The short course (11 holes) can be played in 1 hour, while the long course (18 holes) takes about 3 hours and has 4 miles of fairways.

The kitchen is completely furnished with cooking utensils, coffee maker, microwave, stove, 2 ovens, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, flat ware, plates, glassware, serving platters, cookware, and pots and pans. There is also a washer and dryer.

The downstairs family room has a large screen TV with a large sofa and leather chairs and a kitchenette with a stove and refrigerator for beverages and snacks. There is one bedroom downstairs with a king bed and a full bath. linens supplied. The downstairs dining room is decorated with an antique table and can seat 8 comfortably.

Disc golf getaway
We came up here for a disc golf bachelor party with my buddies and it did not disappoint at all. Property was fantastic and had tons of sleeping arrangements that suited all 8 of us just fine. Were all wanting to come back again next year. The courses were wonderful and definitely got some steps in from them! Thank you for letting us stay there.

Favorite Family Vacation
This is our 3rd or 4th trip to Wintersun. It is one of our favorite places to come and relax.... The property is beautiful and we love hiking on the estate trails. We also love that we can bring our dog. It is nice to find a property that will comfortably accommodate a big group. We will definitely be back!

A unique experience I hope to repeat!
“I wish this place was closer to home!” was the most common sentence I heard during our weekend visit. We had a great time during our stay at this gem of a spot! Any time I’m planning an Asheville trip I’ll be making the extra drive to Fairview (and bringing my discs).

Peaceful location
We 7 cousins (all “seniors” in age only) enjoyed 4 nights at the cottage. Very comfortable, well equipped kitchen, walkable trails right at the back door. We enjoyed the Biltmore experience and lunch at the Grove Park Inn, both within 20 minutes of the cottage. We recommend this rental!

Our favorite place in the mountains!
I chose to spend my birthday at this wonderful house with my family. It is our 7th time staying here. We love the beautiful setting and great paths to walk around the property. My husband and sons love the disc golf and our dogs love wading in the steam. We also love how easy it is drive into Asheville and the great communication with Judy and Susan, the owners. Can’t wait for our next visit!

Cozy, Beautiful, and surrounded by Nature
Everyone loved the house and grounds. Hard to believe you can be so close to Asheville but have this much nature around you. The house is very well equipped, beautifully decorated, and sits in a pasture filled with wildlife. Wake to birds singing, watch the Turkeys feed, then walk around the expansive property. Western NC at it's very best!

Amazing Property
We absolutely love staying at Judy’s cottage. We are local and find this is such a great getaway just far enough from town that you feel like you’re not an home anymore. The cottage has everything you need. The beds are super comfortable and the disc golf is awesome. Judy is very responsive and has been so accommodating. We’ll be back in the fall for sure.

Knitters week-end retreat
Wonderful weekend. It ended up being 4 of us, women of age. The bedroom situation was perfect because 2 of the women have difficulty with stairs. It is hard to find a house with more than one bedroom on the main floor, but this one has three! Beautiful, quiet setting! The trees were turning colors…it was Heavenly!

Wonderful stay once again!
This is our 6 or 7th time staying at this house. We love it! My husband and sons love to play disc golf and fish in the stream. We all love to hike around the beautiful trails with our dogs and then relax around the fire pit in the evening. We love the proximity to Asheville's breweries restaurants and shopping. There's no other house like it with so much to do right at the house.
