Always, there is at least something to improve on right? Wrong. Marty & Michael have truly thought of everything you could possibly dream of and brought it to fruition. If you want to experience a truly flawless, stupendous retreat then go to New Bern, meet these beautiful people Michael & Marty and stay in the Aerie Inn. I just left there with my husband and have already arranged my next stay so my mother too can experience heaven on earth. Cindy & John Mandernach Las Vegas, NV

My Husband and I were finally able to take our first honeymoon to this bed and breakfast. It truly was the most romantic getaway that wasn't to far away from home. I can't thank them enough for making us feel so welcomed and also for the cleanliness of the room. It felt so great to be away for the day and come home to a place so clean and welcoming. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Jeremy and Tina E from Pikeville, NC

My husband and I just spend a wonderful mini vacation at the best Bed and Breakfast we have visited - The Aerie B&B. The owners and staff were so friendly and made us feel at home right from the start. The room was breathtakingly beautiful, roses awaiting, champagne cooled. The breakfast was delicious to eat and to look at, wonderful linens, towels, refrigerated beverages, hot drinks available at any time... We highly recommend this establishment to anyone trying to get away, ans we would go back there any time. Ulla and Alan Dittmar

It was our first bed and breakfast experience and we immediately fell in love with what the Aerie had to offer. Marty and Michael are exceptional hosts. They were readily available to help in any way. We felt like royalty. Marty's breakfast menu is to die for and Michael is so charming! We cannot wait to visit the Aerie again.

I have never stayed in a B&B before, but The Aerie makes me never want to stay in a regular hotel ever again. Such elegant rooms! It is obvious that Michael & Marty have considered and included every ammenity imaginable for the best experience possible. Such wonderful, eloquent and relaxing atmosphere! And who can forget the fabulous food?! My favorite is the Romeo & Juilette French Toast...it really is "to die for". Thanks, Michael,Marty & staff! I look forward to seeing you all again real soon!

I have never stayed at a B&B. I have traveled all over the world and stayed in only the best hotels, however the Aerie B&B is truly a five star establishment. The innkeepers made our stay warm, welcoming, and wonderful experience, one I shall do again when in New Bern. In fact it is the only place I will stay in New Bern. And should they be booked for the time I am requesting, I will make changes to my travel. The specialized breakfast menu is part of the experience. The food is a culinary delight. I just wanted to say thank you for a truly wonderful experience. The fact that is was my birthday made it even more special. I just want to thank the Innkeepers, Michael and Marty. PS. The person that cleaned our room was great, please tell her thank you. I am sorry, I did not get her name.

My now Fiance` and I had our very first B&B experience at the Aerie Bed and Breakfast on the 13th and 14th of October 2008 and we have to say that it was amazing! The staff was very pleasant for the very start and Marty and Michael are excellent hosts! We stayed in the Hidden room which was fantastic! My fiance` was simply amazed by the beauty of not only the room itself but of the inn as well. The breakfast in the morning was delicious!! Marty and Michael were very helpful in making our stay magical! They took pictures for us when we went on our carriage ride through New Bern and made us feel very welcome the whole time! I would suggest the Aerie Bed and Breakfast to anyone looking for a wonderful time in New Bern, NC!

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the Aerie during a surprise get-away birthday weekend I had planned. Never having been there before I went online and was able to find out all I needed to know, although I did call to get all the particulars on their special "Romantic Package". It was then that I spoke directly to Michael Gunhus, one of the owners, and got some well informed advice. He was able to suggest an appropriate schedule with such events that included a tour of the historic Tryon Palace(1 block away), Spa Service(which was extra but AWESOME), Horse and Carriage Ride(very romantic) to a wonderful dining experience at the Harvey Mansion and receiving fresh flowers with a unique etched glass keepsake that will always remind us of what a truly magical weekend we had. The breakfasts featured a different menu each day. All were beautiful, tasty and satisfying. For me, the best part of the whole weekend was coming back to the Inn after a great night out in downtown New Bern and sitting in the upper front porch enjoying our evening tea together. I would highly recommend the Aerie Bed and Breakfast to anyone looking for a unique place to stay where the accomadations are top notch and the service is even better. Enjoy!

The Aerie B&B was one of the nicest and friendliest B&B's I've ever stayed at. It was decorated beautifully yet very comfortable. The innkeepers, Michael and Marty, will bend over backwards to meet all your needs and treat you like family..even after you've checked out! I can't say enough wonderful things about this place and the innkeepers!! Would definitely stay here again soon!

Our two-night stay at the Aerie Inn was an exceptionally good experience. Marty and Michael's hospitality was welcoming, warm, and personable. They were so knowledgeable about interesting things to do and see in the area and were willing to make dinner reservations for any of their guests. Our room was spacious and very comfortable and accommodating. The breakfasts were FANTASTIC -- creatively named, beautifully served, and delicious! We enjoyed meeting the other guests during the late afternoon social hour and comparing notes on our experiences in the area as well as other travels. We would stay at Aerie Inn again in a heartbeat! It gets an A++ in our book!

The Aerie is a first-class establishment where guests are treated like family. Michael and Martie go out of their way to show warm hospitality. They serve a bountiful breakfast each morning with three entrees to select from. Movies and books are available for your leisure time. Each evening from 5:30 - 6:30 pm they host a social hour in the parlor with drinks and snacks. This provides an opportunity for all the guests to become acquainted and for us to get to know Michael and Martie. Thanks for a wonderful week!!

We stayed at the inn for two nights while on a business trip. From the time we arrived until the morning we left, it was fantastic. The breakfast is gourmet and delicious! The social hour with snacks and wine was wonderful, and rooms are lovely. Every detail has been attended to. I'd recommend this inn for a pleasant stay in the New Bern area. In fact, we are booking our next trip already!

Photo Album

The Carolina Suite, a great room on the first level with large bay windows and a king bed with an elegant crown canopy. Large private bath with shower and whirlpool bath makes Carolina a special place.
Magnolia is a very large suite and is possibly our most romantic.  Four poster canopy queen bed and antique victorian settee and a sitting area with two comfortable chairs.  A wonderful whirlpool bath for two makes for an outstanding getaway.The Tuscarora Suite contains an antique Austrian king bed (one of the earliest models) hardwood floors and a Victorian settee and two matching Victorian chairs.  This is one of our largest rooms with room to relax and enjoy!  Romantic whirlpool bath and shower complete this special suite.
The Duck Inn Room is a wonderful first floor room that is a pure delight.  Cozy and comfortable with a queen bed and private bath with bathtub and shower.
