Historic Thomas McLin House Downtown, 2 blocks from Tryon Palace

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.

Nice and peaceful
Overall stay was good, the property was as described. The location was great for walking and the neighbors were friendly. The only negative is the house had only one television and it was downstairs. Would have been nice to have televisions in the bedrooms.

Nice Listing and Location
It's a nice location. The home is older, is well maintained, and has been lightly redecorated and remodeled. There are stairs to the second floor. The place was clean and comfortable with a full kitchen, Keurig coffee service and washer/dryer. They keep a folder of handy information like I've seen in many rentals. Their living room couch is micro fiber, which came in handy because I spilled a little wine cooler on a cushion and it cleaned up and was dry in seconds. Cleaning up to leave was pretty easy. We stripped the beds and left them next to the washer, did the dishes, wiped stuff down and took out the trash. All the normal courtesies - took about 20 minutes. The downtown New Bern area is super! There's good walking and some fun stuff to see and do. It was a pleasant stay, thank you!

We had such a nice stay. The location was perfect. This was a last minute trip and Jennifer was so kind to help me make a reservation after the deadline and offered recommendations for both casual and fine dining. The home was lovely.

The property is well maintained and convenient. Being from northern New England we are not used to not being able to open the windows for fresh air, yet we understand why it's done. The house is well equipped in the kitchen and very comfortable. We will consider it again in the future. Thanks for everything. Paul.

Scottish visitors to New Bern March 2024
My wife and I stayed for three nights in mid-March. Comms was good with hosts. Only complaint is the front door handle was broken. Hosts advised me day before we arrived. Not ideal but they fixed it the next day…our only complaint. Location is good for Palace, river and historical walk. Left of property is graveyard. Would advise not going further left. All else is excellent. 10-15 mins stroll to downtown, which is really good. Loads of bars/eateries. River front is lovely. Nice for walks, clean and safe. Historical houses around property & downtown are fascinating. Lovely just strolling around. Property has everything you need. Lots of space. Nice touch with coffee pods. All in all a v good time. Would stay again.
