WELCOME TO BRIDGEWATER HALL HISTORIC INN
Elegance. History. Charm.
Bridgewater Hall is the oldest home in Burke County, first built in 1781. The property is located along, what is now, the Old Catawba River. The 4,700 sq.ft. house sits on nearly five acres of land and is on the National Registry Study list for historic places. Designer Michael Gavin historically preserved and restored Bridgewater Hall creating a breathtaking oasis for your next overnight get-away.
Our accommodations include three luxury guest suites and two extra guest rooms. Guests share access to other historical rooms within the Inn and the surrounding grounds.

THE INN
Main House & Grounds
While staying at the Inn, guests have access to other historical rooms and the surrounding grounds. Inside the main house, fresh florals and European antiques make our library, dining room and living room a romantic and intimate setting for guest to unwind, visit or read.
On the grounds there are many great areas for a morning stroll and private reflection. Walk along the river’s edge, relax in the gazebo or in a rocking chair found on one of our wrap around porches. Lounge in our rustic stone courtyard or tour our quaint Chapel. Escape from the city life on the covered deck overlooking the rushing river or relax outside on one of our hammock or beautifully situated benches. The river is a great place to catch and release fish. Or just bring a chair down and listen to the relaxing sound of nature while the water rushes over the stones.

The property is very relaxing and a great place to come to step back to a time before cell phones and connectivity. My wife and I came for a long weekend to get away from the hectic pace of life with a career and family. We had a wonderful time. Lots to explore and discover on the property. With some great vineyards close by and good restaurants and shops in downtown Morganton we had lots to do. We will definitely come back and will highly recommend to others.

Bridgewater Hall is beautifully designed and comfortable. The staff is kind and considerate. Little touches such as flowers in the room and other amenities make this property special. If you are a Bluegrass fan (as we are) Bridgewater Halls location is central to some of the most authentic and fun venues such as the Drexel Barbershop and the Sims Country Barbecue. We plan to stay at Bridgewater again.

The Bridgewater Inn is truly a beautiful historic gem tucked away in a peaceful, yet convenient venue. Such a delight, from the decor, the furnishings, the scenery, the chapel , and the rushing river to the landscaping and intricate details make this a perfect getaway! Furthermore, Michael, the most passionate host, pours his heart and soul in his efforts to excel above and beyond his duty to assure the satisfaction of his guests.

Michael was an excellent host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan on returning when we can stay longer. With his fantastic sense of design Michael has worked wonders on this beautiful house. All the rooms are tastefully decorated, cozy and quaint, transporting you to an entirely different era. However, they also have modern touches such as gas fireplaces and updated bathrooms for convenience and comfort. Wonderful place to stay, we enjoyed it much more than a hotel! Tip: book directly through their website, the prices are always higher on booking sites.

Circa 1781. Sray at the Gateway to the Mountains in the oldest house in Burke County. A piece of NC history. Lovingly restored and tastfully decorated. Additions to the house include the original country store and a gazebo overlooking the river. So much to do wtihin an hour from here too. Enjoy the restful tranquility of a bygone era in the Bridgewater Hall Historic Inn. You'll be glad you did.

As a historian, I loved the unique, charming features of this 18th century property. We stayed in the king room on the first floor which was large and lovely, the bed very comfortable. I also loved the small cozy library on the property. Michael was an exceptionally friendly and helpful host. The Inn is in a great location to tour the area and Michael gave us great recommendations. Bridgewater was a quiet, relaxing place to stay in the country but near everything we wanted to see. Loved it and will be back- Thanks Michael!

THINGS TO DO CLOSE BY
Activities & Attractions
Lake James State Park
Within walking distance, Lake James offers boating, swimming and fishing in the beautiful, clear waters of the 6,812-acre lake. There are 25 miles of trails, 15 of which are open to mountain biking.
Beanstalk Ziplines
This is more than a typical zip line experience. Enter the ” Giants” chair, ascend the cargo net, test your nerves as you traverse a swaying suspension bridges 35 feet above the ground.
Linville Caverns
The beauty of our mountains is echoed within Humpback Mountain and visitors are invited to explore the splendor and wonders nature created “inside a mountain”.
