The house was perfect, so cute, & we loved the layout. We enjoyed watching Indiana win the Championship in the family room, so comfy! The house is well stocked, & the coffee station is great. We wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Great Stay

We loved staying in this cozy little home. We especially loved the large family/TV room in the back, the size of the yard where my son and I enjoyed tossing around the football, and the fire pit in the backyard. There were plenty of games to keep the kids entertained. We would definitely love to stay here again in the future!

This property was absolutely perfect for our trip to New Bern. We were less than 10 minutes from downtown. The house had everything you could possibly need for a quick trip or a long stay. Check-in was a breeze, the property was clean and organized, and there was plenty of room for us to lounge around. We all agreed that we had wished we could stay longer. I would absolutely stay here again the next time I go to New Bern.

This house was perfect for our trip to New Bern. We had 6 staying at the house and then family nearby coming in to visit and have dinner (able to have a Thanksgiving dinner!). Awesome space to accommodate us…and the kitchen is fully equipped. The backyard games are fun; parking was readily available. Good location- grocery stores 2 miles away. And Amanda is a lovely host…left a bowl of snacks and a well stocked coffee bar.

For Wedding Weekend

My now husband and I were in a serious and last minute search for a place to accommodate for our wedding weekend last weekend and Amanda was more than helpful! The home was so put together and clean and definitely such a cute and convenient location for what we needed. As New Bern locals, we definitely loved this home away from home!

We loved staying at this house! The neighborhood is quiet. The house is very clean and comfortable. It was super easy to find everything we needed in the kitchen because the drawers and cabinets were labeled. We didn't have time to use the backyard fire pit but that would be great to use in the fall or winter. The owner was very responsive to any questions I had.
