Appreciate a drink on the screened in patio in the back or on the historic front porch. Savor a stay in a newly restored historic home with a special, unique appeal of its own.
Visiting the Empie-Poisson Cottage is like taking a trip back in history. Constructed in 1913, the Empie-Poisson bungalow has been completely restored. The home has the 2 original, non-working, coal burning fireplaces, original wood floors, doors, and single pane windows. Prepare to experience historic southern charm in a bungalow like no other!
The screened in porch is accessible through double doors in the bedroom. The space has a completely outfitted kitchen ready to make any meal. There is a washer and dryer on the premise to wash clothes that may have gotten a spill of wine during your stay! We appreciate your furry friends but we will ask for a non-returnable pet fee of $100 per pet for your stay with up to two family pets.
The Empie-Possion Cottage is located in the heart of historic downtown Wilmington. The streets surrounding the bungalow have sprawling oaks and cobblestone streets with striking historic homes. The bungalow is 3 blocks from the Cape Fear river and six blocks or a ten min. walk to the heart of downtown. Drive to NC's most fashionable beach in just twenty mins. and appreciate beachfront eateries and shopping. Bring your car or two and park in front of the home for complimentary!
Please note all guests must complete a rental agreement upon booking.
