Welcome to Duckett House Inn, a turn of the century farm house, located in Hot Springs, North Carolina, where the Blue Ridge joins the Great Smokies, and less than an hour from Asheville, NC.

Bold Spring Creek meanders through the valley joining the French Broad River at the site of the Hot Mineral Springs, once a turn of the century health Spa catering to the wealthy tourist.

Today, Hot Springs is once again a destination for tourists seeking peace. Either hiking the Appalachian Trail, or rafting down the mighty French Broad River. Those seeking to just relax and savor the area's breathtaking scenery, can soak in the nearby Hot Mineral Springs along the banks of the French Broad River.

Wake to a bountiful breakfast, organic coffee, fresh fruit, Brian's breads baked fresh daily and eggs from our free range hens. For those who don't eat eggs or dairy, we offer alternatives. Advance notice for dietary restrictions (i.e. macro.vegan).

Our History

Built in 1900 as a home for Newton Jerome Lance and his wife Fanny, who owned and operated the first hydroelectric plant on Spring Creek along with an ice house on the property.

In 1919 David and Laura Duckett purchased the land and it remained in their family until 1975. The building remained abandoned until 1990 at which time we began to restore the building and turn it into a Bed and Breakfast Inn.

Rates are based on double occupancy and are subject to change without notice. A combined 9% room and sales tax will be added to the final bill at time of check-out. 2 night minimum stay is required on weekends during the high season ( April - October) and all holiday periods.
