Bridlewood Farm
Tucked into the rolling hills of Mills River, Bridlewood Farm is a serene escape where comfort meets connection. Set on nearly five acres, this spacious retreat invites guests to slow down and savor panoramic views of Mount Pisgah, Craggy Pinnacle, and Asheville’s skyline. With vaulted ceilings, a real stone fireplace, and a gourmet kitchen anchored by a 96-inch island, the home blends rustic charm with modern touches. Whether soaking in the outdoor hot tub, gathering by the fire pit, or lounging on the expansive deck, every corner of this property is crafted for rest, togetherness, and unforgettable mountain sunsets. Beyond the main house, an upgraded entertainment barn offers endless fun with games, a 75-inch HDTV, and a welcoming dining area. Guests will find adventure just beyond the property line—from hiking and fly fishing in Pisgah National Forest to exploring nearby breweries like Sierra Nevada and Bold Rock. Wildlife sightings, from curious deer to rare white squirrels and the resident woodchuck named Bob, add a whimsical touch to the experience. Ideally located between Asheville and Brevard, Bridlewood Farm is the perfect home base for discovering the best of Western North Carolina.
