Everything we were promised, and more!
Lovely quaint property, located very close to Downtown Cary Park! We were allowed check-in an hour early, and the space contained every amenity we could think of. This trip was meant to be budget friendly so the cooking utensils were very much appreciated. If we return to NC this is our ideal rental :)

We love staying here!
This is the second time my teenage son and I have stayed at the cottage while visiting the area. Everything is as described. We enjoy walking into downtown for shopping and dining. It is a quick drive to visit Duke and UNC (college visits). We are a little sad we might not be back next year but will definitely be back another time Maybe my husband and I will snow bird there for an extended stay sometime. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend the Cary Cottage
We were very happy with our stay at the Cary Cottage. Louise & Carl are wonderful hosts. The cottage is just as described, nestled in Downtown Cary. The new Cary City Park and library are just around the corner. The area is walkable with lots of shops and restaurants around. The cottage feels cozy and has more amenities than we could avail ourselves to. We enjoyed watching some Netflix and thumbed through the wide range of DVDs in the entertainment center. The kitchen is well appointed with pots, pans, a crockpot and a wide variety of spices. Louise & Carl even have their own cookbook to inspire your cooking. The grill is just outside on the patio. The cottage was spotless and organized. The owners live on the property and Louise stopped by with a warm welcome and offer to share information about the house and the surrounding area. We plan to stay here again on future trips to the Raleigh area.

Visiting our daughter
Louise and Carl’s cottage was perfect in every way! We were able to easily visit with our daughter living nearby as well as walk to restaurants and coffee shops. The cottage was warm and cozy given the unseasonably cold temps and the kitchen was fully equipped for all needs. Thank you for the coffee, half & half and gift basket. We loved all the reading material and maps of Cary and surrounding areas. We definitely will come back! Thank you.

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

Drove from Buffalo, New York to Cary to visit with family in the area. Louise was there to greet me upon arrival. What a wonderful cottage! It was immaculate and had everything I could need. Great location, also! Just a short walk to downtown Cary and all the wonderful restaurants and shops. Definitely hope to stay at the Cary Cottage, again. Thank you, Carl and Loise!
