The Jarvis at 220

The Gleason Cottage at Jarvis was the best accommodation we have ever experienced. The attention to detail that went into the design, execution, and decor of the space was superb. The very comfortable bed, luxurious shower, huge closet with washer/dryer, full kitchen, and carefully selected furnishings, made the Gleason a peaceful getaway. The icing on the cake were the special breakfasts that Ian thoughtfully prepared each morning. This is a one-of-a-kind gem and we will be back!

The Jarvis is an amazing property!! From the front porch to the fluffy pillows, everything was exceptional. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. Brandi, the owner was on site, and offered superb southern hospitality. Ian, took care of every detail, and is quite an amazing chef. They both offered plenty of advice on must do’s and eats. Very convenient walk to a lovely downtown with everything you could want or need. We look forward to coming back very soon.

Outstanding Gem recently re-opened for B&B stays, previously the Jarvis at 220 was only available as an event venue. My wife and I were there celebrating Mother’s Day. The rooms were large and comfortable, and the porches always seemed to be shady. Centrally located to everything downtown, the Tryon Palace was walking distance. The basement is an inviting playroom, with billiards, flatscreens, and oversized stuffed sectionals, perfect for relaxing on a hot afternoon. The staff was meticulously organized and friendly, it felt like a home and not just lodging.

My husband and I have been staying at B & B's for 28 years and the Jarvis is our favorite! Not only was the house spotless and beautifully decorated, the innkeeper, Ian Smith, made our visit priceless. The breakfasts he served were delicious and beautifully presented. Ian has a great eye for details to make your visit memorable. He is by far the most cordial and attentive innkeeper we have ever encountered and made us feel like a guest in his home. We stayed in the cottage and it was worth every penny.

What an amazing weekend at Jarvis 220. Truly the R&R we needed, staying in the Sunset Suite; perfect for a couple and very elegant and calming! The owners, Michael and Denise were welcoming, friendly, accommodating, and definitely present to assist with the needs of all who were staying there! All the years we have traveled and stayed at B&Bs, this one absolutely is in our top five! It was spotless, with the highest quality toiletries, linens, towels, down to the smallest detail. Denise is quite the chef, and spoiled us with her yummy breakfasts! She even provided wine and cheese Friday evening upon our arrival! New Bern was just lovely and everything we had remembered…friendly, quaint, great restaurants and selection of breweries…we drove out to Oriental and had a lovely lunch at Yawl’s…definitely worth the trip! We will return sooner than later. Thanks again Michael and Denise! P.S. Jarvis 220 is a lovely wedding venue, as witnessed by us during our stay…truly amazing, and magical♥️
