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.

Visiting family in New Bern
We went to New Bern to visit (and meet) our newest grandchild! My daughter and her family live in the marina, so we needed a nice, close place to sit and visit. The house was lovely. Very spacious and so pleasant. The bedrooms are especially nice. It was a nice touch to have some puzzles for the 5 year old to play with. We would definitely stay again!

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.

Weekend in New Bern
The location was perfect and so was the house. Our kids loved the bunk bed room and the wonderful selection of books and games. We were steps away from Tryon Palace and tons of local spots. We hope to come back and visit, soon. Thanks, Jen and Ben! :)

Great vacation getaway
The McLin House is a beautifully up kept home close to many historic location. We loved being able to walk to Tryon Palace and come home for breaks from the heat. The house is well stocked and thoughtfully prepared for out of town guests. Communication was great with the hosts.
