This was our first time in New Bern, came to town for business. The house is BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED and MAINTAINED! The owners restored the home to as much as its original Victorian state. The house is a 5 min walk from downtown. I highly recommend MJs Bar and Grille, La Rosa (authentic Italian, is about 10 mins from the house).For the BEST country breakfast go to Bakers Kitchen (their Dutch Potatoes are out of this world). For ice cream I recommend the Cow Cafe. While in town, definitely walk around and explore. While at the house you will feel right at home. Anything you need to know is right at your fingertips, in a book on the living room table. Stephanie and Mike have done a fantastic job at providing a home away from home! Looking forward to coming back.
