Overall, had a wonderful stay with my family. The house gives a warm and cozy atmosphere. There were plenty of towels and beds for everybody. The ice machine didn’t work but that was communicated by the host. The drinks included was a wonderful addition.

What a comfortable and warm place! Our host was most responsive to questions and issues before and after the stay. The house was in perfect condition. It was so nice to get into a house that literally felt like our family home after a long day of transcontinental travel. So much nicer than the nicest hotel room for sure. Everything was there that we might have needed and many nice surprises from the host when we arrived also.The location is perfect - close to the historic downtown New Bern .The house is located a house away from the freight train line and while some might find the active train a nuisance, we loved the horn and the sound and feel of the train going by! Our host was responsive to issues and questions we had and issues were fixed quickly. I wish continued success to our host and for sure will stay again if we get back to New Bern.

This house felt like a home away from home. The owners decorated so tastefully and the accommodations were thoughtful and appreciated. Everything was super clean and comfortable. The fence was completely secure so our 5lb dog was always safe. And we completely enjoyed the fire pit!

Wonderful weekend stay in New Bern! The house was very clean, smelled great, and had everything we needed and more! The coffee and wine bar was a pleasant surprise. The location was perfect for morning/evening walking. And to top it off, our host was very responsive and had great recommendations for things to do. Will be booking again for our annual trip!
