McKinley House - Gym, Garage and Fenced Yard

McKinley House is a new way to stay. Our philosophy is simple--why pay for stuff you don't need? Like for space you won't use because there are just two of you? And how about deposits, linen charges or crazy cleaning fees? Isn't traveling expensive enough? We thought so too and designed our house to meet your needs--whatever they are. You always get a private stay in a place to call your own at a fair price. From one guest to seven guests, McKinley House expands to meet your needs.

Guest Stories

We really enjoyed our overnight stay. Perry was very quick to respond to questions asked. The house was very comfy for us all and loved the gym and sauna! Would definitely book again if we head to Amarillo.

We had a very pleasant experience at the McKinley House. Overall, 5 stars! Pros: The place is immaculately clean. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking (which we did for Thanksgiving). Also, appliances are in good working order; coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are free; an abundance of spices are provided; and snacks are available for a nominal fee. The furniture is comfortable and newer. The electronics are modern and in good working order. The dining table has seating for 6. The tablet computer near the front door for contacting the host and learning about the house and the local area was helpful and a nice touch. Cons: The only two cons were the long dry time for the clothes dryer and trouble regulating the temperature in the house. The dryer is a small front-loading dryer, which took over 2 hours to dry a small load of clothes. We ran across this same type of dryer in New Orleans at an airbnb rental, and critiqued it then; not as a complaint, but just to let others know. We also had difficulty adjusting the heating. The thermostat was intuitive enough, but we cranked it up to 74-75 during the day and were still cool (outside high temp was in the 50s), and adjusted it down to 71-72 because we got warm at night (outside low temp was in the 40s). Seems backward. Neutral: Knowing mattress comfort is a personal opinion, I'll put the mattresses in the neutral category. We all slept well (someone in every bed except the top bunk), but I found the king foam mattress a bit firm. All mattresses are newer and appeared to be high quality, though.

Super clean and comfy spot to lay over in Amarillo. Home was convenient to I-25 and services. We stayed in the master suite with its huge comfy bed and lovely sheets and our kids shared the bunk room comfortably. Yard was secure and fenced and the two dogs loved it! Coffee is supplied. Lots of snacks and other beverages for purchase on honor system.

This was a phenomenal experience with Airbnb and a host. I have stayed all over the country and various vacation rentals and Airbnb's and have had many fantastic hosts but Perry was absolutely wonderful and so was the house. The house is close to West Texas A&M University. My daughter graduated and I flew from Montana to see her walk across the stage – my brothers were able to come and we were all able to gather to have a small celebration that were in the parameters of the house rules. Perry was so great – and even included paperware so we had everything we needed to celebrate my daughter's great day. I cannot recommend this house enough. You will not go wrong staying here.
