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 130-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.

Need more rooms? If you need more rooms please see the Wintersun Cottage located on the estate at VRBO.com #907170. This is a beautifully decorated 2000sf home with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths.

Friends Reunion
This property is amazing. Five couples met up for a friend reunion and this location accommodated us perfectly with each couple having their own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen was great for cooking several meals and hanging out. We are already discussing a return trip.

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!

A magical Christmas
We had a wonderful Christmas with our family at Wintersun. The house was beautifully decorated for the holiday and has everything you may need to enjoy your stay. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch by the fire pit in the mornings while deer and the horses grazed. We had some great hikes around the property and nearby. The kids enjoyed roaming the house and rolling down the grass in the front yard. I was slightly skeptical of the number of 5* reviews but everything was true. You can tell that this house is someone’s passion project and an incredible amount of love has gone into it over the years. We would absolutely return and hope to again in the future.

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!

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.

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.
