We enjoyed our weekend stay at the cottage. Great location for walking to shops and restaurants. We loved the historical aspect of the cottage. The living room was spacious and had a nice collection of books. We loved that coffee pods and creamers were stocked in the kitchen. We had a great time in New Bern and saw the train! Thanks Jessica and Matt!Keith and Mary

We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage! It was beautifully appointed, and the location was perfect. We could take in the sites and the architecture of the historic homes as we walked to shopping, dining, and activities. Our host, Jessica, was so helpful and attentive, and all communication (from booking to checkout) was quick and easy. We would highly recommend this property and will definitely stay here again when we return to New Bern.

Our favorite place to stay in New Bern. A little “home away from home”. Great location to downtown- very walkable area. Clean and terrific amenities in the kitchen. Very accommodating host.

Everything at the cottage was wonderful. Very comfortable with all the essentials. The location is also wonderful. Close to downtown, but far enough away so that you have peace and quiet at the cottage. Simply perfect for a couples getaway.

This is the perfect spot to stay if you want to tour New Bern by foot. Close enough to everything but also private. The cottage is historic so it has that feel but everything was immaculately clean.
