About the host
Hosted by April
My husband and I moved here as an active-duty Marine family over 20 years ago. Our family grew and so did our love for this sweet town of New Bern. During that time we’ve watched this charming town grow into a vibrant destination filled with art, entertainment, and year-round activities for all ages. We love the river sports, the community events, and the warm, welcoming spirit that makes New Bern such a special place to call home.
From Tryon Palace and the historic homes, to ghost walks, local restaurants, theaters, Bear Town events, and endless river activities—New Bern offers something for everyone in every season.
We’re excited to share our pet-friendly home with visitors who want to experience the best of New Bern. Located within walking distance to many of the city’s most popular attractions, the home is cozy, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything you need to enjoy a true home-away-from-home experience.

What makes this property unique
Living & Dining Areas - The space is well laid out, open, and comfortable for relaxing or gathering. The dining island is a floating island and can be moved for convenience, such as bringing it closer to the kitchen for meal prep. It also rotates for comfort—just be mindful not to bump the walls.
Upstairs Areas - Books are available upstairs in the library nook for your enjoyment during your stay. You may notice the unique slope of the floor, a charming characteristic of this century-old home. The beds are arranged to accommodate this feature.
This home carries over a century of charm and history, and we’ve taken great care to make it a warm and comfortable space for you. We hope your stay in New Bern—and especially in our home on Queen Street—is a memorable and lovely experience.
