About this property

Walkable to Downtown!

Experience the historic charm of downtown New Bern from this 2 bedroom 1940's renovated cottage walkable to Tryon Palace and everything downtown New Bern has to offer! Two marked parking spots available onsite with free overflow parking available on Queen St.

Welcome to our charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage walkable to downtown New Bern. Onsite parking is limited. The 4 marked parking spaces in the driveway are shared by the two homes in the back. Please limit parking to two cars in marked spaces. Overflow parking is available around the corner on Queen Street by the beautiful Cedar Grove Cemetery.

Our house is located in a vibrant, historic area with a lot of character. One of our neighboring properties is currently unoccupied and awaiting some TLC, adding to the unique, eclectic atmosphere of the neighborhood. While it may appear a bit rough around the edges, rest assured our home is well-maintained and fully equipped to provide you with a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

PARKING
Guest parking spots are marked on the driveway. Please limit cars in marked spots to two vehicles, as these four spots are shared by both back houses. Overflow parking is available on Queen Street in front of Cedar Grove Cemetery. DO NOT PARK IN UNMARKED AREAS AS YOU WILL BLOCK THE NEIGHBORS! The neighbors are permanent residents and we aim to not make daily life hard for them!

Very Nice Place with a Couple of Caveats to be Aware Of
The inside of this place was very clean, neat and well stocked. We had a very comfortable stay but I want people to know that the neighborhood is so-so. The good news is that it is right across from the police station, but also next door to an abandoned building and the house in front of this cottage had bats flying in and out. The other thing some folks would want to know is that there are two bathrooms but they are both upstairs - steep, wooden stairs. Anyone with mobility issues might find this a problem. All in all, we had a good stay, I just want people to know about these issues. PS While the immediate neighborhood isn't great, it very quickly gets better and is very convenient to the main town center - very easy to walk, and we never felt uncomfortable.

Lovely bungalow
Nice place, good location, walkability, and had all that we needed. FYI- if you have bad knees or mobility issues the steps are steep and both bathrooms are on 2nd floor. All-in-all great place. Would recommend.

We were able to work to town to take the Trolley Tour, to go shopping, and to go to dinner. House was clean. Used the grill outside on the patio and ate our dinner there as well.
