Ivy Cottage Collections, Inc.

The Ivy Cottage is a true gem whether you are looking for home decor or unique gift items. I was on a quest for wall art and accessories to add a punch of color and a decorator touch to my living and dining room. Lisa carefully listened to what I hoped to achieve, and immediately walked me through the store providing suggestions about what I could do to spiff up my current decor. I ended up purchasing some lovely wall art, pillows and a lamp, and I haven’t regretted a single purchase! Friends and family always compliment me on these new additions from the Ivy Cottage. My rooms have been transformed from so so to eye popping decor. Thank you, Lisa and associates for assisting me with this shopping experience!

I love the Cottage! It is my absolute Cary go to for beautifully curated home accessories, gifts & inspired interior design. Owner Lisa Allen is so talented and always offers unique items that separate this store from the others. Also, don't miss the Ivy Cottage's Holiday shopping event near Christmas.

Driving through this lovely town and the curb appeal of this darling store made it so that I just had to stop! Was I ever glad that I did! Ivy Cottage offers one of the most wonderful shopping experiences I have ever had. Their inventory is like none other, I was able to purchase the most unique and delightful gifts for my family and friends and to top it off the staff was incredible cheerful and helpful! This place is a must see!! If google allowed 10 stars I would have rated Ivy Cottage Collections a 10 for sure!! 🌟

Amazing customer service. Very unique store with a wide selection of beautiful items. They offer beautiful gift packaging. I will definitely be back. Really enjoyed my experience here! Extremely welcoming and friendly environment.

I am compelled to write this review because today is Small Business Saturday, and I typically buy Christmas gifts from the Ivy Cottage on this day. There is no question that the items are great and unique; however, the customer service, namely from the owner, is TERRIBLE. As someone else mentioned, I too had never been treated so rudely. I have shopped in expensive places in various parts of the US and abroad, and never have I had someone use such a horrible tone with me, especially when purchasing hundreds of dollars of merchandise from their boutique. It was very shocking as I had been there many times previously and the employees had been very courteous. What precipitated this ordeal? I asked politely if I could have one of the many tea lights that was on display in the store to accompany a beautiful angel candle that I had purchased. The associate was very nice and went to get the owner (Lisa, I believe...). She said no. I then explained that I was in a hurry and really needed the tea light to complete the gift ensemble that I was on my way to deliver. I then offered to pay an extra $5 for a less than $1 tea light! The owner went off about how she couldn't do it and was just ugly. I promise you, she would not have missed the one tealight! My mother uses the phrase, "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face", and I feel as if I may be doing just that, where I like the merchandise and this place was recommended by a wonderful neighbor who is no longer with us and going there brings back fond memories of her. However, I will not sacrifice my dignity or support anyone who demonstrates such a lack of respect for others. She's not perfect and may have had a bad day like many of us have had, but it must have been a VERY bad day because her attitude was deplorable.
