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.

Our stay was perfect. We enjoyed the various sitting areas inside and out. Appreciated that we could be together but have separate spaces to relax or be alone. Andreas , the chef Judy recommended for one dinner was excellent and so pleasant.
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.
My daughters wanted to come back to the castle! This place is monstrous. There’s plenty of room for everybody to relax, unwind and explore…. Including the dogs!! Bring your bug repellent if you go out on the trails though….. in warm weather there are ticks.
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 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.
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.
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.
The property is so beautiful and comfortable. We enjoyed dinner in the formal dining room, relaxing in the spa, and lounging on the veranda. Judy was friendly and communicative. We will definitely be back!
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.
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.
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.
