Our stay was perfect for honeymooners or s couple looking to get some time together. Frank made a delicious 3 course breakfast that we loved! Our room room had an amazing set up including a jacuzzi with a view and a bed that you could get lost in. Ralph has created a garden that created a perfect ambiance. Looking to... More

What a find! We are so glad that we chose this Inn for our anniversary trip to Asheville. The WhiteGate Inn was a wonderful experience from the moment we checked in. The owners and staff offered gracious hospitality every step of the way from check in to departure. We stayed in the Maya Angelou suite which was well-appointed, roomy, very... More

This was our 3rd or 4th visit to The White Gate Inn and we love it every time. The main reason we started to stay here was the fact that it is so close to downtown, just a few blocks and there you are! But then the gardens became a big part of our experience. We love sitting in the... More

After several days on the road we sank into the luxurious hospitality with gratitude, arriving late to find the lights on and a fire waiting to be lit. Breakfast was fabulous, both the food and the laughter. Don't miss this one!

My wife and I traveled to Asheville for business and shared the Joyce Kilmer Suite in one of the cottages (yes, apparently Joyce Kilmer has more than just a rest stop on the NJ Turnpike). The suite was quite spacious with our own kitchen, dining area, and living room in addition to the two bedrooms and one bathroom (with jacuzzi... More

My husband and I selected this inn as a long weekend getaway. We made a very good selection. The inn was very nice. The staff and owners were attentive to our needs and questions. We truly enjoyed the three course breakfasts, and the wine and appetizer hour in the garden was relaxing. I took many pictures in the gardens, I... More

This visit was a disaster from the very beginning. I received a coupon from my daughter for this stay (mid-week) and called the Inn to reschedule for a weekend (with an upcharge, of course). I had to call twice and was refused any alternative for my mid-week stay (regardless of the additional payment). When I finally arrived at the Inn... More

When you brought your concerns to us about our evening assistant (He was not our Assistant Manager), we immediately addressed the situation and fired that employee. Please accept our sincerest apologies. You came to us via a limited run gift certificate that was set to expire, and we did everything we could to accommodate you. Our Guest Cottage is original...

There was not any one available to check us in for over 15 minutes. When Frank did arrive he did not apologize and was very grumpy. We stayed in the Maya Angelou Suite at $359 per night. It was not a Motel 6, but was very dirty and dumpy. We asked for new sheets to replace the stained ones and... More

As a AAA Four Diamond Inn, we hold a high standard for the cleanliness of our rooms. Our housekeepers strive for perfection. If you read our other reviews, The Maya Angelou Suite is one of our most popular and highly rated units. We are sorry that you felt you were not accommodated properly.

Being as this was our first time staying in a b&b we really didn't know what to expect. Turns out this was a very enjoyable stay. Frank made our stay very entertaining to say the least. The breakfast was very good and obviously a lot of hard work went into the preparation. If only there had been a recliner in... More

Our visit to Asheville was a first, so having a comfortable B&B to welcome us to this unique city was important. The WhiteGate was the perfect haven for our visit. We had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with the innkeepers and the very capable staff. Ralph Coffey, the quiet partner, is nicely matched with the enthusiastic and entertaining... More
