Discover Cary, N.C.
One of the fastest-growing cities in the South, Cary is home to renowned restaurants, world-class shopping, booming business, top-tier entertainment, culture and arts and a wide range of leisure and outdoor experiences. It’s no wonder that MONEY magazine has ranked Cary as one of the country’s “Best Places to Live.” Home of the USA Baseball National Training Complex, a hot spot for soccer with North Carolina Football Club and North Carolina Courage pro soccer teams at WakeMed Soccer Park and summer home of the North Carolina Symphony, Cary is located just 17 minutes from downtown Raleigh.
If you come hungry, you’re guaranteed to leave happy. Cary offers more than 200 dining options, including Master Baker Lionel Vatinet's La Farm Bakery, a modern-day boulangerie (bakery) with three locations across the town; and Pizzeria Faulisi, a Neapolitan-style pizza spot run by a renowned husband-and-wife chef team. The town is also at the forefront of the area's vibrant brewery scene. The award-winning Bond Brothers Beer Company is a microbrewery and taproom that specializes in kettle sours, IPAs and stouts, and Fortnight Brewing Company specializes in traditional English-style beers that incorporate both British and American ingredients.

About the host
Hosted by Simone Hayward
My family and I relocated to Cary from the UK 8 years ago, we love everything about the area and what North Carolina has to offer. Having lived in various countries, I understand the importance of making a house a home. Our guests staying at Cary Maple Retreat are met with a very warm welcome and home-away-from-home experience. It is my number one priority to ensure our guests enjoy their time at both our home and while in Cary, let me help you make the most out of your visit!
Why they chose this property
Cary has improved and developed so much over the past few years, especially the million dollar downtown park with many more fabulous bars and restaurants opening. The park is a beautiful place to stroll around, especially with your pup, and we love that the weekly Farmer's Market is held on E Park Street every Saturday morning, only a mere 10 min stroll from our home (Nov-Mar 9am-Noon, Apr-Oct 8am-Noon). We love both live music and sporting events, our home provides the perfect location to be able to enjoy these whether you're heading to watch your hockey team at the Lenovo Center or a concert. Our neighborhood is peaceful, friendly and within easy reach of everything you need in Cary/Raleigh.
What makes this property unique
Our home is all about location...location...location! In a beautiful peaceful neighborhood and only a quick stroll to downtown Cary where you'll discover fabulous dining and shopping. Our home offers all the necessities you need while traveling so you can just enjoy making more wonderful memories with your friends and family. Whether it's the large fenced-in yard for little ones and your pup to enjoy, overlooked by the deck with dining facilities and outdoor grill, or staying indoors in front of the cozy fireplace, you'll choose no other place to stay when you next visit Cary.
