" is like a huge loft, with lots of room for people to sleep, with a roomy bathroom and large walk-in closet. Joe and Carolyn and their staff do a great job of keeping it well stocked with all of the towels and amenities you need. The large, modern kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, cooking supplies, and a few basic pantry items. We had plenty of cleaning supplies, shampoo and conditioner -- even bath salts for a soaking bath after the wedding! We also talked extensively before our visit to be sure that certain things we wanted to use would be there -- and they were all there! The location is perfect -- close to the major highways and almost any shopping you can imagine within a 10-20 minute radius. We had a few mechanical issues while we were there, but Joe and Carolyn were extremely attentive and worked diligently to get things sorted out as quickly as possible. We are so thankful that such a wonderful option existed for all of us to make such wonderful memories at such a special time in our lives. Thank you, Joe and Carolyn, for caring so much about your guests. We highly recommend!

Great location and big roomy house!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Elm House. We were in McKinney for a wedding and the house was within walking distance of the venue, so everything worked out well. There was plenty of room for everyone and the house had everything we needed. We will certainly consider staying there again if in the area.

The Blue Elm gets 5 stars from our family-it was clean, spacious and walking distance to downtown
The Blue Elm was the perfect rental for our family. We were in town for a wedding and the location was central to anything McKinney. The house accommodated 9 of us easily. We especially enjoyed walking to the downtown square for shopping and fun restaurants.

Good place and not far away from town
This place was able to accommodate 10 people very comfortably. And carolyn(owner) was very friendly and helpful..
I would recommend this place..

Stay at Blue Elm house in McKinney was perfect!
Our large family of 7, 5 children ranging from 17-8 enjoyed our stay at this home more than we can express. It has every amity of home, washer/dryer, very clean, close to necessary stores, easy access to hi-ways, lots of room to have individual space. The photos are exactly what you see when you walk in! Ms. Northcutt and her staff were great to work with and made our stay even better knowing they were only a phone call away if needed. I have seen in past reviews about the noise from the shop next door, this was not a issue in the least! It was never distracting, neighbors are friendly and stay to themselves. We can't wait to come back and stay for another visit!

Great Experience
We utilized the Blue Elm House for the Groom Family/Groomsmen for a wedding in McKinney, and everything was great. I was able to utilize the kitchen for finishing the groom's cake, the beds were very comfortable, and the groomsmen used it for getting dressed and chilling. Was walking distance (20 minutes) of the McKinney Historical Square area.
About the only thing I managed to miss was a detail list of what would be in the house - i.e. paper goods, cooking utensils, etc.
Again, would highly recommend to anyone considering staying in the area!
