About this property
Wintersun.. A World Class Private Estate Atop A Mountain 15 min from Asheville
Welcome to your very own piece of paradise only 15 minutes from Asheville, North Carolina where you will enjoy your time away from the cares of this world. Located on a 150 acre gated estate, Wintersun sets itself apart from other mountain homes.
As soon as you drive through the gates, you will pass a rushing trout stream, drive through a lush green valley, cross over the bridge by the trickle down ponds, pass the horses playing in a mountain meadow and drive up and away to the fern and flower-bedecked verandah, which offers a comfortable seat and a breathtaking view.
The environment is a contrast in expansiveness and intimacy. From the verandah mountain ranges recede into smoky blue shadows, while on the arbor side the stone garden climbs 50 feet flanking a 24-foot waterfall surrounded by an enclosed lawn.
Inside the elegant country home are spacious rooms furnished with oriental rugs, antiques, huge stone fireplaces, books galore, with deep chairs and sofas for leisurely pursuits. All 5 of Wintersun's bedrooms are beautifully appointed with fine furnishings, designer fabrics, lush linens, down comforters, private baths, cozy seating, and fireplaces, with fabulous views of the blue ridge mountains.
For disc golf lovers, in addition to 4 miles of private hiking trails there are 2 private disc golf courses which have been rated as one of the best private courses on the east coast.

We booked Wintersun for our wedding, and it was the perfect choice. Every detail of the stay was so well thought out by the hosts. My husband and I immediately felt at home.
We really enjoyed our stay at Wintersun. The front porch was our favorite spot to sit by the fire pits and enjoy the sunsets and mountain view’s. The hiking trails and the labyrinth were also highlights of our stay.
This house is so amazing! Its like the Biltmore on a smaller scale but so incredibly beautiful. So peaceful and the front porch views are nothing short of breathtaking.
This property is breathtaking!! Regardless of the rating I provided for cleanliness, I would stay here over and over again!! I came with 7 other ladies to spend a weekend to celebrate my sisters 60th birthday and Judy worked with me to even allow an earlier check in time. I highly recommend this home and to sit on the porch early with a cup of coffee and just take in the sounds of all the birds and the turkey just living their best lives! Thank you Susan and Judy for this gift that you have provided for everyone to enjoy!! I can’t wait to rebook!! Nancy Green
The pictures don't do this property justice. This was absolutely the best place I have ever stayed. The staff were so friendly, and the grounds are just so very beautiful. I can't wait to go back.
Another great trip to Wintersun! Six years and counting! Judy was awesome as always to work with! It was a little chilly this trip, but that did not keep us inside the entire time. We enjoyed hiking the property and trails as well as the daily walk to the road each morning to get your heart going! Lot's of deer roaming the property. Lots of fun things to do close by and in Asheville,. Our trip to " Little Biltmore" was wonderful and we will be back next year!
Beautiful property, completely private and a house full of character top to bottom! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone traveling with a group.
Thoroughly enjoyed the warm, homey, fully Christmas decorated ambiance of this lovely Inn. The setting was like that of a Hallmark Holiday Card. The owner and property manager were prompt and responsive to our every whim. We will definitely be back. Thank you Judy Carter for having us.
Wonderful mountain property, outstanding views, comfortable, spacious and ideal for my three partners, their wives, my wife and me to gather for our annual get together. We particularly enjoyed having our morning coffee on the huge back deck while watching deer feeding within a stone's throw in front of us. Our hostess was gracious and at our beck and call should we need anything. Would highly recommend and have already booked my return trip.
Everything is so comfy at this house - great location - easy to get to Asheville and beautiful grounds to take walks and enjoy mountain life. Every state room is perfectly appointed.
We love getting away as a family. North Carolina as been one of our favorite places to head. We booked this beautiful home, due to it's location. The home, the grounds, and the homeowners are amazing. The home and the grounds were beautiful, peaceful, and left you not lacking in anything. With in the first hour of being there, we all stated we were staying again, no ifs ands or buts. If you get a chance to stay here, DO IT!, you want be disappointed!
This property was just astonishing! My wife and I have been renting through VRBO for over 10 years and this is one of the top few we have stayed at. Beautiful grounds with great hiking trails.
Great private estate. Felt like a European country house with magnificent views and excellent access to a fun town 10 minutes away (Asheville).
Thank you and looking forward to visiting again.
Amazing property and beautiful place- very responsive hostess/manager. Would recommend a new grill as we planned to grill one evening but it was not as clean as we would have expected so we changed plans.
