Great place for a family

The area is very rural. Great get away from the hustle and bustle. The ferry ride to Ocean Isle was great. The town of Oriental is a quaint nice little town. We enjoyed the Brewery and talking to the locals!

Perfect Mini Vacation

This was my nephews wedding weekend in New Bern, a lovely weekend it was. My son, his fiancée, my sister, brother-in-law and myself stayed here. Everything was in working order and neat. What was perfect was the large front and back porches, the quiet serene setting and the friendly neighbors. I have a high stress job and this was exactly what I needed to decompress. I hope to come back soon!
