    The house was so charming and kept its history alive in so many ways! The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked, more than you could even need! It was very clean and very comfortable. Right in the heart of downtown too! We had a wonderful time. The host was quick to respond to questions and offered a book with suggestions on things to do. Thanks so much for making our stay so special.

    We enjoyed our stay so much. The hosts were most accommodating and checked with us throughout our stay to make sure that all was well. This home is cozy, charming and within walking distance of Tryon Palace, New Bern Trolley stop, historic homes, museums, shops and restaurants. The perfect home away from home. Very pet friendly and accommodating with everything you could imagine to keep your pet comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful experience and great memories to take home with us.

    This place is a gem. All the rooms were immaculately clean and sparkling. I had seamless connectivity with the Wi-Fi. The bed was so comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything and more. The host was remarkably responsive and accommodating. Everything is within walking distance; didn't need my car at all during those three days. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

    This property has everything we wanted in a home. Private entrance, enclosed backyard for our frenchie, patio area with grill. The inside is roomy, beautifully decorated and the bed is very comfortable. Washer, dryer, dishwasher….the list goes on and on. Walking distance to the palace, gift shops, eateries. Walks along the boardwalk is so relaxing and picturesque. Will definitely come back again. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

    Miraculous renovation of this 1769 cottage adds modern amenities while maintaining historic vibe. Extremely thoughtful design - you'll want for nothing. Everything is super clean and in like new condition. Hosts super responsive. Only a couple blocks from Tryon Palace and 5 block walk to river or shopping along historic street. Coffee shop, wine bar, and soul food take out sll within two blocks. Out preferred accommodation for future trips to New Bern.

    The house is perfect for a couple or small family. Amenities are great and the house is in excellent condition. It was everything we were looking for...walkable to downtown and fenced in yard for fur babies. Coffee shop and great restaurant a block away. Would definitely stay here again.

    This restored cottage is very well restored and more importantly while maintaining charm, is modern in execution. Very walkable neighborhood and close to downtown. I parked my car and did not need to use it again until I left. The home is as described and all amenities worked well. The owner is vey easy to work with and welcoming.

    First, the home was just as described and it is easy to understand why it has received high reviews from other guests. We can confirm and echo the ????? for this property. Next, it was our 1st trip to New Bern. If you have not visited, give it a try. It is a historical city with a lot of great restaurants and breweries. And now you know where to stay.
