this house was the perfect place for our family stay. plenty of space, bathrooms and 2 kitchens really came in handy. great location for our family wedding.
Wonderful property and great location. Perfect for an extended family or a group of friends. We had tons of space to hang out and a beautiful big yard to enjoy! Highly recommend
Wintersun is always a beautiful stay and oasis I feel lucky to visit. Judy and team are responsive, yet always allow you to explore the property and enjoy yourself. Hidden gem, so visit and keep visiting... quietly.
We had the best time at this property. The grounds are immaculate, the house is clean, and it feels secluded while being close to everything. If you like disc golf, the courses were excellent. And the on site hiking was wonderful! Loved it.
We do a guys trip to Wintersun every year for disc golf. The course is awesome and the cottage is always perfect. This year they had to deal with the hurricane and did a great job of clearing out the debris and cleaning up the property.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
Wintersun was the perfect place to enjoy our Thanksgiving with family and friends! The house was so cozy and comfortable and big enough for all our 11 guests. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas! The house was well-equipped for all our needs and the grounds were beautiful. My brother brought his fly-fishing rods and tried out the trout stream. We really enjoyed the natural gas fire pit outside! Plus it was great to take our dogs! We will definitely rent Wintersun again. Judy was a great host and so easy to work with.
The cottage was such a surprise. We were looking for a nice place to snuggle in with our son who is a freshman at UNCA and we stumbled on Wintersun. The disc golf course drewme in, but wow! I had no idea we would be staying on our own private preserve with miles of hiking trails to explore! It could not have been a more perfect fit for us. Another bonus is that it is dog friendly. Our son was able to reconnect with his girl, Gertie!
My friends and I have for the past 5yrs had a private disc golf tournament. Since the IDGH in Appling, GA. was under construction we ventured out to different locations.
We found this gem! It was fantastic and accommodated us perfectly. Every room has a gas fire place, the kitchen was big enough for all of us, and the front porch was the perfect setting to have morning reflections. The short course was great, however, the long course is extremely difficult (we are all intermediate level players); but we still had a lot of fun and they were well maintained with nice baskets. The only complaints I had were the hot tub never got warm, and the grill was very underwhelming. Super close to a grocery store!
Loved being away from Asheville but close enough to visit! Great breweries and food around, great property, big enough for 2 families to enjoy and spread out
This property is breathtakingly beautiful and relaxing. We can't imagine a better place to stay when we come to the Asheville area. The house is well appointed and the land is a serene spot to walk and enjoy !
This is the third time my book club has stayed at Wintersun Cottage. We love it for the location. Easy access to Asheville and Black Mountain. Also love exploring all the trails on the property.
The property is beautiful! It is well manicured with lots of wooded area. We enjoyed the outdoor space as well as the comfortable inside. Lots of hiking trails. Certainly would stay there again!
Group of us went to explore Asheville breweries and play some disc golf. Cottage was fantastic and had plenty of room for everyone. Disc golf course was awesome and the property was beautiful! Very well maintained. Would be happy to stay here again!
