Beautiful historic house with an extremely friendly host.

Watch out for the black dog with purple collar feed her a chip you got a friend.

Property and the Owner are Fantastic. Very well kept and clean. Lot of history here. Stay was amazing.

Exceptional Old house is lovely and comfortable—and much more interesting than a hotel! Close to hiking trails and downtown Morganton. Innkeeper is welcoming.

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 Hall's 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.

Lovely, quiet place for a getaway. Owner is great and very accommodating. Recommended some great places to eat nearby as well.

Beautiful facility and Rita is amazing!!!

This quaint bed and breakfast inn was spectacular. The owner, Michael and his sons were very hospitable and made the place feel cozy and right at home. The decor of the whole inn was beautiful. It had a lovely touch of victorian meets country contemporary. The whole property felt safe and with the owner begin near by, nothing felt beyond our reach. I can’t wait to come visit again soon.

Awesome! Despite arriving late we were welcomed by a nice young man who helped us park and took our bags inside. Entering we found a beautifully restored and decorated house that is clean, comfortable, warm and inviting. The queen bed in the Victorian was especially comfortable. Michael, the owner, is awesome! Will definitely come back when visiting the area.

Amazing place, great host. Feel blessed to be able to stay here. Michael is going to make this a world class place, so passionate and dedicated to his mission. Thanks Michael and also his hard working boys!

The whole experience was fantastic Everything was great would recommend

This is a lovely historic home in a beautiful setting. The owner, Michael Gavin, has poured his heart and talents into restoring this property. There is unique beauty in every room. Michael will make you feel special and welcome.

Wow! What a beautiful place for a getaway. Such a peaceful and tranquil setting which is what we wanted and needed! Thank you Michael for an amazing experience! You and your team have outdone yourselves. Can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful Bed and Breakfast with great host!!

We had an amazing 2 night. stay. Michael is an awesome host made us feel right at home. The property is in a beautiful setting full of history and charm. We got to experience staying away in the mountains. We hope to come back some day.

A very cool place for a getaway. You can feel the charm when viewing the house and walking the surrounding grounds. But the charm doesn’t stop when you enter this beautiful home. Each room has unique character, appointed nicely by Michael. I love the location. Private and quiet. My favorite NC lake, Lake James, is just a mile or so away. Tons of hiking opportunities close by.

The old mansion was beautifully decorated. The owner, Michael, has a real flair for design. The furniture and accessories are coordinated to create stunning rooms. I loved the furniture. He is still working on the property which includes several buildings. M

We had a ball, er will definitely return. Michael and his son Matt were great. The house is so beautiful.

I felt compelled to write a review since this was our first overnight stay since the covid pandemic, i’m so glad we chose Bridgewater Hall Historic Inn. I truly felt that Michael took all the precautions and we felt completely safe and enjoyed all the scenery and collectibles the in has.

You will feel so at home from decor to friendliness. Michael has it down to a science. You feel more like family that a guest.

Our 2 night stay was amazing. Michael made us feel right at home. We got to experience what it's like to stay in the peaceful mountains. The property is full of charm and history. We hope to come back some day.

This was my first time to stay in an Inn, it was such a wonderful experience that I know we will be back! I highly recommend Bridgewater Historical Inn! I almost forgot to mention, the setting is gorgeous!

Nice Place for a weekend getaway! A couple parts still a work in progress, would love to come back and see it complete, especially the Chapel. Cozy room with classic charm.

Beautiful Inn at the foothills of the NC Mountains. Thanks for your lovely hospitality, Michael Gavin 🙏💕

Authentic, Comforting, LocationAuthentic-1.) Art and structure Comforting- 2.) Staff makes you feel like you're family.Location -3.) The best begginer/intermediate Mountain biking trail rides at Lake James. Within 30 minutes of Black Mountain. This place is prime for leaving work at work and escaping to home with no worries.

Beautiful location. Love Lake James! Highly recommended for peace and relaxation.

Charming, Peaceful, Great host.

Nice, peaceful and relaxing. Great place. Michael and his sons were extremely nice and helpful. Nothing.

My fiancee and I wanted a small, private, wedding. This was the perfect place. Michael and his sons made everything perfect from the wedding at the gazebo to the photographs they took. Beautiful rushing river, chapel, outdoor fire ring, spacious rooms! A perfect, quaint setting for a romantic weekend!

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.

such a nice historical peaceful place relax and visit

My son stayed here while traveling for work. He said it was just lovely. They even went out and bought a birthday cake for me to surprise my son. Service like that is very rare these days.

I am in love! The house and grounds are exceptional, with every detail beautifully attended to. Michael and his son have truly created a sanctuary for those who visit. I am already planning my next getaway!

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 is my home away from home! I have stayed twice and both times experienced personalized hospitality, service, and accommodations. I strongly recommend!!

Exceptional! Great location, service, accommodations and setting. A sense of history comes together with modern creature comforts. Thanks, Michael -- we'll be back!

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!

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.

This is a lovely historic home in a beautiful setting. The owner, Michael Gavin, has poured his heart and talents into restoring this property. There is unique beauty in every room. Michael will make you feel special and welcome.

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. I would give it a ten out of five stars!!!

Love this place! It has so much charm and character. The owner, Michael, is very warm and friendly and really cares about his guests' experience. He goes the extra mile to make you feel right at home. This is a perfect place to getaway for some rest and relaxation.

Superb Michael (the owner) was extremely gracious and flexible with our check in. The historical significance of the home is interesting. It was a relaxing atmosphere and the B&B is well loved.
