BBQ instructions

I hope you are as excited about this BBQ as I am. If you just need to cook some hotdogs and hamburgers, use the gas grill on the right side. But if you are true Grill master,
Please enjoy the smoky flavor of the wood pellet grill on the left.
Please be a responsible griller and clean the grill when you’re finished.
We keep a bin of wood pellets in the play room. If the bin is empty you can purchase more pellets at Lowes or Walmart.
I have attached the instructions. Please read thru to familiarize yourself with the grill.

Family wedding in New Bern
This house was amazing! Comfortable and clean. Beds were comfortable, linens were soft. Enjoyed the patio, dock, kayaks, fire place and fire pit, and hot tub. It was a sweet time with my children celebrating my niece’s wedding in New Bern. The proximity to down town was very convenient. We would definitely stay here again!

Great family stay
We had twelve people of many ages and this house was a great fit. The river and view are beautiful. It's so nice to be able to kayak right from your backyard. The kitchen is well stocked for all kinds of cooking and everything was in good working order.

Perfect family house.
Our family called it the river house. It was a perfect place for our family reunion. We loved gathering in the large kitchen which looked over the water. We will book again if we have another reunion in New Bern !

AMAZING Weekend
We had a wonderful wedding weekend. Thank you to David for helping to make our family so comfortable and blessed. Our well appointed and spacious accommodations were a big hit, not to mention the fantastic view, lush manicured yard, fun (and very safe) dock, and gourmet kitten. We lacked for nothing and enjoyed everything.!

Waterfront Serenity!
This place was everything as advertised and completely lovely. Our family had an awesome time, and although it was rainy and cold one day, we managed to get one of the kayaks out at one point. Plenty of space for 3 couples and 3 kids. Really an awesome place and experience.
