What a great house in a great location! We were able to walk to restaurants & bakeries and to Downtown Cary Park to see holiday lights. Plenty of room to spread out in the house. Lots of little touches were appreciated as was the off-street parking in the carport.

We spent 3 days at the Cary House in preparation for my son's downtown wedding in Raleigh. Everything was clean and well-stocked; we needed nothing at all and what was provided (toiletries, snacks, etc) went beyond expectations. The outdoor area is fairly secluded from the main house. The location can't be beat - a few short, walkable blocks from downtown Cary and the fabulous new city park which was recently completed. Highly recommend having a drink and watching the dogs play at the Bark Bar! A wonderful stay and would definitely rent again!

We spent five nights at Carl and Louise’s house in Cary, and our family had a wonderful time. The home is spacious, comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed. The location in Cary was perfect—close to everything but still peaceful. Carl and Louise clearly take pride in their home, and it shows. We’d definitely stay here again!

Beautiful property. The cutest little downtown area I have ever seen and the home is so spacious and well kept. We enjoyed being in walking distance of all the downtown attractions and restaurants. You can tell by the special touches the owner really loves what they do. We would have never found all the amazing restaurants that were provided in the welcome information. 10/10 recommend.

Cary for a Wedding

The Cary House was PERFECT for our family of 5 in town for a family wedding. EASY walk to the downtown area and Cary Park. Plenty of places to eat and imbibe if one so chooses. Very easy access to downtown Raleigh should you need it. The house is immaculate and very well appointed. I will definitely try to stay here again should we visit the Carey/ Raleigh area.

Lovely property and town

We enjoyed the town of Cary and our stay at this property. The home had all we needed for our trip and location worked out very well. Easy access to airport, Raleigh, restaurants, etc. The hosts were easy to communicate with and available should a need arise. We couldn't have asked for more. We use VRBO regularly and rank this home highly among the various places we have stayed.

Perfect! Just what we needed!

Thanks for providing such a wonderful home where we could comfortably stay while hosting our granddaughters for special “me” time visits! They took turns staying in the “circle bedspread” room, and they loved sitting at the head of the dining table where they could watch the birds, squirrels, bunnies, and dog walkers. The sunroom was a perfect play area after time spent at Cary Park or the library. We’ll be back!
