The Mattocks House:
Rooted in Tradition
Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a wedding weekend, or a small business retreat, the Mattocks House offers a flexible and welcoming space. This six-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath historic home blends early 1900s charm with thoughtful modern updates, making it ideal for gathering, celebrating, or simply unwinding by the water.
Located in the heart of Swansboro and just minutes from Emerald Isle, the house is walkable to shops, restaurants, and the waterfront. With three floors, ample indoor and outdoor living areas, and a private day dock for boats up to 28 feet, it’s a timeless setting for your next stay or special event.
With a shared love for history and hospitality, this pair has thoughtfully preserved the Mattocks House as a place where comfort, charm, and connection come naturally.
