A Beautiful Past. A Beautiful Beginning

More than a century later, the beauty and character of this historic home continue to welcome people through its doors. Today, its timeless rooms, charming garden, and inviting gathering spaces have been thoughtfully reimagined as a place where new stories begin—where families come together, traditions are celebrated, and couples are surrounded by the people they love most. With all the charm of its past and the promise of everything still to come, The Jarvis is a beautiful place to begin your forever.

Built in 1903, The Jarvis at 220 has been part of New Bern’s story for generations.

The Hearts Behind The Jarvis

At the heart of The Jarvis is the Strickland family, whose love of hospitality and bringing people together helped shape the welcoming place it is today. As a family themselves, they believe life’s most meaningful moments deserve to be celebrated surrounded by the people you love.

Their vision for The Jarvis is simple: to create a place that feels beautiful without feeling formal, elevated while still feeling like home. From intimate moments in the garden to joyful celebrations that fill the property, the Stricklands have thoughtfully created a setting where couples and their families can gather, celebrate, and make memories they’ll carry long after the last dance.
