The Cary Retreat • Luxury Cottage in the Heart of Downtown Cary

Welcome to The Cary Retreat, a beautifully appointed luxury one-bedroom guest cottage offering the perfect combination of privacy, comfort, and an unbeatable location in the heart of downtown Cary.
Professionally hosted by experienced Superhosts, we're committed to providing exceptional hospitality, outstanding communication, and a genuine five-star guest experience. We take pride in offering exceptionally clean accommodations, thoughtful amenities, and meticulous attention to detail so you can relax and enjoy your stay with complete confidence.
Unlike many vacation rentals, The Cary Retreat is a completely private guest cottage with no shared living spaces. You'll have exclusive use of the entire home, your own private outdoor living areas, and three dedicated off-street parking spaces.
Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, you're just one block (about a five-minute walk) from the award-winning Downtown Cary Park, as well as the Cary Arts Center, locally owned restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, boutiques, entertainment venues, and seasonal festivals. Once you arrive, you can park your car and experience the best of downtown Cary on foot.
Relax in Comfort
Designed on a single level (with only four steps leading to the covered front porch), The Cary Retreat is ideal for couples, business travelers, extended stays, and anyone looking for a peaceful home away from home.
The welcoming living room is the perfect place to unwind after a day of sightseeing or business. Enjoy the 65-inch Smart TV with complimentary Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube TV, offering endless entertainment for relaxing evenings.
The spacious bedroom features a luxurious king-size bed, premium linens, a ceiling fan, a large walk-in closet, and a dedicated workspace with both high-speed Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet, making remote work as comfortable as it is reliable.
The spa-inspired bathroom includes a double vanity, an oversized walk-in shower with a built-in seat and handheld shower wand, plush towels, and generous counter space.
