Perched on a bluff overlooking the Neuse River, nestled among ancient oaks and pines –you'll discover the magic of CALL MY BLUFF cottage located next door to the Journey's End cottage. The shared 70' dock provides ample space for gathering over coffee in the mornings, sunsets in the evening, relaxing, fishing and enjoying the views of water foul along the river. Dolphin frequent the waters off of the dock. Conveniently located between Camps Seagull and Seafarer, the cottage is only 10 minutes away from Oriental, the sailing capitol of North Carolina. A free ferry ride across the Neuse and a short drive will take you to Beaufort, Morehead City, and the world-renowned beaches of the Crystal Coast. Historic New Bern is just up the river, and the tri-county area has an abundance of restaurants – from Mom'n'Pop shrimp burgers to 4-star International Cuisine. CALL MY BLUFF cottage features a painted white pine interior with one bedroom, a large open living space, and a stocked kitchen. A waterfront screened porch and deck with expansive river views and continuous breezes will be the perfect beginning to your CALL MY BLUFF cottage stay.

Quaint little cottage for a last minute summer getaway with my fiancé. We loved the screened-in porch, where we ate lots of dinners! The bed was super comfy! Thanks for sharing your cottage with us Terry!

Great Getaway

We had a great time at this quaint cottage! The view is amazing! We enjoyed fishing and relaxing on the river, and visiting many of the nearby towns. Our host, Terry, was so welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We can’t wait to return to our new favorite spot!

Cutest cabin on the river

This was the cutest cabin right on the Neuse river. It's so cozy but can actually sleep a good amount of people with the loft. The bed was so comfy and plenty of extra blankets and bedding provided. The AC was cold and everything you need is right there. The porch is screened in and I loved spending hours on it watching the birds and occasional dolphins go by. Terry was so helpful with ferry info and what to do across the river. Can't recommend this place enough

Quiet getaway

Had a quiet getaway on the river. Terry’s cottage is a hideaway to disconnect from a busy life. We enjoyed relaxing on the dock and in the hammock over a few days. Looking forward to staying here again.

Most of a week away!!

Loved relaxing and watching the river!!! We saw dolphins out back and other wildlife. Across the river we got to see the fighter jets coming and going. Rented a boat and spent the day on the river. A short drive to the ocean after an easy ferry ride. The cottage was lovely and perfect for two. The outside shower is a treat as are the kayaks. Great place and a great time!! Thank you and we hope to return🌞

We loved this cottage. The location and views were spectacular. The cottage is rustic and charming. Hummingbirds, frogs, turtles, sunsets, coffee on the deck in the morning and cocktails on the dock at sunset. We will definitely be back!

Cottage with a view of dolphins

It was amazing to be able to see dolphins each morning from the porch! We utilized the free ferry daily. With a bit of driving, we spent time at the beach, visited oceanside communities and ate fantastic food!

Charming Cottage with Fabulous Views!

Our family of four enjoyed a long weekend in this charming cottage. The screened in porch, deck, and dock provided lovely and peaceful water views, and the kayaks were an added bonus! We had everything we needed for meal prep, but also enjoyed exploring restaurants in New Bern. It was a perfect place for us to celebrate Dads and Grads.

Magical

This cottage is a true gem! The best outfitted STR I have ever stayed in, from a kitchen well equipped enough to cook any dinner, to thoughtful extras such as a hammock, crap pots and fishing pole, beaches chairs and towels, and plastic wine glasses! All you need to do is unpack and start enjoying the breeze and view.
