Reviews frequently mention historic charm paired with modern comforts and tasteful decor. A well-equipped kitchen and stocked essentials make short stays simple, and many appreciated quiet nights.

The cottage was beautiful and perfect for a couple. Clean with all needed amenities. Fantastic book collection! Half a mile stroll to downtown restaurants and shops. Jessica and Matt were great hosts and were available if we needed anything.

We were staying overnight in New Bern on our way further south. The cottage was perfect for what we wanted. Right in town 5min walk to main center. Cottage has everything you will need (including a kitchen). Jessica was an excellent host, sent detailed instructions and even when we arrived a little earlier than the entry time she was very accommodating. Whether you are looking for a short or long term stay the cottage is perfect for 2 If we are back in the area we will rent again without hesitation

Really beautiful property in a great location. We never needed our car as we were able to walk to all the shops, restaurants and waterfront. The cottage was clean and well appointed with anything you need for a comfortable stay. It was also very quiet at night which made for a great night’s sleep. Communication with Jessica was great. Would absolutely stay here again.

This place is adorable!! Immaculate!! The bed and pillows are soooo comfy! They have a smart tv too, so you can use your own log-in credentials for apps that you may have, and they included a guest-log-in for their own personal Netflix account. Only complaint is that they only have 2 small refrigerators, and no ice maker (the ice trays do not fully freeze over just one night). So you would want to bring a cooler with ice if needed for your stay. Close enough to walk downtown for shopping, dining and breweries. Super friendly hosts, too!

We had a wonderful stay in this historic cottage. Located in the center of town with easy access to the invigorated New Bern downtown, the place is charming as can be. While historic in nature, everything about this place is modern on the inside. New, comfortable furnishings are everywhere. A bright, efficient kitchen is fully furnished. The place was spotless and comfortable. A great place to spend time if you are looking to enjoy historic New Bern.

Property owner was very kind and helpful in communication. The property is beautiful and very convenient to downtown. The history alone is worth the stay. Highly recommend.
