Other things to note
Welcome to The McKinzie. In 2021, my husband and I poured our life savings in renovating this amazing historic building. This has been a labor of love for our whole family and our friends. We hope you fall in love with it like we did. The only thing we ask is that if you have any problems or need anything, please call us immediately so we can take care of any issues or concerns. We hope you feel the joy in the details as much as we did putting them together just for you.
Reminder: This property is located above a restaurant and event venue.
