From the minute we arrived in New Bern to the time we left, we had a lovely time. The Riverside Retreat had everything we needed and was a complete delight. We rode our bicycles into town to enjoy the food, beer and shopping. We even took a sunset cruise on the Trent river. We can’t wait to come back!

Owner's Response:

Michelle and her friend were the perfect guests. They really enjoyed their stay and all that my home and my little city had to offer! They were clean and neat and very respectful! A++ guests! Hope they will visit again!

What a wonderful home to experience New Bern from!

This home is so inviting and comfortable! Tamara has spent so much time decorating with beautiful antiques mixed with modern comforts! Spent a week there and constantly found little touches i hadn’t noticed before! And the front porch is the bomb!!! We will be back!!!

Owner's Response:

Sherri and Terry were fabulous guests. They really enjoyed the home and were respectful of the space. They even started a Pay it Forward wine share for my future guests that has been very well received. I look forward to hosting them again! 5 Star Guests!!!

Great home, nicely decorated!

We loved staying here. All the comforts of home. Tamara' home was very clean and she paid meticulous attention to accommodate our stay. From the kitchen utensils to extra towels and anything you needed you felt like you were home. Would definitely stay here again.

Charm filled, bright and super comfortable with lovely front porch ...

We loved staying here. It was our first time to the New Bern area. I had read that New Bern is a charming little town and found that to be true. Staying in Tamara’s house while there made it so much more so! We had rainy weather while there so we were very thankful for the lovely porch to spend time on reading and talking, drinking our coffee in the am etc. We did get to make use of the bikes one afternoon and wish we could have done more of that. The beauty of the old houses and atmosphere is absolutely easier taken in while biking or walking. There are kayaks to use also but the weather didn’t cooperate for that. We had everything we needed and more at the house. Everything was so fresh and clean! We recommend Tamara’s house for your stay for sure!

Great Stay! Everything as Adverised

We stayed a week at Tamara's cottage in July and felt completely at home. It Was great coming home at the end of the day of house hunting to a full kitchen and room to spread out. The bed was great to sleep in. The front porch was so peaceful with our morning coffee..that it was to hard to get going and get on our way some mornings. Hope to return soon.

We just love visiting this cute and comfy place!!

This is our second time staying here. Each time we have been very happy with the cleanliness and comfortable place it is.

From the farm fresh eggs, fresh flowers, banana bread to how clean abs fresh everything is. We came this time to find a new home and Tamara was helpful in getting us a realtor even.

We will now be coming back to live next time and are excited to start a fresh chapter in our lives.

We truly enjoyed time on the front porch too. Within a short distance to town, it is nice to bike or drive. We highly recommend this place.
