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!

Great location in Cary! Perfect for a small family.

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!

December stay

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.
