    The house provided the perfect setting for our adult family to come together from around the country/world. The house is as charming as the town and the location was ideal. Comfort, beauty, and well equipped. Quiet street yet walking distance to everything we might want. It was our second stay in the home and hopefully not our last.

    Beautiful historic home in downtown New Bern. We were surrounded by stunning paintings created by the host. It was the perfect location to enjoy all that the charming town of New Bern has to offer. Our host was very welcoming and accommodating. I highly recommend this VRBO!

    My husband and I visited New Bern to celebrate our anniversary. The home, location and town was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed being able to explore the town on foot and going for walks with our dog. Having an enclosed back yard and screened in porch met all our needs. Look forward to coming back!

    The location of this home was excellent to historic New Bern! The home has so much charming character. Every local we encountered was friendly & helpful. If you're looking to spend time in a very historic place, this should be on your list of places to visit & this home should be definitely considered. The host was very accommodating. Highly recommend.

    My husband and I plus our two found children had a wonderful stay at Kristine’s property. The house is in a great location, a short walk to downtown and right next to Tyron place. The house itself is beautifully decorated, including lots of stunning original artwork by the owner herself, we are looking forward to returning!

    First of all, this house has so much character. From the artwork to the historic ambience, this was such a welcoming and lovely home. We were in town for the Fun in the Sun car show which was held downtown and there was no need to drive anywhere with everything in such close proximity. The host made sure to check in on us after our arrival and made sure that we felt welcome. The neighbors were kind and provided excellent recommendations for first time visitors. This will not be my last trip to this beautiful city!

    There was plenty of room for those of us staying. It was nice having 2 sitting rooms to give the kids a little space of their own. It was perfectly located to everywhere we needed to be. Host was very accommodating, and very responsive.

    We were in town for my father’s memorial service. The location was exception- walking distance to downtown, places to eat and drink. The house was extremely comfortable, well appointed and comforting during an emotional weekend. The lovely setting and easy flow of the house allowed us to be together and be a respite for a difficult time. Highly recommend.

    The Smith House was a very cozy home and the owner was excellent with quick communications. I wish we had more time in the home to enjoy the various amenities like the screened in back porch, fireplaces and firepit. I would definitely recommend staying here!

    My husband, our 2 little schipperkes and I spent 4 days in this wonderful, charming house in New Bern. The location is easily walkable to downtown New Bern plus a wonderful little breakfast spot as well as a wine bar. Bed was comfortable and everything we needed was there! Thank you!
