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!

The cottage is in a fantastic location, within walking distance of so many great spots. We were in town for a soccer tournament and were pleasantly surprised by how charming Cary is. Visiting around Christmas made the experience even more special.The cottage itself was larger than expected, spotless, and exactly as described. Thoughtful touches throughout made it feel extra welcoming, including a personalized cookbook with the hosts’ favorite recipes. Thank you for a truly wonderful stay!

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.
