We had a family and friends reunion with five couples at Wintersun July 1-8, 2018. From the moment we arrived we were all in awe of this place! The pictures really do not do this property justice. The high ceilings, gorgeous crown moldings, spacious rooms, the incredible veranda with tons of seating and the beautiful, elegant decor made everyone feel like they were in the lap of luxury. The kitchen is big enough for a couple cooks at the same time, and the pantry is huge! Coffee and condiments were included and much appreciated. Beds were very comfortable; we loved that every room had its own bathroom complete with towels, soap and other amenities so each couple had privacy.

The waterfall was the perfect backdrop for a vow renewal for one of our couples who celebrated their 50th anniversary. We then enjoyed a catered dinner (Celine and Company) in the lovely dining room. There is so much beautiful server ware in the house that the table was truly elegant when set.

Once we all got there we never wanted to leave! We were going to ride the great motorcycle roads around the area but ended up staying at the house mostly, with only one night dining out, one white water rafting trip and one visit to Biltmore, the rest of the time we just enjoyed being together at the house.

There are a few things we wished were different, fans on the porch would have been great, the welcome book is terrific but the oven had us all befuddled as did some of the light switches and waterfall controls. The refrigerator is a sub-zero and has a 20 second vapor lock that is annoying, you take something out, turn around to put it back and have to wait to open the door again. Lighting over the stove could be brighter. These are trivial complaints and would not discourage us from returning! When we lost power in a storm the generator automatically kicked in and Judy came up right away to make sure all was well. They could not have been more gracious hosts!

Other guests:

"The house in general, the view, porch, waterfall, decor, size, bedding was all top of the line, loved the in house speakers, the grounds and the books. They really need fans and more towels (we had 2 bath and 2 hand total) as well as repairing the broken slats on the plantation shutters in the master. If I hadn’t had my sleep mask I'd have to had hung something up as it came right in my face. Brighter lights in the master vanity. But overall amazing and will be back!"

So thank you Judy, we will be back!
