Girls’ get away
The Blue Cactus was perfect for our eight friends’ get away!! Plenty of space to visit and just hang out! Perfect location to lots of fun shopping and restaurants. The owners were quick to respond when inquiries were made for more towels. Suggestions for a mirror in each room and a few more chairs in the living area. It was wonderful!!

Family Staycation
We enjoyed a 2-night stay at The Blue Cactus and had a fabulous family- sisters/cousins weekend. The house is decorated with an adorable farmhouse vibe exactly as the photos highlight. So much space for 10 of us....mostly adults with 3 kids. Very close to downtown Mckinney square. Perfect for our family staycation playing games and reconnecting. Exceeded our expectations!
