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.
Such a beautiful outdoor space, fenced in with a great area for your fur babies.
Beautiful corner lot with brick wall and picket fence for privacy. Gated driveway for off street parking.
Beautiful historic home. Easy access to downtown.
Comfy cozy bedding make you want to stay more than awhile.
