Historic Thomas McLin House Downtown, 2 blocks from Tryon Palace

The Thomas McLin House.

A prominent local Coppersmith and merchant built this home for his daughter in 1822. While visiting New Bern stay in this historic 2 story federal style Apartment.

During the Great Fire of New Bern in 1922 the roof burnt, however the home was luckily able to be repaired and expanded in the federal style as two townhouse style apartments, as it remains today. The heart pine wood flooring outlines the original 1822 floor plan, while the 1922 upstairs addition constructed after the devastating great fire has southern yellow pine wood flooring. The original 1822 fireplace mantel remains, and the antique light fixtures make you feel as though you’ve been transported back in time.

You will be located within a short walk to many amentities such as shopping, restrauants, museums, and marinas. We are located 2 blocks from the historic Tryon Palace main gate and a couple more blocks from the NC History Museum. Whether you are touring the historical streets and sites of one of North Carolina’s colonial capitals or enjoying the neighborhood coffee shop, hunting for treasures at one of the many antique shops, taking a day trip to the beach, exploring coastal Carolina, or enjoying the micro-brewery a few blocks away, this is a convenient and great location to call home while you are visiting.

Welcome.




* Security cameras monitor both the front and back exterior entrances. *

Super close to Tryon Palace

Beautiful, clean home within walking distance to Tryon, shops, restaurants, etc. We also went on a ghost walk and did the trolley history tour...all within walking distance of the house. The house is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would definitely return to New Bern and book this lovely house again.

Enjoyed staying in a historic home in a walkable historic neighborhood. The home was comfortable and well equipped. Enjoy the ambiance of an older home but be aware that the stairway to the second floor was long. We enjoyed our stay and wished we had a longer visit.

Magical Town

This property gave us the historical feel of this incredible small town. It was perfectly located for walks throughout the town. We walked to the river walk, Union Point Park, the 911 Memorial Service at the Fire Dept. Museum, to the Historic Trolley Tour, the Birthplace of Pepsi shop, Mitchell’s Hardware, Franklin’s Antiques, Morgan’s restaurant, Tyron Palace, and every block of beautiful historic houses! The people we met were so welcoming and helpful! We loved our time in New Bern! It’s a magical town! Antiques,

Visiting family in New Bern

We went to New Bern to visit (and meet) our newest grandchild! My daughter and her family live in the marina, so we needed a nice, close place to sit and visit. The house was lovely. Very spacious and so pleasant. The bedrooms are especially nice. It was a nice touch to have some puzzles for the 5 year old to play with. We would definitely stay again!

Overall stay was good, the property was as described. The location was great for walking and the neighbors were friendly. The only negative is the house had only one television and it was downstairs. Would have been nice to have televisions in the bedrooms.
