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!

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.

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!

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.

The house itself was laid out very well, and my group appreciated that it had adult beds in every room. The kitchen was a nice size and decently equipped, although there was some kind of decoration on every counter, which did take up a lot of counter space. There were a lot of throw pillows on all the beds and couches, which made it a little awkward when trying to relax, as the only place to put them was the floor. We had a great time, but the house is VERY close to train tracks and a switchyard. We stayed 5 nights, and were woken up by trains at around 4:30 am on 2 of those nights. It didn't ruin our trip as we were mostly able to go back to sleep, but it definitely made for a couple of rough mornings. Lastly, there were lots of rugs that were not stuck down very well. We slipped on them so much the first night that we ended up taking a lot of them off the floor while we were staying there. Overall, there were some negatives, but the house felt very welcoming and inviting. It was also very close to downtown New Bern and the convention center, which was perfect for us.
