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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 is so big you might not see your kids except for mealtime! It's a gorgeous property, but not for those that have troubles walking up hills. We certainly got our exercise exploring the estate! My 13yr daughter had 15,000 steps one day....that'll keep them off the devices!! One of my favorite memories will be sitting on the front porch watching the lightning bugs in the evening with my kids.....they've never seen them before!!

    The host and caretaker were amazing and very responsive. The property was even more incredible than the photos could show. Nothing beats having acres of land to yourself allowing you to laugh loud and enjoy your music late into the evening. Plenty of kitchen space for the private Chef we hired for a speacial dinner.

    Winter sun estate is truly magical! Not only is the setting tranquil with stunning, hiking trails and rolling hills with a magnificent porch front view… It truly feels as if you have stepped back in time with its grand architecture, furnishings and setting. Perfect for hosting multiple family’s and friends as we did for our weeks stay celebrating our friends and family coming in for our sons wedding. We hosted an intimate Rehearsal Dinner which all of our guests really enjoyed . The host has such a beautiful array of dishes, stemware , silverware etc to easily host an elegant dinner party! Beds were comfy with very spacious rooms and en-suite bathrooms that made it perfect for 8 of our family members to move in for the week. We didn’t want to leave! The only “tweaks” I would recommend would be a supply of a few more towels per guest

    We did an extended 13 day stay and enjoyed the property immensely. Judy is easy to communicate with and she went out of her way to upgrade the wifi for us since we were working remotely. The grounds are beautiful for hikes, frisbee golf, or walking with dogs. We’ll likely return.

    We reserved Wintersun to celebrate our mom's 90th birthday. The porches, views, trails, and wildlife made the celebration extra special. We found most of the trails to be very well maintained. Landscaping is also quite impressive. (Nice work, Alex and crew!) We enjoyed seeing wild turkeys on the main lawn each morning/evening. Staff were very responsive and helpful (no problems, just questions!). Neighbors stopped to help us take photographs. I can't wait to go back. Judy and her staff have earned all the accolades possible.

    Wintersun met all our expectations. We were looking for a place where our family could get together and enjoy all that Asheville has to offer and reconnect with friends. The property has many hiking trails and provides plenty of space for guests to enjoy quiet time.
