A bright, welcoming twin bedded room awaits you at Neuse River House which is the perfect location to visit all of Oriental's attractions. The space The twin bedded Serenity Room is above all, a quiet, peaceful, respite. A get away from it all, comfortable space in an upstairs alcove of the house which is completely private from the hosts living space. More than just a room! Enjoy the ‘Bonus Room’ with TV, dedicated office space, coffee/tea bar, mini fridge comfortable chairs for reading or just relaxing. The outdoor space with porch offers great views of the river and the flower gardens Guest access The guests are encouraged to make full use of the outdoor space with panoramic water views from the outside porch deck (for sitting, sipping, people, dog, boat, or just water watching). Also outside are the flower gardens. Unfortunately, Florence’s visit in the fall of 2018 has forever changed our landscape. The swing under the magnificent magnolia tree is no longer as it came down with that ancient tree. The flower gardens are making a slow comeback after having been under brackish water for some time. But all is still well and beautiful. During your stay Getting to know my guests is one of my favorite things to do as a host. A glass of wine on the porch deck and conversation. I give my guests space if that is their choice as well Other things to note I have a tuxedo cat that likes people but not other animals in his space so no dogs. Tuxie is not allowed in the guest quarters but you will see him roaming around in the outdoor spaces.
