Margot, thank you so much for staying with us and for the kind review. We hope to see you at Coor-Bishop Dependency on your next visit to New Bern. Look for us in Edenton!
We booked this stay for our elderly parents, while the stairs were a challenge, they were manageable. Spacious bedrooms and cozy common areas in this 1810 guest cottage. Hosts were readily available and prompt to respond to requests. At our parents request, we would definitely book again next time they visit.
House was perfect in many way... size, location, comfort, amenities, safety, convenience. Truly enjoyed staying and hope to be back. Felt like home away from home but better!
Perfect stay in a lovely historical home in walkable New Bern. It was a great location and lovely home with thoughtful amenities. 5 stars out of 5 - will definitely come back! Hosts were attentive!

We loved our stay in historic New Bern. The house is walking distance to the downtown area and steps away from the water. We would absolutely stay again.

The home was in a great area - near the river and downtown New Bern. We loved the place. The decor is very nice; there were plenty of amenities in the bath and kitchen; and the owners, who live next door, are super.

This property is always a great place to stay. Not only are we close to the waterfront we get to be Just in downtown New Bern with all the history there. The hosts are great and very accommodating and always make sure that we feel welcome. It is my go to for staying in New Bern North Carolina
My favorite part was the garden teaming with birds. Enjoyed walks along Front street and great food downtown. The beds were comfy, and the hosts provided many amenities.
Hosts were very attentive and communicative, and the property was certainly as advertised. We were looking for a great “home base” to explore New Bern that also wasn’t right in the middle of downtown, and this property was great. Everywhere is very walkable and the waterfront is just steps from the house.
We enjoyed a long weekend celebrating with friends. The porch was great for an outside dinner and the kitchen fully stocked so I could make a cake. Easy walk to downtown for dinners, music, shopping, and the market. Wonderful getaway!
