The Sparrow House is available for rent year round for up to three families or groups of up to 12 people to stay together, and it can be used for more intimate gatherings and small Receptions, rehearsal dinners, or parties with up to 25 people in the house, (up to 60-80 if a tent is set up right behind the house and used for Receptions/Dancing).  It was built by a ship builder and the design and location of the property make it evident that this is one of New Bern's most desirable homes. The home has a winding spiral staircase that winds all the way to the fourth floor, and it also has a small side yard that will be able to be used for outdoor tables to seat up to 20-30 people.  Evening walks through historic New Bern, Horse drawn Carriage rides that can pick you up at the front door, and wide views of the Neuse River that are only available from a select few properties in downtown New Bern. 

   The house is in the best location downtown and within five-seven minutes walk to several of New Bern's most beautiful Churches and Restaurants, only three-four minutes walk from The River Front Convention Center, The Sheraton Grand, and only steps from Union Point Park on the waterfront.  Anyone planning a Wedding or event for The Riverfront Convention Center, Union Point Park, or any other downtown location, should contact us about reserving the home. 

  If you decide to use us for your photography, you can add the house for four nights (Thurs, Fri, Sat , and Sunday) for only $995! You can not put that many people in hotels for less, and they will not see each other very much during the wedding weekend or Family Vacation if they are forced to stay in hotel rooms.

New Bern has some of the best Golf in NC within just a few minutes drive.

4 bedrooms,  6 queen beds, 3.5 bath, Sleeps 12 people

compare the value to any other method of having this many people stay in New Bern for your vacation, Wedding, Family reunion or downtown event....and also factor in the great memories that will come from staying together as a group!

Monday-Thursday $289 a night (single nights allowed)

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday $395 a night (2 nights minimum)

You would have to rent as many as 6 hotel rooms to sleep this many people and  at $120 per night per room would be $720 per night!

This home will add memories to your stay in New Bern,

who ever remembers a hotel room?

    The house sleeps 12 people and it is providing a wonderful downtown location for the bride and her family and friends to stay together.  The house has a kitchen, formal dining room, wireless internet, a poker table with chips, cable TV, five flat screen TVs, six fireplaces 6 queen beds, and a bedroom on the fourth floor (the river room) with a queen size bed, a Jacuzzi tub, and the best river view in town.
