It is clean and available for use during your stay. Please note that if you do store items in the garage, it is not temperature regulated and cannot be guaranteed to be water tight. We cannot be held responsible for any damages to items stored inside of the garage. There is ample space for additional parking in the driveway. ⏺SNOW: While snow is infrequent in McKinney, TX, it can occasionally occur during the winter months. To ensure your safety and comfort during your stay, please keep an eye on local weather forecasts and alerts for any changes in conditions. If you need to travel, drive cautiously as roads may be slippery and visibility may be reduced. Make sure your vehicle is equipped with snow tires or chains if possible, and carry an emergency kit including blankets, food, and water. Our home is equipped with heating to keep you comfortable, so dress in layers, use the extra blankets provided, and avoid prolonged exposure to cold temperatures outside. Be cautious when walking on driveways, sidewalks, and steps, as surfaces may be icy. Wear appropriate footwear with good traction and take your time to avoid slips and falls. Additionally, maintain indoor safety by keeping pathways to exits clear of snow and ice and avoid using space heaters and other heating devices that may pose a fire hazard. By following these precautions, you can enjoy a safe and pleasant stay in our home, even during unexpected snow conditions. ⏺AIR CONDITIONING: Texas summers are HOT! With this in mind, some of the bedrooms have ceiling fans and we highly recommend you have them running during peak heat to ensure maximum airflow. It will help the AC run more efficiently! If you are unfamiliar with central air there are a few things we would like to share to help make your stay as comfortable as possible! Air Conditioning units work most efficiently when temperatures are reduced gradually. Allow the unit to cool the home in 2 degree increments and take a break for at least 30 mins before proceeding to the next temperature drop. Once you reach your desired temperature, you can leave it on "hold" and it will comfortably maintain the home. For example, if the home is 78 and I wish to reduce it to 72 then I would set the temperature to 76 then from 76 to 74 and 74 to 72 (taking 30 min breaks after each temperature threshold is met). Taking these types of breaks between cooling cycles to get to the desired temperature you want will help ensure the system doesn't overwork itself and create a frozen coil! Once I am at 72 you can leave it at the desired temperature and the system will kick on automatically as needed. In the event that a frozen coil occurs, you will have the AC turned on and the cool air won't circulate!!! In order to resolve this you will need to turn the temperature setting up (80-85 or so) so the outside AC condenser shuts off and run the unit in the "fan" only mode for a FEW HOURS (often 8-12 hours) in order to defrost the coils entirely. When you turn the unit back on, be sure to follow the 2 degree cooling cycle that is outlined above or the coil will freeze and you will find yourself in a hot home all summer long! Please note: that there is no "temperature" lock on the thermostat. However, it is not recommended to have the temperature set to more than 20 degrees cooler than the outside temperature. For example, if the outside temperature is 95 degrees, we advise not to set the home below 75 degrees. Failure to follow these instructions will cause frozen coils that we described above and result in any maintenance calls or repairs to become your financial responsibility. ⏺EXTENDED STAY: We truly appreciate extended stays of 30 days or longer. If you choose to stay with us for an extended period, it would be our pleasure to accommodate you and offer special discounts tailored for those bookings.

We kindly request that you plan accordingly and make necessary arrangements for the duration of your stay. We also want to inform you about a few additional details regarding extended stays: 1.Minimum Monthly Clean: To ensure the cleanliness and comfort of the property, we require a minimum monthly cleaning service to be performed.
