Beautifully Renovated Historic Bridle Path Inn

This special place is close to everything, making it easy to plan your visit. Hot tub for 8!

The historic Bridle Path Inn (one of Asheville's original 13 Bed and Breakfasts) was recently lovingly renovated, and is now available for your short-term stay! Incorporating high-end finishes and all the modern amenities you would expect while still keeping the original charm intact - including the original Battery Park Hotel glass doors to the veranda, enormous stone stacked wood burning fireplace and arched wood casings. The ambiance is luxurious yet welcoming, especially for large groups or families.

There are 4 bedrooms, all with King size beds and en-suite bathrooms (2 walk-in showers and 2 shower/tub combos), flanking a grand open living room with plenty of space to cozy up to the 19th century wood burning fireplace to enjoy coffee, cocktails or game nights. Large dining table that seats 10 to enjoy meals and make memories, right off the newly expanded kitchen (equipped with all new appliances including 36" range) with soaring floor to ceiling windows to enjoy views of downtown, and the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.

The expansive wrap-around porch invites you to take in the city lights of downtown, the mountains and the natural beauty all around you. Located in a quiet neighborhood with a short hike to access miles of trails along Horizon Hill and only 1.5 miles to downtown Asheville (not to mention, 1.5 miles from the Grove Park Inn and only 2.5 miles to the Biltmore Estate). Come enjoy this historical home while taking advantage of the rare proximity to Asheville and all it has to offer!

The space is the entire upper floor of the building. There are two units below the Airbnb unit. The the tenants are very nice, and are long-term. There are NO shared living spaces, and Airbnb tenants have access to their own washer/dryer.

Key pad access is given to guests with check-in instructions.

Tucked into the North Asheville mountainside just above UNCA in an established neighborhood just 5 minutes from downtown. Closest mountain to town!

Plenty of parking! Uber is always the best bet if you are partaking in our incredible brewery scene : )
Very bike-able into town or the River Arts District (RAD)

There are 4 king beds, 4 baths, and a fold out queen sofa. We do have a queen blow up mattress as well should you need it. Thanks!

Warm and inviting.
We could not have had a better family experience. The house was beautiful. My daughter in laws and I loved how the home was decorated. So cozy, comfortable and warm. The hot tub was enjoyed by all. We considered the weekend a true blessing.

Good, Spacious Stay in Asheville
We had a good stay in Asheville at the Bridle Path Inn. Enjoyed the location and space the house offered, also all bathroom are updated which was really nice. Pros include location, historic factor, character of the house and space. Cons include no counter space in bathrooms, lacking some basic items and the closets used as storage for their house things instead of leaving room for guests to hang their clothes and things. Manager was responsive for the needs we had and helped. While it did feel older, if you want a unique spot in Asheville with character and history, not just a cookie cutter rental, this is your place!

Perfect for our group!
We were 7 adults and 2 teenagers, with ages ranging from 16-86 (!) but also had local family members join at the house for dinners and catching up on the terrace. Had a great time. House was clean and comfortable. Did some hiking in the trails behind. Close to town and Biltmore estate.

part great part not so great
The location and overall house were great and it was wonderful to be able to stay with a large group of friends. That being said, when we arrived there was trash strewn all over the side of the house in front of the kitchen window, obviously from a bear or raccoon (we saw both). This can happen and we understood. We contacted the manager via the app who said he would clean it up but it wasn't done until the next day. Whenever we looked out the kitchen door/window, we saw nasty trash (used diapers, chicken wings, partial pieces of pizza, etc) and we couldn't use the hot tub. Plus, raccoons frequented the feast. What we couldn't understand is that this happened 2 more times - nothing was done to secure the trash and the raccoons became regulars so we couldn't use the hot tub and had to eat a certain way in the kitchen so as to avoid the trash. I tried to call the manager but the advertised phone number didn't work. We have been assured of a partial refund for the inconvenience, which is nice, although we haven't received it yet. Hopefully they can rectify this issue for future visitors for an otherwise great place.

