The Duck Smith House
-
The Duck Smith House is a 1914 farmhouse located in the heart of pottery country in Seagrove, North Carolina. We are also near the North Carolina Zoo which is a must see adventure. The house has four bedrooms each with private bath. One on the main floor and three on the second floor. We are pet friendly but ask that you call first. Daisy Mae is the resident dog on premises.
Welcome! Come on in. Let us make you feel right at home and pamper your every wish.
Enjoy your gourmet breakfast in this cheerful/sunny room which was the original porch. Your delightful breakfast is served on fine China with lace tablecloths. Let us pamper you and as we always say..."No one leaves hungry." Look at all the pottery pieces on display as you decide which places to visit and plan your day.
The living room is a friendly place to gather, sit in front of the gas log fireplace, watch TV or read a book. No matter what you do, you will enjoy relaxing here.
Bertie's Room is named after our mother who liked satins and lace. This second floor room features a queen size bed with private bathroom which has a shower/tub combination. There is a non-working fireplace in the bedroom and bathroom which adds to the charm. Plenty of room here.
The Carolina Room is located on the first floor which features a king size bed with a pillow-top/memory foam mattress.Stall shower with one bench. This room is quite large and is great for those who do not want to do the stairs.
The Summit Room is the most private as it is on the second floor in the back. This room has a queen size bed and in the bathroom is a shower with a bench seat. There is a couch outside your room to sit and enjoy yourselves.
The Waverly Room has two full size beds which makes it perfect for those who like their own bed. Up to four can be in this room. Great for girlfriends get away. Large and bright.
Enjoy the beauty of a winters day. Snow isn't the usual but this certainly was a wonder.
Fresh blueberry pancakes or stuffed French Toast are always the favorites.

The Duck Smith House will delight your every senses! From the moment you arrive you will be greeted by the friendly sisters, Barbara & Suzanne and Daisy Mae (the resident dog). Each of the four bedrooms, with their own bathroom, was meticulously chosen to have its own personality and charm. Breakfast! Come into the sunniest room of the house with each of the four tables perfectly set with lace tablecloths, fine china, crystal and fresh flowers. Enjoy the small sample of the Seagrove Pottery in this delightful breakfast room. There's fresh ground coffee or herbal teas, fresh fruit and one of Barbara's wonderful breakfast specials...stuffed French Toast or maybe blueberry pancakes. Small portions aren't the standard but can be accommodated so don't forget to let them know. Relax at The Duck Smith House where you can mingle with the other guests or just be by yourselves. There are maps and business cards in front of some of the pottery pieces for you to plan your pottery shopping day. Visiting the quaint shops and talking with the potters will put smiles on your face. Don't miss the North Carolina Zoo which is the third largest free roaming zoo in the country and less than 10 miles from The Duck Smith House. Visit North America and/or Africa with it's five miles of shaded walking paths through the woods. Birders be thrilled with Suzanne's hanging bird feeders from the 100 year old black walnut tree. Come stay at The Duck Smith House, be pampered and know that when you stay here you will be spoiled and have memories that last and last.

5 out of 5Outstanding B & B
March 23, 2013
Lovely rooms and exceptionally clean. Marvelous breakfasts (yummy sweet potato pancakes, baked apples, stuffed french toast, etc). Enjoyed eating & drinking off antique china and crystal. Great camaraderie with hosts, Barbara and Suzanne, and all their guests - like we all had been friends for years. They are very special sisters and hosts. Guests were pampered unbelievably! They anticipated our every need and desire. Very knowledgeable about the Seagrove potters and shops in the area and were able to give us help in finding pieces for which we were searching. We loved our two night anniversary stay, but especially enjoyed their backyard bird sanctuary with hundreds of small furry flyers feeding in their many feeders, birdhouses, and even a heated bird bath. We sat with our binoculars and bird books basking in the glory of it all, while swinging on the playhouse porch eating cheese, crackers, and sliced apples on a doily-lined silver tray. The best trip to Seagrove for pottery shopping we have ever had. Will definitely go back and highly recommend it to others.

October 22, 2012
We stayed one night with Barbara and Suzanne and could not have asked for a more positive experience. The rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated and the breakfast was wonderful. There is great attention to detail here from the needs of the guests to the little touches that make for a memorable stay. I recommend The Duck Smith House without reservation!

October 09, 2012
We love this B&B!. Barbara and Suzanne are lovely hosts who address your every need. The cheese and fruit tray was a wonderful touch and the fresh cold water in the rooms was perfect. The effort these ladies go to to keep this inn so beautiful and clean is beyond impressive. We truly couldn't have asked for a better b&b experience. We were sorry to go and will miss those delicious breakfasts immensely!

5 out of 5Third Visit to Duck Smith House Was Wonderful
September 27, 2012
We deliberately planned our return trip from Florida to PA so that we could stay for the third time at the Duck Smith House. The owners, Barbara and Suzanne treated us like royalty and provided us great tips on different potters, restaurants and the North Carolina Zoo. Their breakfasts were delicious and their B&B is the cleanest we have found anywhere. We will be visiting again. Ken and Barbie
