This is the 2nd time we stayed here & we just love it! It’s in a great location to the convention center (where our event was). Comfortable beds. Well stocked kitchen. Property manager was super kind to work with!!

From the owner: ''We are so thankful that you choose to come back to the Blue Bear Cottage! You are great guests and we look forward to seeing you next year!''
This home was the perfect spot for a long weekend in downtown New Bern. We could easily get to all of the top spots for fun and food! The home had all of the comforts and a lot of extras. We truly enjoyed our stay.
From the owner: "It was a pleasure hosting you and we are happy you enjoyed your stay with us. We would love to host you again in the future."
This home was beautiful and was so much larger than expected. The game room was awesome for the whole family. Loved the Google TVs. Kitchen was very well-equipped. Lovely outdoor space. Be prepared for stairs. Parking a large SUV was enough for one. Everything you want to enjoy in downtown New Bern is within walking distance. Only downside was that the place wasn't clean to my standards. It wasn't the end of the world but the owner definitely needs to check the cleaning staff on floors, bathrooms, etc. I would absolutely stay here again when visiting the area. Thank goodness to finally have a nice place to stay in New Bern!
