About this property

River Valley Place - Sleeps 18 in 2 farm houses. McKinney country setting!

One of a kind cool country setting, secluded yet minutes to McKinney & Frisco for easy access to shopping and restaurants. Situated high on a hill overlooking 57 acres of beauty that is bounded by the east fork of the Trinity River. You're getting BOTH the Cottage and the Farmhouse - which are close yet detached for privacy. We live nearby for quick attention.

We offer a 1600 sq ft air conditioned event barn and 1800 sq ft open-air pavilion for rent for events like weddings, meetings, retreats, and family reunions. We can support weddings up to 150, but 100 would be the ideal guest count. We offer tables, chairs, linens, and farm themed decor for rent for your wedding or other event. ***Outside guests are not allowed on the property without an event agreement and additional fee.

RVP is within a few miles of many other wedding venues, making this perfect for guests or even the bride & groom's first night before honeymoon travel. We are the ideal solution for those needing overnight accommodations for out of town wedding guests plus a location for the wedding rehearsal and dinner for those choosing one of the other nearby venues for their ceremony and reception. We are flexible for your needs!

Situated on 57 acres bounded by the east fork of the Trinity River and on a dead end road that is canopied by giant trees makes this a natural retreat that is just minutes to shopping and dining. The lightly traveled paved county roads out here are absolutely perfect for running and biking! Bring your bikes, they'll be safe out here. At night the stars are bright and clear and the sunrises and evenings are beautiful. The houses are surrounded by trees and since they sit on a hilltop there always seems to be a cooling breeze blowing. We live down the hill a bit so you'll see us occasionally and our amazing friendly dog Jack. You may even see deer in the meadow and an occasional wild turkey coming up from the river. What you won't see or hear is emergency vehicles, lots of cars, loud music, or construction.

Family wedding

We rented the place for our family to stay together for my nephew’s wedding. The place was perfect for a large family and in a beautiful location. It was nice to sit on the porch and drink coffee in the morning as well as in the evening to watch the fireflies. The hosts left a welcome basket and the place was very clean. My parents even commented that it was the nicest place we have ever booked. Thanks to our hosts!

Perfect for a family

We stayed at this lovely property for a wedding in the area. the owners were gracious and allowed us to hold the rehearsal on their lovely property. I highly recommend this wonderful gem that feels like you are in the country but still close to the amenities of the city.

Lovely family get together

We had family together across memorial day weekend to celebrate two birthdays. It was absolutely lovely. The location was peaceful but also close to the grocery store. Kitchens were well stocked with the things you need, and the common areas were comfortable and intimate. The firepit area was a really nice touch.

Tranquil Farmhouse

Loved the farmhouse and cottage! Clean, comfy beds, nice welcome basket! We all enjoyed our stay! Something to note, the first time getting there, Waze took us down a gravel road. There is more than one way to get there, so just research routes if your car is not gravel road friendly.

Wedding party

We rented this place for my daughter (the bride), her bridesmaids, and some family. She and her girls were able to all stay in the main house together and it was perfect. Everything was clean, cozy, and exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend this place.

Beautiful farmhouse!

This is an amazing property! Clean, comfortable beds, lots of space, and an amazing outdoor area. Tucked away in the country, but minutes away from the city and all the amenities you need. Fabulous, stocked coffee bar in both kitchens. We loved our stay!

Wonderful weekend for large family get together!

We rented both the main house and cottage. They were beautifully decorated and very clean. Beds were super comfy! The outdoor space was adorable. Big fire pit with plenty of outdoor seating with great lighting. We were brought lumber each night for the fire. Would definitely suggest this property for a large family get together.

Amazing Family Celebration Accommodation

We were 2 families getting together in a central location to celebrate our grand daughter’s 1st birthday. The Farmhouse and cottage worked out perfectly! The beds were very comfortable. Both places were decorated very nicely and the host were very accommodating with everything from coffee pods to chocolates in the bedrooms. There were even baskets with bags of chips, hot sauce and chocolates. There were extra toothbrushes, soap and shampoo. The owners thought of it all. The kids loved playing on the playground out front, plenty of land for football and frisbee also. We went on walks down the country road and the kids rode their bikes. We just had a fabulous time all the way around. We would like to make this property an annual destination for her birthday 😊. Thank you Warren and Mary for sharing your homes with our families. God Bless, Veronica

Beautiful property

My family (me, my 2 brothers and all our kids) came down for a wedding in McKinney! The farmhouse and the cottage together were perfect! Even though we weren’t there a lot, it was cozy and WAY better than 6 hotel rooms. Checkin process was easy and even though the owners live on the property we had complete privacy. Sitting around the fire pit developed memories that our kids will carry forever. Thanks Warren and Mary for opening up your beautiful home!

About the host

Hosted by Warren and Mary

Host profile image
We moved to McKinney onto our country acreage over 25 year ago to raise our large family in the country. With most of our 8 kids now grown and gone we're ready to share the natural beauty of our homestead with others thanks to the internet and the new short term rentals business.
We love the country but we also love culture and the arts. The DMA, Kimbell, Winspear, Meyerson are where we go for fun!

Why they chose this property

We are ideal for those wanting to be out of the crowd but still close by all the action.

We provide overnight accommodations for up to 18 AND event services for 35-150 guests. With an event agreement you and your outside guests can have access to our 1600 sf air conditioned barn and our 1800 sf open-air pavilion. We rent tables, chairs, linens, and farm themed decor.

There are a number of wedding venues near and have found we are perfect for families needing accommodations plus a base for wedding operations! We see a lot of families putting their out of town wedding guests in the houses and then renting the barn for the rehearsal and dinner, or after wedding reunion.

What makes this property unique

Country and still close to everything! Modern home life in a rural setting.

Overnight accommodations for up to 18.

Complete event facilities for 35-150 guests.
