What we enjoyed was the property including the dogs, ducks, hens, roosters and John - the owner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the 13 acre Emerald Gate Farm. John was a real pleasure to get to know and was very kind and helpful. Took us around the property including a Ranger ride to the top of the mountain. Quiet, peaceful setting with beautiful views and a babbling brook with nice small ponds for fishing or relaxing. Large decks around the house and a big two car garage. John was an awesome host and now a friend.
Great views, lovely cabin, super nice host. Thanks for a great time!
We loved our stay on the farm. It’s the perfect mix of mountain views and yard for kids to play in. The owner is so nice and loves to show you around his property. Our kids loved the dogs and feeding the ducks. The view off the porch in the morning while enjoying a cup of coffee can’t be beat!
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.
We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful views in a quiet mountain setting. Not far from Waynesville or Maggie Valley. The owner is really nice and helpful if you have questions.
This property is gorgeous and situated in the beautiful nc mountains - not too far from the cataloochee valley or Maggie valley. JC is a fabulous host and provides many opportunities to learn about life on a farm. My kids enjoyed learning about the livestock, ponds and plants. We were able to pick green beans and raspberries. This was a wonderful experience and we hope we can go back soon.
Emerald Gate Farm was just what I wanted for my week in the mountains with my husband and brother in law and friend. The Farm is well situated where you can enjoy the beautiful mountain view while sitting on the porch drinking your morning coffee and afternoon drinks with family and friends. We enjoyed the farm and loved watching the two dogs patrol the grounds keeping away any predators that might attach the guineas and hens. The babbling brook was intoxicating although you couldn't wad in it due to vegetation growth that grew along its edges. Fantastic grapes, pears, raspberries along with any other seasonal vegetables in John's garden were available to us. We certainly took advantage of his hospitality and enjoyed the fruits and vegetables. Located very close to Waynesville and Maggie Valley was a plus. John, the owner, is on site in his house (not very visible from the VRBO house) and enjoys showing you the property and telling you interesting things about the property and his life as well. We so enjoyed his company and wished we had more time to get to know him. He is very accommodating even taking my brother in law in his ATV to find special wood for his wood carving business. The only downer I can give this wonderful piece of paradise is that the interior of the house is in need of updating. Wall paper is old and the curtains are not in keeping with the rustic appeal of a mountain home. But, keep in mind all four of us are in our early to mid 70's and probably are a little more critical in our thoughts on interior design than younger adults would be. All in all, a most enjoyable experience that we hope to do again. Thank you John. Hope to see you next year.
The property was relaxing especially listening to the brook running through. The dogs are adorable and friendly. Enjoyed the host, and his wonderful garden with cucumbers, potatoes, and onions. Attentive to any issues and felt very safe. Fresh eggs was a nice touch. Enjoyed listening to the roosters, hens, and guineas daily. If rest and relaxation is needed this is the place. Spacious for a family and rustic decor.
Wonderful mountain escape that is still close enough to town for grocery trips. We made easy day trips to a variety of things: hiking, museums, Cherokee Indian Village, train ride, etc. The host is wonderful and willing to teach all about sustainable farm living.
Out of the way, private property with the owner right next door. Lots of animals and great fun for the children - feeding chickens and guinea hens and collecting eggs. Watching the wildlife and mountain storms from the porch... Great time!!
JC is one cool dude living the dream on his farm. And he is more than gracious to share it with you. Fishing pond, fresh eggs from his barn, fire pit for s’mores and two amazingly sweet and a bit kleptomaniac dogs are just some of the things that make his farm awesome. Highly recommended!!
