About this apartment rental
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.

The home was located close dining, shopping and attractions. It is an older home with older amenities but everything you need is supplied for a comfortable stay.

This is the second time I've stayed here. I recommend it. As stated, the location is very convenient. There's a washer and dryer. Parking is easy. The rules are common courtesy.

Nice historic home, great location. Friendly owners.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
When you book an historic home, you expect age-related items such as few outlets, creaky floor boards, less than level floors along with (hopefully) character and history. This home had all of the above, but you would hope the historic aspects of the house would be tempered with some modern comforts. The A/C and WiFi worked but the seating options were horrible. There were 4 mismatched and uncomfortable chairs around the kitchen table, and the sofa in the living room had to be the most uncomfortable I have ever sat in. The advertised lania/lpatio was a back porch stoop inaccessible from inside the house and the garden advertised had 3 hard metal rusting chairs in the middle of an unkempt area. So there was no place to just sit and, relax have a drink or read a book. Beyond that, neither the microwave nor the Keurig coffee maker worked. The location was quiet and was walkable to town, but you need to be reasonably mobile to do it as the heart of the downtown was about 3/4 mile from the house. Also, FYI - the picture displays the whole house but the rental portion was only half with a full time resident in the other half, but that was not an issue. Bottom line: disappointing stay.
