The whole family loved staying at Sophie’s Cottage! Very comfortable for our group. Walkable distance to bakeries, delis, restaurants and downtown Cary park. Would love to come back to Cary and stay.
Staying at this house was just too lovely. The location is amazing, the house is has everything you need and is so beautiful. The hosts are so gracious. Loved it!
We really enjoyed our stay, although we were under the impression that the backyard was completely fenced in (we brought our little dog with us) - and it is not. Since the property is on a main road, we were concerned the dog would wander off to the front of the property and into the street. Also, we didn't realize how close to the road the property was. It was a bit too noisy to sit on the front porch - lots of traffic as W Chatham is a main road. We also didn't realize a train runs by very close to the property, as late as almost midnight. However, doesn't come through very frequently. The only other slightly negative aspect are the cars "backfiring" or racing loudly down the street. Thankfully, that didn't go on much past 11pm. We otherwise loved the house and the neighborhood -- very close to downtown businesses and Cary Park, which we adored. Plenty of restaurants nearby ( a couple of bakeries across the street and just down the road). House had all the amenities we needed (really nice appliances too), including a table and seating out back with a patio umbrella. We had family that lives in Raleigh drop in to visit and they enjoyed it too. We would come back!
We rented this home for family and friends visiting the area for my daughter’s wedding. Lisa is a great host and communicator. Checkin process is simple. Home was nicely decorated and nice renovated bathrooms. Everyone who stayed only said good things about the home. Would recommend home to others and book again. Thanks again Lisa.
