    My husband and I spent Friday and Saturday night in early February 2012 at the Aerie Bed & Breakfast in the King George III Suite in the new Aerie Guest House & Conference Center. The room was lovely! The pictures do not do it justice. Michael & Marty Gunhus the inn-keepers were delightful, friendly, and helpful with dinner reservations. The Aerie offered a unique breakfast each morning. We were given our choice among three entrees each morning . . . each was delicious and beautifully presented. Not to mention the choice of juices, coffee, and hot drinks. We have stayed at the Aerie B&B before and will stay again. It is a luxurious treat that we truly enjoyed.

    We stayed at the Aerie for 4 nights and will return! Marty & Michael are delightful and very informative. Happy Hour was a fun way to meet others and exchange tales of the day. Breakfast was to die for!! Our room was lovely, spacious, and comfortable...2 comfy chairs to read in, a desk for writing and a bed with an outstanding mattress, topped with a feather bed and truly luxurious linens. This B&B was much more than we anticipated and made for a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Withhout hesitation, we strongly recommend The Aerie.


    Don't miss staying at this B&B!!!!!

    This B&B is the best one we have ever stayed at and we have stayed at 7 in NC. The service and friendly owners made our stay very relaxing. We also loved the fact that we did not need our car once we got there. We were able to walk to whatever we wanted to do. Great resturants in the area!!!

    I frequently travel to New Bern, on business, and had such a pleasurable stay that I plan to go back to the Aerie the next time I am in town! Marty and Mike were fantastic! The decor is amazing, the breakfast was to die for and every detail was thought of! Definitely recommend this B&B!

    Having first discovered the Aerie by accident, it proved to be perfect from day one. We've been back 3 times since and are visiting for the 5th time this coming weekend to stay in one of our favorite rooms! Michael and Marty are fabulous innkeepers - more so, friends. They make everyone feel so welcome and, with their newest family addition - Banjo, a very handsome pup - the Aerie is my home away from home. You'll fall in love with the atmosphere, the Gunhus's and the quaint town of New Bern. Truly a gem and worth a special trip!
