Your Charming Asheboro Bed and Breakfast Alternative with a Century of Stories
Located just 15 minutes from downtown Asheboro, the Duck Smith House offers a peaceful, country-style bed and breakfast experience nestled in the heart of Randolph County. Built in 1914, this historic home has witnessed generations of Central North Carolina life. Originally a tobacco farmhouse, it has since been transformed into a warm and welcoming B&B full of rich history and charm. Named after the colorful Duck Smith, a beloved local figure and school janitor, the house has served as a family home, community hub, and travelers’ haven. A heartfelt letter from Layne Smith, born here in 1927, is proudly displayed in our entry hall, symbolizing the deep roots of this special place and the many lives it has touched.
Our location in Central North Carolina makes us an ideal Asheboro Bed and Breakfast alternative for guests seeking a quiet, immersive getaway filled with creativity and character. Just minutes away from dozens of working pottery studios, scenic drives, and small-town appeal, the Duck Smith House is perfect for couples, art lovers, and anyone looking to slow down and connect with authentic North Carolina culture. Whether you’re visiting Asheboro for the North Carolina Zoo, attending a local event, or exploring the nearby pottery scene, our bed and breakfast provides the perfect home base for your adventures in the area.
Through the Years to Today
Over the years, the house has been lovingly cared for by families like the Ashes and Brims, and visionary innkeepers like Sarah Naradzay and Suzanne & Barbara Murphy, who graced the property with beautiful roses and a sense of hospitality that lives on today.
Now, we, Jeremy and Jessica Steinhart, are honored to carry on their legacy. We strive to offer our guests a warm welcome, thoughtful touches, and a true home-away-from-home experience. Come be a part of our story, we can’t wait to share this special place with you.
