Trent River Relaxation

This property was very nice, cottage was clean and neat. We enjoyed the river, fire pit, dock, kayaking and pedal boat! As stated, Property owner was on site and very accommodating. This is a great place for relaxation, As stated in the summary, the hill to get to the river is a bit steep but not a problem for active people!

Perfect Place!

Spent 6 days in this perfectly situated cottage out in the pines, by the river! The hosts were friendly and attentive and welcomed Mister Max, my nervous doggy, with open arms! Everything you would need is in the cottage and if you're outdoorsy, you have options outside, too!Hoping to see you again!

Relaxation and Renewal on the River

My friend Cyndy and I always look forward to our annual get togethers in New Bern, as has become our tradition, but this stay was particularly lovely. The River Cottage is a getaway unto itself. No need to leave, unless you wish to try out local restaurants of which there are many. The cottage is clean, quiet, up-to-date and very cozy. We spent some time just hanging out in the cottage but could not resist the lure of the property itself which is right on the Trent River. We relaxed at the top of the hill in two Adirondack chairs watching the river run, the geese fly and the fish jump. We also went down on the dock and sat closer to the water, considering taking the kayaks out but we were too lazy. Our hosts, Marisol and Matt could not have been more gracious. They are there to assist as much or as little as you like. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We will definitely go back!

Great Location!

I will start off by saying that my plans for the weekend were to fish, fish and then fish some more from their dock and along the bank. It rained almost the entire stay. I'm talking about a cold rain with very high winds which made fishing basically impossible. I still had a great time! This place has a great location, we brought the dog and the hosts were very dog friendly. He had the best time of all exploring nature and interacting with the host dog. Speaking of hosts ours were great, they made us feel very welcome and encourage us to take advantage of the amenities. They apologized a few times for the weather as if they had any control over that. I'll have to return and hope for better weather so I can fish, fish and then fish some more.

A relaxing getaway

My husband and I had a much needed relaxing getaway —surrounded by nature and water in a quiet location. Just a few miles to down town New Bern offered great restaurants, shopping and activities. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating.

Quiet, relaxing home away from home

We visited New Bern for our anniversary April 2-7 & this was the perfect place for a quiet, relaxing few days. The guest house was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. It’s only minutes from downtown and several good restaurants. Being able to take our fur baby with us was a plus too! The sunsets across the river were absolutely amazing! Matt & Marisol were the best hosts, making sure we celebrated this milestone together and they were always quick to respond to any questions. Their dog, Roo is a perfect gentleman who loves other dogs. We also felt very safe which is so important when traveling these days and walking our dog. I would definitely rent again, maybe for our next anniversary… ❤️

the get away cottage

We had a nice time! It would be nice in the summer to use the kayaks-we did have a little trouble at night navigating, the GPS had the road names wrong- but we got it the second night- and learned our way around, Randy even said he would like a little place like this out on some land- just don't know where? but that is a huge compliment!!

Lake house retreat

We only had a short stay here as we were road tripping to other places but this was an awesome stop along the way. This is a home on the owners property separate from their house. It had everything we needed to feel like we were at home. It was quiet and peaceful. The waterfront is beautiful to walk down to. We met one of the owners, Marisol who was sweet and welcoming and we appreciated her hospitality. Would 10/10 recommend staying here for a quiet getaway that’s close to New Bern. This is the cleanest property I have ever stayed at!!! Thank you for having us.
