The house was great for a family because there were several outdoor spaces to gather - the covered back porch, a side deck next to the kids room, a front deck and large back yard. We could also easily get to town and Melissa to the wedding we attended. The owners are nearby and were very responsive to a question we had.

The home and fabulous location is everything you love about McKinney! The home is a nod to the past with a backyard you will want to enjoy your coffee and breakfast each morning. You will love the neighborhood and insteadly feel part of the McKinney community while taking advantage of being a short walk away from Finch Park. We loved it!

Convenient and hassle-free
It was a cute house located near historic downtown McKinney. The surrounding houses and neighborhood had very cute/historic homes as well. The hosts were super easy to get a hold of and lived near so it gave me peace of mind knowing they were close if anything went wrong, which nothing did.

Cute little house
The house was charming with bright lights and windows, and doors that can be closed to section off parts of the house for others if needed, a spacious back yard and lawn with a great back porch setting area. I appreciated that they had spices and the necessary items to cook with. All the appliances worked great. We appreciated the fresh eggs Molly gave us, too. It was a nice and quaint place in a quiet neighborhood close to downtown. I would most definitely stay there again.

Week in McKinney for baseball
Was in the area for my son’s week long baseball tournament. House is in the historic downtown area of McKinney. House and area has great character. Was easy to access shopping and great restaurants. Great access to the freeway for driving to baseball diamonds in the Melisa Texas area. Well worth the stay compared to a hotel room. Will use again when he cones back to play again.

TMR weekend
Nice house but this is an old house that has been remodeled. Amenities are nice and AC worked great. Very quiet neighborhood. Streets are narrow so if driving a wide vehicle avoid the side streets. Host was amazing with great communication. A little too far to walk downtown with chairs in the heat. No hesitation to stay again!

Excellent Stay & The Best Hosts
Molly & Trey were, by far, the best hosts I have ever encountered. I truly appreciate the hosts' hospitality and care to our guests. I would recommend this place and any other place the hosts have simply for their kindness and excellent communication.
This home was the perfect place for our family get together. We were in town for a wedding and 15 met for dinner then had coffee and dessert at the little house. The back porch was gathering place and it was just the right size. We loved every minute of it. The tidiness of the house, the decor, the space was perfect!
Highly recommended!

Christmas turned around!
We were living a holiday nightmare...our original registration with another vendor in Austin was canceled with no warning. Then our family decided to meet in Dallas and I lucked upon the Saint Raphael Place with just a week before Christmas. Things immediately began to get better with my first communication with Molly! Once she found out how awful things had been leading up to me making the reservation, she seemed determined to help me turn things around! She helped me place a grocery order (so that I didn't have to go grocery shopping on Christmas Eve when we arrived,) picked up the order so she could have things ready for us, then promised to stay available that night when our flight was delayed to make sure we were able to get in the house after midnight. They left a "welcome" treat for us in the kitchen and made us feel welcomed in their quaint home! The house was exactly as described, clean and decorated for the holidays! If there was a way to rate Saint Raphael Place with 10 stars, I would. I will definitely reserve the house again if a need arises! I truly believe Molly is an angel!!!

Most amazing home stay I've ever had!
I can't rave enough about our stay here! The house was beautifully and uniquely decorated and extremely well-stocked. That was really helpful since I have a near 3-year-old who inevitably needed various household things like plastic baggies or paper towels that I hadn't anticipated needing. The yard was beautiful and spacious, and there's even a little pond! The hosts were also very communicative and thoughtful. I would give 10 stars if I could!! Thank you so much for your hospitality.
