About this condo rental

Situated in New Bern, this lovely condo for $110 per night is a great option for your next trip. The Thomas McLin House. A prominent local Coppersmith and merchant built this home for his daughter in 1822. While visiting New Bern stay in this historic 2 story federal style Apartment. During the Great Fire of New Bern in 1922 the roof burnt, however the home was luckily able to be repaired and expanded in the federal style as two townhouse style apartments, as it remains today. The heart pine wood flooring outlines the original 1822 floor plan, while the 1922 upstairs addition constructed after the devastating great fire has southern yellow pine wood flooring. The original 1822 fireplace mantel remains, and the antique light fixtures make you feel as though you’ve been transported back in time. You will be located within a short walk to many amentities such as shopping, restrauants, museums, and marinas. We are located 2 blocks from the historic Tryon Palace main gate and a couple more blocks from the NC History Museum. Whether you are touring the historical streets and sites of one of North Carolina’s colonial capitals or enjoying the neighborhood coffee shop, hunting for treasures at one of the many antique shops, taking a day trip to the beach, exploring coastal Carolina, or enjoying the micro-brewery a few blocks away, this is a convenient and great location to call home while you are visiting. Welcome. * Security cameras monitor both the front and back exterior entrances. *

We were scouting out area as a possible retirement area. The house was great and we loved the town.

Attempt to cover old house smell with strong cinnamon scent made breathing hard and house inhabitable for a second night. I am mildly asthmatic and both of us were bothered with smell. Bedroom windows covered with installed interior sheets of glass so ventilation impossible. This may be illegal as escape from second floor seriously impeeded in case of emergency. Couch (sink to back) and bed (sink to center) very uncomfortable... no support. Outlet in kitchen overloaded with power strip ... trips fuse when using coffee machine and microwave used at same time. We erred in not contacting Air B&B customer service. They would have covered 2nd night stay in a hotel and getting our money back from the owners. We contacted owners requesting a refund and received refund of about 1/3 of cost of 2nd night we did not use. Not recommended!

decent place to stay, not upscale at all, but if you need a place to crash while your spending all your time elsewhere, its pretty good. Checkin Process smooth with good communication. But overpriced IMO due to VRBO fees, cleaning fees, and location and overall property.

The location was perfect and so was the house. Our kids loved the bunk bed room and the wonderful selection of books and games. We were steps away from Tryon Palace and tons of local spots. We hope to come back and visit, soon. Thanks, Jen and Ben! :)

Staying in this rental was like experiencing living in a long past time. The apartment was as advertised. All our needs were met. The one drawback was we were never able to get on Wi-Fi despite two unsuccessful attempts to contact the owners. The highlight of our three-night stay was the 90-minute trolley tour, which we highly recommend. New Bern is a quaint town, and staying at the McLin House enhanced our visit.

This house has some amazing history and they did a great job maintaining the original structural integrity of the home. The house is in a great location and is stocked with everything you need and more! My kids loved playing with the puzzles and blocks and reading the books on the bookshelf. We are so happy we found this place for our short visit to New Bern!

We were visiting the area as I was meeting with a real estate agent. The home is an easy walk to the downtown area and on a nice quiet street. Very comfortable and quite lovely inside. Pleasant back yard to sit in and enjoy. I did travel with my elderly parents so the steep staircase was a poor choice on my part, but everything else was great and the kitchen is well equipped.

It was a wonderful stay in a historic home. The owners took it upon themselves to make sure there were things we could use such as bath soap and laundry detergent it was a great touch. It was clean and comfy. A great spot for a weekend getaway!

The home was perfect for a weekend trip with my girl friend. We parked our car on the street near the home on Friday afternoon and never moved it till we got in the car Sunday to leave. Easy walk to Tryon Palace - right down the street. Pleasant walk to wonderful places to eat dinner. The home was clean and had everything we needed.

The house is very well located to walk around downtown New Bern. It was convenient having the washer/dryer, kitchen, two toilets, and two sinks in the main upstairs bathroom. The master bedroom was spacious with plenty of room for our clothes and very comfortable bed. We definitely recommend staying here!

The house has everything you need. Extra blankets, games, dvds, books and a fan which I like to have to sleep with at night. Very comfy bed. Great location so we walked to everything. The Shriners happened to be having a parade in front of our place and it was very enjoyable. If you have never been to a Shriners parade I suggest you attend one. Those guys know how to have fun.

This property is amazing! We absolutely loved the historical value of it… from the antique doorknobs to the fireplaces… it’s gorgeous. However, my two year toddler was very frightened of staying the night there. So unfortunately we left early. The property is walking distance to downtown and the palace. It also has a nice backyard. Next time, no kids and just us adults. We will definitely be booking this property in the future. This property made us miss the old days and rehash memories of our youth at Grandmas house! It’s also very comfortable from the beds to the cozy couch. Thank you Jen and Ben for an awesome experience!

This home was perfect for our weekend trip to Tryon Palace. The location is wonderful, only a short walk to the Palace and downtown. The house was exceptionally and thoughtfully stocked. If you are looking for an affordable place with historic charm, plenty of room for a family of 4, and a responsive host this is the perfect place.
