This property was so cozy and comfortable and offered all the necessities. It was very clean and the beds were so comfortable. It’s close to so many amenities in downtown Cary! Very convenient for walking! Perfect place to stay!
This home was perfect for our stay in Cary while attending my son's wedding. We invited our other son and family to stay with us. The proximity to the Cary park was terrific for my 6 yo grandson. In my opinion, the hosts thought of everything to make this house feel like you were home.
We loved the location of the Cary House. The house itself was perfect for our party of 4. We didn't do any cooking in the house because there were too many good restaurant options. The Keurig coffee option made our morning cup of joe quick and easy. We will definitely stay here again when we find ourselves back in Cary.
What a great house in a great location! We were able to walk to restaurants & bakeries and to Downtown Cary Park to see holiday lights. Plenty of room to spread out in the house. Lots of little touches were appreciated as was the off-street parking in the carport.
Home away from home! Such a comfortable stay in a super convenient location! The house is well equipped and had everything we were looking for. The hosts were great and had great communication prior to and during the stay. Highly recommend!
Great location in downtown Cary. Kitchen, living room, BBQ grill, bedrooms, and bathrooms are well equipped. We loved the baby chair for our infant. Parking was convenient. Carl was very quick to respond to our questions and a really great host.
We spent five nights at Carl and Louise’s house in Cary, and our family had a wonderful time. The home is spacious, comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed. The location in Cary was perfect—close to everything but still peaceful. Carl and Louise clearly take pride in their home, and it shows. We’d definitely stay here again!
Everything about our stay went well! The property was very clean, and had many small touches that made the stay more enjoyable. The hosts, Louise and Carl were very accommodating and helpful. I would definitely stay there again when in the area.
We lived everything about the house! Very comfortable and cozy. Fantastic location within walking distance of many restaurants and lovely park. Very easy drive to and from the airport and Lenovo center.One of the nicest places we have stayed!
The cottage is a great location in Cary that helped make our wedding week so much easier. Absolutely recommend the cottage to anyone staying in the area.

Thank you for staying with us! Please keep us in mind for any future travel!
Perfect location near Mayton Hotel which housed the wedding party and some of the events. It allowed our family of 5 to stay together yet have easy access to the venue. Also easy walking distance to park and downtown.
Loved everything about this place -- the home, the location, the owners nearby (in the back of the property)!
It was a great stay all the way around and we will be staying here any time we visit Cary in the future.
Very pleasant place. It was clean, complete and everything worked.
