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!

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.

Beautiful, quiet, comfy, and clean! The hosts were extremely responsive to my text messages, but also gave me privacy for my stay once they answered my questions. Kitchen was well stocked, bed was very comfortable. I was traveling alone so safety is a priority, and i felt very safe in this cottage. You will love being here; I didn't want to leave!

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.
