Nice quiet getaway
Originally, I was supposed to come down with my 11 year old daughter but she got sick the two days before I left so the trip was just me. The property is very quiet and centrally located if you want to check out New Bern and the Croatan National Park. Since my itinerary with my daughter was blown I had to pivot to other things and the park turned out to be fantastic hiking. A quick 15 minutes away you also get to see the New Bern civil war battlefield with an interesting history. The house was great! Very clean and well maintained. I think it’s the best maintained property I’ve enjoyed using VRBO. Also, the owners were friendly and very nice. I brought my own dog which worked out great.

Spending time in this a beautiful cottage on the river side was the perfect end to our summer travels. Matt and Marisol goes way above and beyond with their hospitality. Greeting us at our arrival, making us felt welcomed, like celebrities. The cottage has absolutely everything that would need for your stay away from your home. We travel with kids and we always cook, we had everything that wee needed even olive oil and Tupperware. The cottage is well named pristine, because it was the cleanest VRBO that we ever stayed in.( we stay in VRBOs several times a year). Roo the sweetest dog was a definitet plus.

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!

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.
