This quaint historic cottage, "The Hunter-Stevens Law Office", (c. 1855) is located in the heart of historic downtown New Bern, steps away from shopping, dining, and the waterfront. The cottage sits on the property of the historic Coor-Cook residence (c. 1790), known as the "Stanley Hospital, Officer's Ward" during the Union Army occupation of New Bern. The cottage originally served as the law office of Mr. Geoffrey Stevens, a prior resident of the Coor-Cook house. The space One bedroom with queen-sized bed. Full bathroom ensuite (bathroom is accessed through the bedroom). Eat-in kitchen. Separate living room. Original hardwood floors. Wifi and free onsite parking for one vehicle. Additional vehicles are welcome to street park which is free in the immediate area. Both the cottage and the main house next door are historic structures that require ongoing exterior routine maintenance and repairs (wood rot repair, painting, etc.). Host will make every attempt to limit the disruption this may cause guests, but guests should be aware prior to booking. Guest access You will have access to the entire cottage. Other things to note 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). No guests/events/parties.

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. No smokers, please. 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. It does not blow the whistle. The cottage sits next to our personal family residence. We have 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, and Harris Teeter are local grocery options.
