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.

Clean and quiet
Exactly as stated in description. Owner came over and introduced herself shortly after we moved in. Great customer service as we had a minor problem with the TV. It was handled immediately by owners. Looking forward to coming back.
