Family Wedding in Cary/Apex Area

This was a perfect house and location to have our out-of-town guests stay for a family wedding. The house was immaculate and near all events in and around the Cary/Apex area. Walking distance to the new downtown Cary Park was an added benefit.

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.

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.

Lovely home in a great walking neighborhood.

The house has three lovely bedrooms and two great bathrooms. There is much to do within walking distance in the neighborhood. The sounds of birdsongs greeted me every morning. I had a delightful stay.

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.

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

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.

Highly Reommend

The Cary House is perfectly located, clean and comfortable. There are two separate living spaces which was great for those who wanted to watch TV and others who did not. Communication with owners was great and all our questions were answered. We definitely recommend!
