I was attracted by the award winning gardens with a water feature, which were stunning. The orchids in the greenhouse and the entryway were very unusual and I enjoyed seeing some of the trophies they have won discretely displayed in a glass breakfront in the solarium. The 3 course gourmet breakfasts were served in the formal dining room on fine china with close attention to our every need by the servers, yet the atmosphere and dress were casual, friendly and informative about local sights and worthwhile hikes and restaurants. We enjoyed the other guests and the hosts so much that we arranged to be home in time for the afternoon wine and appetizer gathering by the water fountain and fire circle. I have to admit I regularly sampled the triple chocolate cake and diet coke always available in the solarium. My husband preferred the sugar cookies, coffee and several newspapers. We both enjoyed skyping our son from the sitting room and toasting him with the Amaretto available there. I had never seen a player grand piano and found it genially announcing that breakfast was ready to be served a charming touch. We were in the smallest room, the Dorothy Parker room and found it spacious and beautifully appointed. We had the best intentions of using the new and high quality exercise equipment and sauna but somehow never found the time. We have stayed a a number of outstanding B&Bs all over the country including Alaska and Hawaii and this easily ranks among the best we have had the pleasure of experiencing.
The Best B&B in Asheville!

I was in town for a few days recently and had the good fortune to stay at what I think is the best bed and breakfast in Asheville. There are so many options in Asheville but the welcoming staff at WhiteGate Inn immediately made me realize I made the right decision. The 3-course breakfast will be the highlight of your day featuring delicious food and lively conversation. The inn is perfectly situated just a short walk from downtown, but quiet and peaceful. If there weren’t so many amazing activities in the area I would not even leave the room. It is immaculately clean and exceedingly comfortable. Make sure you don’t miss out on the serene gardens and enjoy a stroll or guided tour through the greenhouse with hundreds of orchid plants. I can’t wait to return to Asheville and when I do I will definitely be coming back to the folks at WhiteGate.
good food, ok bedroom

The Good: Food and ambiance were great. The Bad: Room was not as I expected (Carl Sandburg). Especially considering that I specifically asked about a TV, the support staff for the owners should have explained that the TV was not in the bedroom. Will probably will try a different B&B next time.
Wonderful Experience!

The entire experience was terrific. The interaction with Frank , Ralph and the staff was so pleasant. Our vist was as comfortable as being with old friends. The location was perfect for seeing the exciting events and all the unique shops in town. We will be sure to visit again whenever in Asheville.
