About this house rental
This private historic cottage (c. 1850) is located in the heart of historic downtown New Bern and steps away from shopping, dining, and the waterfront. The cottage was originally a law office and sits on the property of the historic Coor-Cook residence (c. 1790), listed on the New Bern Architectural Walking Tour.
Guests have access to the entire cottage- one bedroom with queen-size bed. Full bathroom. Eat-in kitchen. Separate living room. WiFi. Onsite parking for 1 vehicle.
PLEASE NOTE PRIOR TO BOOKING:
-2 person max per reservation- please do not check-in with more than 2 individuals.
-No children under the age of 12 permitted either on the reservation or as guests due to historic preservation and safety concerns (no railings, gas stove, etc).
-The cottage is limited to those individuals listed on the booking reservation only. No guests/events/parties.
-No pets of any kind- this includes “emotional support animals” and small non-shedding breeds. Trained service animals permitted.
-While there is no cable, the wi-fi allows streaming. The cottage has a Netflix account, and guests may feel free to log into their own streaming services at their discretion.
-The cottage is not wheelchair accessible. There are four brick steps outside the front door and no handrail (see photo of front door). Bathroom is also not wheelchair accessible due to size.
-Smoking and vaping is not permitted on the property, inside or outside.
-There is a functioning train track along Hancock Street. The train comes by (very slowly) most days. It also comes by some nights. Trains are not permitted to blow their horn in the residential historic district.
-The cottage sits next to our personal family residence. We have two friendly, outdoor cats that roam the property.
-The kitchen is stocked with coffee, tea, olive oil and common spices. Otherwise, we do not supply baking/cooking ingredients to avoid responsibility for items expiring/spoiling. The kitchen has cookware/bakeware and you are welcome to bring your own items for cooking. Aldi, Publix, Food Lion, Piggly Wiggly, and Harris Teeter are local grocery options.
The cancellation policy is enforced. Please carefully read the cancellation policy prior to booking.

The perfect cottage to stay in while visiting New Bern. It feels as if you are visiting the past….with all of today’s comforts.The train running down the street past the property is like the cherry on top.Debbie

Property owner was very kind and helpful in communication. The property is beautiful and very convenient to downtown. The history alone is worth the stay. Highly recommend.

Just as expected from the positive reviews. Would definitely stay here again.
6 / 10Average·Feb 2026
The house itself was lovely, but I didn't not notice there are no railings on the front steps and we are seniors (wobbly ones) and this proved to be a real challenge for us. Also, the very high sided tub/shower was not accessible to us (old knees). There was a small disclaimer I agree I missed on her post, but this lovely home is not senior friendly. I mentioned these items to her privately and she seemed a little "spicy", so I backed off. We were happy to leave in one piece, as my husband did almost fall, but the home itself is lovely.
