The building and rooms are beautiful with a Georgia estate feel. The bed was very comfy, the breakfast was great every day and the owners are extremely friendly and accommodating. The location is also perfect to be able to walk to anything you would want to do in New Bern including many great restaurants and the main street shops. I definitely plan on returning and highly recommend a stay.

We had a wonderful and much-needed get away at the Aerie. It is so charming and in a perfect historic coastal town. The decor was beautiful and thoughtfully curated, and the soaking tub was the perfect touch of luxury and relaxation. The friendly owners made us feel right at home, and we loved being with in walking distance to great shops and restaurants. We would absolutely stay here again...See More

A wonderful, relaxing experience! We celebrated our anniversary in New Bern and enjoyed our stay at the Aerie very much. The service was perfect, and the building is a great balance of old, period details/fixtures, but with modern amenities. It's a very light and open space as well.
