Overview
Exquisite 5 Bedroom 5 1/2 Bath English Country Estate On 117 Beautiful Acres
Welcome to your very own piece of paradise in Asheville, North Carolina where you will enjoy your time away from the cares of this world. Located on a 135-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 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.

The entire Mason family loved Wintersun Inn!
My husband and I used VRBO to browse properties in the Asheville area of North Carolina. When we found Wintersun Inn we were smitten. We knew it would be perfect to bring our four grandkids and their parents to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. We were not disappointed when we arrived. The house was so perfect. It was beautifully furnished with the finest details. The property and surrounding scenery were better than we could have imagined. The children enjoyed the disc golf offered right on the property. The hill in front of the house provided space for games and hill-rolling activities. We all enjoyed sitting on the front porch taking in the scenery and were lucky enough to be there for the eclipse of the sun. We cannot say enough to do Wintersun Inn it's due justice. We would return and highly recommend it to others.
Amazing in every way
Return visit. House, grounds, owners are all fabulous! Will return again. Rocking on the porch, gazing at the scenery and horses soothe the soul. Easy access to Asheville. Celine and Company catered a wonderful dinner for 10 in the elegant dining room. All good.
Wonderful property!
Our family of 7 adults and two children had a fabulous time at Wintersun. This is a remarkable property that you really have to see to believe! Comfortable beds, baths for everyone, porch space galore for sitting and enjoying the views. Our dogs were in heaven with so much property to explore. While a little distance from downtown Asheville, it was great to come home to Wintersun each day and feel like you were in your own little world. Highly recommend!
Even better than hoped for
The house, the setting, the furnishings, the art, and the "everything you need" items made this a perfect trip for the four couples that spent 5 nights here together. We hiked the trails, had breakfast on the porch each morning, cocktails each evening, and enjoyed the lightening bugs and stars every night. Ocassionally in life you find a jewel that is better than you expected and this was it. Comfortable beds, private baths for each room, and everything in the house worked. We had dinners catered by The Corner Kitchen and the food was very good with enough to have lunch the next day. Judy the owner was a delight to work with.
This is an absolutely unbelievable vacation/retreat property
We came to Wintersun to celebrate a family member's milestone birthday, and we were blown away by the facilities, the ambiance, the location, the hospitality (Judy has thought of everything one could need to have a luxurious stay). We had a fabulous catered birthday meal from Asheville caterer Celine and Company, who are very familiar with the property and the facilities, and enjoyed cooking ourselves in the well-appointed kitchen.
The decorating in all the rooms is straight out of a designer magazine and incredibly detailed and tasteful. All the appliances are top of the line and functional. We played disc golf, walked and ran the miles of trails, watched a swarm of fireflies and listened to the song of bullfrogs from the veranda at night, admired the rhododendrons, enjoyed meeting the dogs and horses. The story of the house is most inspiring - originally a retreat center for non-profit human service organizations and now a wellspring of refreshment for those fortunate enough to find it. We only stayed for three days this time - all of us agreed to come back for a longer stay next year. This is the perfect place for a special family event, small retreat, family reunion, or for any group that wants to enhance their cohesion by sharing a magical space.
Birthdays Celebration Weekend
Our visit was fantastic! The grounds in the house were beautiful. They far exceeded our expectations. Our group had a wonderful time and doing all the amenities in the nature surrounding the Estate 🏡?. We will go again in a heartbeat and were very grateful to them thoughtful owners to obviously attend to detail. We had everything we could possibly need while we were there. Thank you very much
