This property was great! The cottage is beautifully decorated, and it is immaculately maintained. There was nothing we found lacking in the amenities. The kitchen was completely furnished. The beds were very comfortable. The host immediately responded to our questions. We highly recommend the property.

If you find this home available, book it now! My family and I stayed 2 nights while attending meetings at McMurry. Lots of space and great attention to the details that count. We love the historic features of the property, and how it's been beautifully updated. We loved having coffee on the back porch while watching hummingbirds, so grateful to have a steamer to freshen up our outfits after traveling, and super comfy beds. Thanks for a great stay!
