Let me start by saying the lady I spoke with was so super nice and returned my call immediately after I left my message concerning the smell of the cottage. I do not know about the condition of the main house because we stayed in the cottage out back. The owners have really tried to make the cottage as amenable as possible but unfortunately it smelled like a damp, musty basement, especially around the hall by the bathroom. I understand this cottage was built in the early 1900's but it could seriously use some ventilation work work underneath and and an air purifier....other than the Glade plug in's used to freshen the air inside. All of our clothes and luggage smelled like Glade when we checked out and I found the mix of that smell and the musty odor of the room pretty bad. Again though, the owners and the property were great. If I had to recommend it to a friend I would tell them to DEFINITELY not stay in the cottage but get a room in the main house instead.

Great location, beautiful historic home within walking distance to the great restaurants and shops in the downtown area. Mark, our host, was very kind and attentive. We loved having the privacy of the smaller unit off the back of the house! Highly recommend

The house spans two centuries , so cool. That said, the place needs some ‘freshening’ and it is so stuffed with oversized, non-period furniture that it detracts from the ambiance of the house. The listing said nothing about the fact that the bathroom (for my room) was on the other side of two staircases—if I had known I would not have reserved it.

My son and I stayed in the cottage for one night. My son wanted to stay in a historic house, but have separate beds. A little tricky to find, but the cottage has two queen beds, so perfect! The hosts went above and beyond several times and made a fantastic nutella crepe just for my son. Highly recommend this property!

The location is great, 1 block to the Palace and to the trolley stop. The breakfasts (crepes, scones, eggs, bacon) made by the host, Mark, were superb. Because I am not a fan of Keurig, he made me coffee. There were some snafus, but the hosts did everything to try to accommodate me. Thus 4 stars instead of 5.

Nice little weekend getaway.
My fiancé and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay here. We were in town for an educators' workshop at Tryon Palace, and The Captain's Stay was only but a short 5 minute walk away. The lovation is perfect and the breakfast every morning was delicious! A great way to start our day. The bed was also very comfortable and cozy. We look forward to visiting here again, it was so lovely!

Visited charming New Bern for two nights on business 7/26/2022. Beautiful location right in the historic part of New Bern with wonderful hosts Mark and Lori . Charming and comfortable room in a house built in 1860s and nicely de orated with each room having it own theme. Breakfast included is cooked to order and wonderful. Rooms very clean. Walk down the street and you are in historic area of famous history of Bear City. Shopping and dining close and nice. Will definitely be back for further adventures. Thank you Mark and Lori for a wonderful stay.
