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.

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
The perfect gathering spot for friends
Over the top gorgeous and spacious property. Perfect for hiking, lazing around, and hopping in to Asheville to enjoy the art and brewery scene. The almost endless back porch was our favorite spot for breakfast and late-night star gazing and everything in between.
Wonderful location for a small wedding!
We recently had our wedding at the Wintersun and would highly recommend it for smaller events (we had 25, though it can certainly accommodate more!). The 5 bedrooms allowed us to have some family/friends stay a few days with us, while we remained for the whole week to take advantage of all the Asheville area has to offer. The home and grounds are lovely, and we enjoyed taking in the mountain view from the front porch and the waterfall view from the back. We also took advantage of the many walking trails and the frisbee disc golf course.
If you need a caterer, I would also highly recommend Celine & Co. on Broadway. Their food was amazing and the service was impeccable!
4 couples celebrating marriage milestones. From California, Ohio and Atlanta area. Excellent venue.
Upon arrival the house exceeded our expectations. Sitting on the porch and enjoying the view was delightful. 77 degrees when we arrived and 37 when we left but comfortable the whole time. Had a beautiful dinner in the dining room and the dishes for setting a beautiful table were excellent. We kept referring to it as our mini Downton Abbey. Excellent place to celebrate 4 couples 191 years of marriage.
Fabulous home for a family reunion
We were looking for a place where 8 adults, 3 toddlers/babies and a dog could comfortably spend the weekend. Wintersun was absolutely perfect! The grounds were beautiful, with walking trails and lovely views, and the home was both elegant and comfortable. I must admit I was a little nervous that the property would be too formal for toddlers, but it is actually very warm and cozy. We had a chef come in to cook a late dinner for the adults on Saturday, and the dining room was amazing. We're already planning our next trip - I can easily see Wintersun becoming a family tradition.

The biltmore estate is a must see when visiting asheville and only 15 minutes away. Additionally wintersun has an eighteen hole disk golf course that is ranked in the top 10 private courses on the east coast. Instruction is available upon request.
