Lovin' the Cary Cottage

Drove from Buffalo, New York to Cary to visit with family in the area. Louise was there to greet me upon arrival. What a wonderful cottage! It was immaculate and had everything I could need. Great location, also! Just a short walk to downtown Cary and all the wonderful restaurants and shops. Definitely hope to stay at the Cary Cottage, again. Thank you, Carl and Loise!
