Repeat guests, another great stay!

My husband and I plus our two found children had a wonderful stay at Kristine’s property. The house is in a great location, a short walk to downtown and right next to Tyron place. The house itself is beautifully decorated, including lots of stunning original artwork by the owner herself, we are looking forward to returning!

Cozy stay

The Smith House was a very cozy home and the owner was excellent with quick communications. I wish we had more time in the home to enjoy the various amenities like the screened in back porch, fireplaces and firepit. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Perfect Fall Trip

First of all, this house has so much character. From the artwork to the historic ambience, this was such a welcoming and lovely home. We were in town for the Fun in the Sun car show which was held downtown and there was no need to drive anywhere with everything in such close proximity. The host made sure to check in on us after our arrival and made sure that we felt welcome. The neighbors were kind and provided excellent recommendations for first time visitors. This will not be my last trip to this beautiful city!

Emotional Weekend

We were in town for my father’s memorial service. The location was exception- walking distance to downtown, places to eat and drink. The house was extremely comfortable, well appointed and comforting during an emotional weekend. The lovely setting and easy flow of the house allowed us to be together and be a respite for a difficult time. Highly recommend.

Great location and character!

My husband, our 2 little schipperkes and I spent 4 days in this wonderful, charming house in New Bern. The location is easily walkable to downtown New Bern plus a wonderful little breakfast spot as well as a wine bar. Bed was comfortable and everything we needed was there! Thank you!

Annual Weekend in New Bern

We had another fantastic weekend in New Bern. As always, Kippy’s home was just perfect. We appreciate the closeness to breweries and downtown- all within walking distance. The short drive to Atlantic Beach is also great! Thank you for sharing your New Bern Home with us once again!

Historic New Bern

Charming 1900 property with a space for everyone; living room, dining room, family room, outdoor seating. I believe it is the home of an artist, lots of paintings to admire. If you love old homes with character, this is the one for you!

A little slice of heaven

The property was very comfortable with all the character of home built in the early 1900's. There were great spaces to be together and also to break away for quiet time. The location was extremely convenient and walkable to downtown. I would highly recommend this property.
