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.

Sober Disc Golf Trip
Incredible property with a short but interesting history of its development. Custom built to be a resort retreat for Non-Profit executives/employees. Operated as a high end B&B / Inn for over a decade. Every bedroom has a full bathroom and every room has a working gas fireplace. Beautifully landscaped and very well cared for.

Absolutely breathtaking experience
We had an absolutely amazing time staying at Wintersun for a long weekend and an intimate wedding. The grounds and house exceeded all expectations from the listing and our research. The house was truly incredible, offering plenty of room for us to gather together while also providing spaces for privacy. The grounds were breathtakingly beautiful, exceptionally quiet, and peaceful. We will definitely be returning one day in the future and are grateful to Judy for allowing us to use Wintersun for an absolutely incredible weekend.

Amazing property!
We stayed here and hosted a micro wedding on the property (20 people) and it was incredible! The house was large enough to have 10 people stay there plus have additional guests to hangout and didn’t feel crammed. The attention to detail of the property is incredible. Had a great time playing disc golf and walking around. Can’t wait to come back!

Too Much Fun
Another great trip to Wintersun! We love this place! Chilling, hiking, going in to Asheville and doing all the fun stuff there. We even introduced a “Murder Mystery Party” one night at the Manor! That was just too much fun like the rest of the weekend! See you next year!

Wonderful spring weekend
I returned to Asheville for my 30 year high school reunion with a group of close friends. Wintersun was an amazing location that offered so many options. Sitting on the front porch and simply enjoying the views (which included wild turkeys, deer, hawks and a local horse) while catching up with old friends was likely my favorite. The trout filled stream, frisbee golf courses and hiking paths were some of the other enjoyed amenities. Perfect spot and this group will return for sure. Thank you for sharing your beautiful and special property!

Wintersun
We had a delightful stay over a long weekend, facilitated by a courteous and communicative host. The home/inn is lavishly furnished, making for a great place to spend a cold winter night in front of the fire. And a walk around the property on mountain trails, followed by a sit on the front porch is a great way to spend an afternoon. Wonderful place for a (large) family.

Beautiful Wintersun
We just love this property. It is the second time we have stayed at Wintersun. What a comfortable and special place. The hiking trails, labyrinth and evenings on the front porch with the fire pits roaring watching the beautiful mountain sunsets. Close to Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is a very special place. We will be back. Thank you for sharing the Wintersun Inn.

Just Awesome
Stayed with a group of friends to celebrate my brother getting married. We were all constantly blown away by how beautiful the property was inside and out. It was such a wonderful and unique experience for all of us. Originally we had planned to spend more time in asheville but kept delaying those plans because spending time at this place was so hard to beat. Hope to come back.

Best Kept Secret Getaway
Wintersun in Fairview, North Carolina is an exceptional Vrbo estate. The rustic yet modern house is tastefully decorated, spacious, and equipped with all amenities needed. The attention to detail and stunning outdoor space, including a labyrinth for meditation, with breathtaking views, create a truly immersive and unforgettable experience. Conveniently located hiking trails out the front door and minutes away from downtown Asheville, Wintersun is the perfect retreat for a luxurious and tranquil getaway. Highly recommended.

Amazing for Work and Pleasure
Our company has had our annual owner's retreat at Wintersun for the last three years. It is the perfect setting for doing business because there is nothing around to distract you and you don't want to leave because it is so beautiful. It is also the perfect house for people in different families because each room has its own bathroom. It's a wonderful house in a relaxing, beautiful setting.
