BBQ instructions

I hope you are as excited about this BBQ as I am. If you just need to cook some hotdogs and hamburgers, use the gas grill on the right side. But if you are true Grill master,
Please enjoy the smoky flavor of the wood pellet grill on the left.
Please be a responsible griller and clean the grill when you’re finished.
We keep a bin of wood pellets in the play room. If the bin is empty you can purchase more pellets at Lowes or Walmart.
I have attached the instructions. Please read thru to familiarize yourself with the grill.

    Fabulous place to relax and enjoy the scenery. The sunrise each day was totally amazing and with that came all kinds of birds, ducks, seagulls, you name it! If you love bird watching you will love it here. Lots of fun things to do if you have kids who get bored easily. Everything was perfect, we would definitely stay here again if only we lived a shorter distance away!

    The house was so well equipped, and so well taken care of we’ve really felt at home! The hosts were so responsive to every little question I had before our trip, and even when we had to contact them over a very small issue, it was remedied within two hours. We hope to visit again. It truly is a little piece of heaven.

    Beautiful house and property, right on the Neuse River. Lots of space for six of us, every amenity provided. Loved the coffee bar, hot tub, game room, and ability to spread out and grab a quiet spot for R and R. Extremely convenient to the Maola at Riverside (wedding/event venue)....we were able to walk from the house to the venue.Dog park within easy walking distance as well...and even into town (one mile)...Would definitely book again the next time in town to visit family..Very easy check in/out and communication with David...

    Beautiful house, with a gorgeous view! We were a group of 5 in town for Distinctly Bronze East. This house is only about 5 minutes from the convention center, which gave us more time to relax. We stayed in one night to cook dinner and enjoy the hot tub after a long day of practice. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the beds were comfortable. Also, I can't say this enough - Incredible view! We're looking forward to hopefully having this place again next year, as it was absolutely perfect for us.

    The house and property are lovely. Very convenient to shopping and restaurants. Loved the wonderful view of the river from both inside the house and by the dock. Our trip was a girls play date and therapy session. The Golden girls loved every minute of this vacation.

    We like to stay at this lovely property when visiting my parents who live in New Bern. The kids are always excited to return as they love the bunk room, the play space in the garage and the backyard. My husband and I love waking up and enjoying our coffee with beautiful panoramic views of the water. Always a joy to return to this special place!
