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.

Favorite spot

The Cary House has been our favorite when we come to NC to visit our daughter at college. This time we were in town to care for her after a minor surgery and The Cary House is a haven. Home away from home, the perfect place to rest, relax and recover. Perfection!

Home again

This is our second time to Cary House. It’s like coming to your favorite place. The house is perfect for enjoying and meeting with friends. The location is perfect because you don’t need a car if you like to walk around and discover the feel of the city of Cary. The new park was delightful. And the weather was perfect at this time.

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!

Quiet, peaceful, comfortable, with everything you want in a home away from home.

Well equipped, in a very quiet neighborhood, short walking distance to downtown. No slamming doors, no car noise, you can hear the birds sing. AND you are given a fabulous gift to take home, from the owners that will keep the “Cary House” forever on your mind. Lillian

Cutest Cottage!

Located on a beautiful street with a lovely front window view. The entrance in the back, covered parking area and cozy outside sitting area made it feel like home. There is plenty of space to spread out in the two living areas, as well as a nicely placed dining room. The beds were SO comfortable and the kitchen had every single item I looked for. The most notable part of this property is the cleanliness. It was spotless and well taken care of. Oh, and every detail was thought of for visitors. I honestly felt like these owners have the template for a perfect rental! My daughter is moving to Cary for a new job and this was our house scouting trip and I’m already thinking about visiting and renting here again.

Simply lovely!

This lovely house is the perfect home away from home. We spent much of our time in the sun room with the window shades open to the beauty of shrubbery, flowers, birds, squirrels, etc. The living room was cozy and provided the additional space needed when my family gathered together. The hosts are warm, inviting people and responded quickly to texts sent to them. Shops, parks, and library, all close by. We loved our short stay there.

The house is located a short block from the historic district in downtown Cary with its great selection of shops, eateries and bars in a quintessential setting.
