"BAMBOO COTTAGE" is a newly renovated 1940's cottage with lovely hand-crafted stained glass windows and wood floors. This cottage is very clean and comfortable, as are all of our cottages. It is located just minutes across the Neuse River from downtown historic New Bern. (This cottage is not located directly on the water but is only one house back and has water access.)
This charming 1400 square foot, two bedroom, two bathroom cottage has a large living/dining room, a large kitchen with all new cabinets and appliances, a screened porch, a sunroom and a large deck overlooking the "bamboo jungle" as Nick calls it. This comfy cottage has privacy and yet is close to everything.
New Bern is a beautiful, historic, small town. There are all of the historic sites, as well as, the natural beauty of the area. "BAMBOO COTTAGE" is just another perfect spot to enjoy them both. The cottage is located just one lot back from the Neuse River. Although it isn’t directly on the river, it has all of the advantages with water access at the end of the street. Our "BAMBOO COTTAGE" guests also have usage of a canoe, bikes, and kayaks.
Just across the river is the town itself with it’s many interesting destinations, including the Tryon Palace, museums, restaurants, and shopping. And if you would like to venture a little further, the ocean and beaches are less than an hour away, and the quaint waterfront towns of Beaufort and Morehead City are even closer. The Croatan National Forest is just outside of New Bern and offers hiking and nature observing.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
Nick and Missy moved to New Bern, NC in 1988. Nick was originally born in England and led a very interesting life in many different countries. Missy was born in Md but always loved the southeast. After graduating from the Univ. of MD in 1983 we moved to Florida together. In 1988 we decided to sell everything and live on our sailboat, cruise the Bahamas and Florida, and then cruise up the East Coast. We got to NC and haven't left.
Why the Owner Chose New Bern
We live in New Bern and saw that it had so much to offer visitors. There were hotels in the area but very very few vacation rentals. We prefer to stay in a home when we travel and so assumed others would as well. So we bought and renovated Bamboo Cottage in 2006. And our wonderful guests have loved it here as much as we have!
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
The Bamboo Ctg. is not directly on the water but has a water access just at the end of the street. There is swimming, fishing, crabbing, shark tooth hunting, canoeing and kayaking (we have boats for our guests), biking (we also have bikes).). Nick is also a charter captain and loves taking guests out on our 24' boat "Shallow Minded".

If you are looking for a place to stay in the area, look no further! We have stayed at the BAMBOO COTTAGE multiple times & have been delighted. It has everything you need, including a washer and dryer. The kitchen makes it very easy to prepare a meal ... and the porch swing is highly recommended to sip your morning coffee =) Lastly, the owners were very accomodating in giving us access to the propery since were arrived after hours. Again, if you looking for a place in the area ... look no further!

Charming cottage

The first sight are the gorgeous floors. I stayed for a month during an unexpected heat wave during May and June and was comfortable even when the air conditioner shut down for a few hours one day (rolling blackouts) There are ceiling fans in living room, dining room, kitchen, and both bedrooms so I was always comfortable. The owners were very quick to respond... even when I forgot trash day...they collected it all and took it away for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, though being there 4 weeks meant I would have enjoyed a larger TV, but I survived. My 3G worked brilliantly there. The cottage is literally minutes from downtown New Bern and a couple minutes more to the major shopping. I was visiting family and house hunting. Bamboo Cottage was the perfect location to visit Havelock and explore the surrounding area. I appreciate the hospitality and good humor of the owners. It made my stay a delight.
Owner response:So glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope you'll come again.

We really enjoy the Banboo Cottage, gave my son -that is in the Marines- a relax feeling just like he was at home. It is quiet, nice, clean and with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. We recomend for any family that would like to have a home away from home. Glenn & Julia
Owner response:Thanks Glenn & Julia! It was so nice to meet you. Hope you'll come again soon, Missy & Nick

Thanks so much for sharing the "Bamboo Cottage" with us...what a charming, cozy, way to spend our time in the New Bern area. We were able to shop, dine, and visit area landmarks knowing that at the end of the day we could return to relax in a warm and homey atmosphere. We highly recommend the Baker's Square in historic New Bern. Their clam chowder is wonderful and if you're looking for a fun day trip - Ft. Macon is great. Thank you again for your hospitality!

What a great cottage and town. We used this as a weekend get-away for a mother and her three daughters. We enjoyed the convenience of a house and amenities. The town of New Bern is quaint and beautiful. There were enough shops to keep us all happy. The Palace houses and gardens were a treat. And don't forget to visit Aurora for the fossil museum and fossils. Hint - go to the PCS parking lot on 306 - look in the dirt piles around the lot. We collected 100 shark's teeth in 2 hours. Thanks, Melissa, Nick and Zak, for sharing your cottage with us.

We were so fortunate to be able to rent this wonderful cottage the weekend of the MS bike ride in New Bern. The ride was great and the cottage was perfect to come back and relax in. With everyone complaining about lodging problems for the weekend, we almost felt guilty to have this place to ourselves. Hope to be back this time next year and make it a tradiition. Everything was beautiful and very accomodating!
