Thank you John, Frank & Ralph...our stay was delightful! Home is beautiful & the breakfast was out of this world. We had the pleasure of experiencing the Walt Whitman Suite & The Ralph Waldo Emerson Suite. Both were very spacious with wonderful fireplaces & bathrooms. If you crave a truly beautiful bathroom with steam shower, the Walt Whitman should be... More

From the moment John greeted us and checked us in, we knew we had made the right choice. The house was decorated so beautifully for the holiday and the cottage, where we stayed with our dog, was also done up for Christmas, including a fully decked out tree and stocking hangers for the ones we had brought from home.

My Mother, Sister, & I came to Ashville, N.C. to visit the Biltmore Estate for the Christmas Holiday Season. We are new to the Bed & Breakfast scene but are out to adventure more options due to Mom's health. We felt right at home and the Bungalow (Joyce Kilmer Suite) was the greatest. Very comfortable and warm and decorated for... More

This was our second stay at the beautiful 1889 Whitegate Inn & Cottage. We returned this year after a dear friend introduced us to Frank and Ralph's wonderful hospitality last holiday season. On this trip we stayed in the Joyce Kilmer Suite which has two bedrooms, one (very large) bathroom, living room and full kitchen with a wonderful front porch... More

My wife and I stayed here for my 40th birthday last weekend and had a really great time. We're not regular B&B guests per se, although we've chosen a select few and we've had incredible experiences. WhiteGate was no exception. It sounds cliche, but we felt very at home instantly. We were both very overworked and stressed when we arrived,... More

First of all, this property is beautiful. Lots of attention to detail. The garden is amazing with waterfalls, fountains, and a fire pit. We stayed in the Robert Frost Room, which was the original master bedroom. Lots of room, comfortable, and nice furnishings. Breakfast was first class and the owners came to join us, even though they do not live... More

We had a wonderful stay here this past month. Kudos to Frank and Ralph for their attention to detail; everyone here on staff is just super attentive, polite and service oriented. We stayed in the Emily Dickenson room and just loved the location. Easy distance to downtown and access to all areas. The house as a whole is comfortable, warm... More

In celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary, we stayed at the WhiteGate Inn. The Oscar Wilde suite was very comfortable and private. We thoroughly enjoyed the gourmet breakfast as well as the social hour which gave us the opportunity to get to know our hosts, Frank and Ralph, their adorable dogs, Ida Mae and Striker, and converse with some of...
