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 :)
