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!

Wonderful stay + exceeded expectations
What a wonderful stay we had at The Cary House! Every detail is considered making it a comfortable, easy and relaxing stay! The home is perfectly outfitted with everything you would need (and more). The hosts (Carl and Louise) are thoughtful and so helpful. Also, the location couldn’t be better. Looking forward to our next stay.

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.

Picture Perfect!
We are repeat guests due to the wonderful property and wonderful owners who are thoughtful with great attention to detail and immaculate cleansing practices. House is comfortable, exactly as pictured, with a well appointed kitchen ready for any sort of meal preparation. 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. Quick ride from the airport and easy access to all that Raleigh has to offer.

Wonderful house and location!
We stayed here for our daughter's wedding at the Matthew House. It was really perfect for us! We loved being so close to the venue and within an easy walk to downtown restaurants. We especially loved the sunroom area which was a spacious hang-out area. We would highly recommend for anyone visiting Cary.

Great location. Short walking distance from downtown Cary. In the same neighborhood I lived in for 30 years before moving in 2021. It felt like home! Great house. I told my Wife that the hardwood floors must have come from the same tree as the ones in my former house down the street! Host was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again next visit,

Just around the corner from the historic downtown district in Cary with cute shops and eateries, this property is a perfect home base. Onsite owners are amazing hosts who offer well thought out and extremely clean surroundings.
