    Cary Cottage models what a welcoming elegant BnB can be. All of the welcoming touches - especially regarding coffee, snacks, personally created cookbook, cleanliness feel like coming home to a favorite relatives place. In addition the neighborhood’s trees and walkability add to its appeal. Many local restaurants are nearby. ( I recommend Pro’s Epicurean.) Parking is so convenient as well. A Top notchy are place to stay! We hope to return

    I liked the full kitchen and laundry inside the building, the updated re-modelling and the cleanliness of the Cary Cottage. The convenience of a short commute to my destinations and the nearness to amenities was plus.

    Spent 4 nights at this very comfortable cottage. I would describe it as cute, cozy, and comfortable. The hosts live on the property in case you need anything but are unobtrusive. Loved the booklet of their favorite recipes in addition to their restaurant guide. Location is very walkable to downtown Cary. Would stay there again if in the area.

    The Cary Cottage was the perfect Vrbo for our little family. The location was ideal for walking downtown to restaurants, the shops, and the park. The house was very clean and the bed was comfortable. They even had a pack n’ play for our little one. They included a helpful town map, restaurant list, and an event schedule. We thoroughly enjoyed the house and the town of Cary. We would definitely stay here again!

    We’ve stayed here several times and have enjoyed each stay. The house is very clean and so welcoming. The kitchen has everything you would need. We liked that we could grill! The owners have been so responsive, not that we’ve had any issues but whenever we had a question the response was immediate. We visit our son who lives in a small apartment nearby and we call this our home away from home. Yes, it’s that good. Very close to walk downtown Cary with its beautiful park and many restaurants.

    The Cary Cottage is, in a word, cozy. The gracious and easily available hosts have thoughtfully supplied the kitchen with cooking utensils, pots, pans assorted glasses basic spices and welcome snacks. The bedroom is warm and beautifully decorated in a green motif. The bed and linens are very comfortable and sumptuous. This cottage is a home where we could easily live for a long time.

    The cottage is in a fantastic location, within walking distance of so many great spots. We were in town for a soccer tournament and were pleasantly surprised by how charming Cary is. Visiting around Christmas made the experience even more special.The cottage itself was larger than expected, spotless, and exactly as described. Thoughtful touches throughout made it feel extra welcoming, including a personalized cookbook with the hosts’ favorite recipes. Thank you for a truly wonderful stay!

    This vacation rental was absolutely amazing. The location, the cottage and the hosts were everything that we could have hoped for. The cottage was perfect for my wife and I and we even got to host a thanksgiving dinner for our son and daughter in law as they will not be able to join us for the actual holiday. It had everything that you could need and it was immaculate. We already booked it for a return visit. Thank you Carl and Louise.

    My friend from out of town & I had a wonderful time touring all the new things that have happened in Cary since she moved away & the Cary Cottage was the absolute perfect place to stay. It's within a short walking distance to anything you may want to see in downtown Cary. The hosts made sure that you wanted for nothing while you were there. The Cottage is beautiful inside & so very clean & welcoming. I would whole heartedly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a lovely place to stay while in Cary, NC!

    My wife and 2 year old baby stayed for 13 nights! We picked the perfect place staying here! Downtown Cary was right behind the property so we could easily walk to the park. Plenty of places to eat and the parking is easily accessible. The cottage was the perfect size for a family of 3. Very clean and it was stocked with everything we needed for our stay which really helped not having to shop immediately upon arriving. We honestly couldn't have picked a better place and will definitely be returning!

    We stay at this property every year. We chose it initially because of the location. Close to our daughter and downtown Cary. We continue to come because of that, but also because the property is well kept up and clean. Its perfect for us. Big enough for us to have our daughter and her girls in for breakfast, and just right for my husband and me to be alone.
