We stayed in the Bluebonnet room that has it's own private balcony. So peaceful and homey. Imagine stepping back in time and visiting your Grandmother. Room is so spacious, beds very comfortable, bathroom/shower very clean and roomy. There's even a towel heater! The whole home is so tastefully decorated with antiques and accents just like "grandma's". The yard (front and back) is neatly manicured with all kinds of native plants and trees and added little touches of "home". We loved sitting on the balcony, relaxing listening to the birds. But even if you don't get the private balcony, the front porch of the house is awesome too with a porch swing. And then there's the backyard with the gazebo and several seating areas. Next morning we walked down Church Street and oh my gosh...SUCH beautiful historic homes in this neighborhood. To top it off, Debbie and Gary are the BEST hosts and it's obvious they truly love what they do. We sat on the bar stools in the kitchen while they were cooking breakfast for us and visited just like old friends. Did I mention breakfast? Homemade cinnamon rolls, homemade biscuits, scrambled eggs, baked pears, cheese jalapeno grits and bacon...yum, yum! So delicious! I'm thinkin' a "girl's trip" to McKinney is in my future and going back to the Red Gate Inn!
