A nice, reasonably renovated house with plenty of room, perfect for a group of women celebrating a milestone birthday. However, upon arrival, it was clear that some finishing touches and a deep cleaning were needed. Grease splatters behind the stove on the wall, rings in the toilet, and dishes still in the dishwasher were missed opportunities for a warm welcome. While the location was conveniently close to downtown and other destination spots, the outside noise made for some sleepless nights. Despite being a dog lover, the constant barking at night in the neighborhood kept those staying in the front of the house with some restless and sleepless nights. Additionally, large diesel trucks from neighboring houses running late into the night also created some exhaustion. We didn't contact the owners during our stay regarding these details because we were already there so a deep cleaning couldn't be done and not sure what they would have done about the middle of the night noise.

Great older home in downtown McKinney that has been redone in a beautiful rustic style with all the modern amenities. Kitchen is amazing-I would love to have it in my own home! Wedding weekend with friends and family and the venues close by. Great downtown area close to everything you could need and then some.

The Blue Cactus was perfect for our eight friends’ get away!! Plenty of space to visit and just hang out! Perfect location to lots of fun shopping and restaurants. The owners were quick to respond when inquiries were made for more towels. Suggestions for a mirror in each room and a few more chairs in the living area. It was wonderful!!

Family Staycation

Family Staycation

We enjoyed a 2-night stay at The Blue Cactus and had a fabulous family- sisters/cousins weekend. The house is decorated with an adorable farmhouse vibe exactly as the photos highlight. So much space for 10 of us....mostly adults with 3 kids. Very close to downtown Mckinney square. Perfect for our family staycation playing games and reconnecting. Exceeded our expectations!

It’s the little things

It’s the little things

Coffee. Laundry detergent. Shampoo & conditioner. And a full length mirror! I thought I died and went to heaven. Only complaint was the front of the house was tough to cool down. The units in the back provided a cool spot to chill. The primary bedroom was spacious l. Loved the exposed beams. A few hooks or a bar to hang clothing would be nice as space does not have a closet. Highly recommend. Fit our group of 9 perfectly!

Super easy check in & check out

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Blue Cactus. It is a very cute home with plenty of space for our party of 5. Our group consisted of my daughters and their significant others, as well as myself. We came to McKinney for a wedding of a family member. We had so much fun. We walked to The Farmers Market in downtown and had a quick brunch at The Yard. It was delish! The master bedroom is located on one side of the home with the other 2 bedrooms located on the other side of the home. There is a bathroom these 2 bedrooms share. This is MY FIRST BNB rental. The check in and check out process was super easy!!!