Charming Place to Stay!
We stayed here for a girls trip to Asheville and it was a great space for a big group! The house is spacious and charming and very comfortable for our group of 8. A few drawbacks were that some of the rooms do not have closets and the bathroom sinks are all very small. It is a little tricky to find down a dirt road and is located about 10 minutes from downtown Asheville. Overall a great stay!

Incredible retreat
Incredible place to stay for my group of ten guests (including friends and family)--with its huge wide open central space it truly has a "wow" factor that I haven't seen at any other property. Beautiful updated furnishings alongside antiques in space with historic character. The large wraparound deck had amazing mountain views too! We were there to celebrate my sister's upcoming marriage and she was speechless at what an incredible space it was. My only comment is that the listing advertises a "fold out queen sofa," and as best as we can tell this has been replaced by one that only folds into a twin bed. We consulted with the owner's assistant and that is the conclusion we reached. There are more air mattresses than advertised, but if there is no longer a fold-out queen sofa then that part of the listing should be updated.

AMAZING stay at Bridle Path Inn!
I cannot say enough how perfect this Inn was for our trip of four couples to Asheville! I received kudos ALL weekend from everyone because I was the one who found the listing and booked it. I knew it looked fabulous online, but seeing it for real was just incredible! The location was perfect for close by shopping, restaurants, breweries, galleries and everything we wanted to do. The Inn itself is just stunning! We loved the ambiance of the space...so warm and inviting! The first night we gathered under the heaters on that wonderful wrap around porch and just talked and laughed ourselves silly. The four bedrooms are just lovely and the beds were so comfortable. The bathrooms are nicely appointed and cozy. The full kitchen, the wood stove, the jacuzzi all added to our wonderful stay. The last night we all snuggled in front of the fireplace/stove on the super sized leather sofa and told stories and procrastinated going to bed because none of us wanted to leave! Such a FABULOUS, FABULOUS accommodation and I so hope I have the chance to visit again in the future!

Exceeded our expectations!!
We loved everything about this place!! We had 7 ladies on a Biltmore Christmas trip and this place was beautiful. We ended up spending more time here just catching up in the many different sitting areas then hitting the town. Beautifully decorated and so convenient to town. The highlight was watching the Bruno the Black Bear from the comfort our kitchen. Would come back again for sure!!

Marvelous Family Getaway Location
Our family group of eight mature women from around the country convened in Asheville for one of our periodic reunions, and this was the perfect house! We loved the well-stocked and large kitchen as well as several “gathering” places such as the high top table in kitchen for breakfast, the large dining room table, the THREE seating areas in the living room, and the huge front porch that were perfect for conversations among a small group or our entire group of eight. The view from the front porch off to the west at sunset made it a great spot for wine and cheese and conversation in early evening. The beds were very comfy and the bathrooms have all been remodeled in the past few years, several with huge walk-in showers. It’s a short jaunt to all that Asheville has to offer, yet since located up in the hills, it also feels very private and protected. Collin stopped by when we had a question about the outdoor heaters and was very friendly and accommodating. We all had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend when visiting Asheville!

We had a great time and the check in process was simple and convenient. Communication was great and the team was able to respond quickly and resolve any questions we had. It is definitely a place for a quiet, relaxing and comfortable trip away from bright lights of the city and other people visiting Asheville. Nature is truly all around you. Thank you for everything.

We were blown away by the house! The history of the 100 year old house combined with the new features was awesome. We had the best of both worlds being in a house with a beautiful Mountain View just a few miles away from the downtown. The owner was very responsive. We will definitely be coming back to this property.

Amazing Home for Large Families & Conveniently Located
The home is a beautifully appointed property with all of the creature comforts of your own home. It has the best-stocked kitchen I've ever seen which includes spices and oils. The kitchen is also stocked with 20+ sets of dishes, glasses, cups, and flatware. The dining room is large enough to accommodate 20+ guests and does not feel cramped. The porch is also lovely, and we used it every day and night. With the cool breezes coming up the hill, it made for a wonderful setting to relax with family. We expect to rent this property when we return to Asheville in 2025.
