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!

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!
