Emerald Gate Farm Cabin w/ On-Site Fishing Pond!

Reviews

• Mountain farm bliss

  5/5

  John is a wonderful host. We found Emerald Gate Farms to be the perfect spot to retreat from the hustle bustle of everyday life. We woke each morning to the simple joy of a coffee, a porch rocker, the awesome sight of a morning mountain emerging from the mist, and the sounds of a babbling creek and the hilarious cacophony of begging waddling ducks eager for the corn meal handout John provides guests. We enjoyed leisurely walks around the ponds, the companionship of the farm's two working Great Pyrenees, Polly and Clyde, and cool evening dinners on the porch with a free sunset show.

  We found the farm's proximity to Waynesville, I-40 W, and Blue Ridge Parkway afforded us and our own Great Pyrenees, Gidget, the opportunity to enjoy downtown strolls, pet-friendly restaurants, a brew pub, sunset mountain picnics, challenging hikes, concerts by the creek, a farmer's market, Lake Junaluska walks, and visits with family and friends throughout the area. We'll be back!

  The views here are beautiful! House is nice and roomy. The front porch is very nice for sitting. Should be noted paper products were not supplied so plan ahead!

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Stephanie, thanks for letting us know about your stay. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they would like to share the following:
  “I am grateful for your positive feedback concerning the quality of our home.
  I take the initiative to personally greet every new guest and ensure they are aware that they can contact me for any reason. My residence is located less than hundred yards from the house, ensuring easy accessibility. We typically have an ample supply of paper towels, and I strive to keep a reserve of toilet paper available. However, I may have let the supply run low. In such instances, guests only need to contact me, and I would have promptly addressed their needs. Additionally, I check on guests after their first night and inquire specifically about any requirements they might have. I am committed to ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay for all our guests. Thank you for choosing our property, and I appreciate your valuable feedback.”

  4/5

  Emerald Gate is a very nice, quiet getaway to the Asheville, NC area. The home was well suited to our needs, spacious and handy to the local and regional activities and sites. Anyone desiring a visit to this area should consider using this home as a center point. The host was very accommodating and was readily available to assist in any way.
