Magnolia is located at the highest point of Willow Winds. It is only steps from the forest of the Blue Ridge Parkway, as well the Mountains-to-the-Sea Trail. From its large deck there is a great view of the Blue Ridge Mountains, as well as a commanding view of the gardens and fountains below.

Magnolia is the only cabin that features 3 levels of living space. It has two spacious bedrooms on the lower level and a sleeping loft above the great room. It includes an extra large great room with soaring cathedral ceilings and large windows for viewing the scenery below. This large Asheville cabin is ideal for larger families, and its special decorations and amenities make it ideal for a memorable vacation experience.

Comments from our guests

Good Friends, Good Food, and Fun. Memories are wonderful and plentiful in the little home away from home.

We had a great stay at Jessie’s. It was clean, nice staff & gave us enough room for all three families that came with us. We got to see the Mother bear and her 3 cubs early in the morning. I recommend Chimney Road, Pisgah Forest and of course, Biltmore….We truly enjoyed our visit and the staff at Willow Winds.

We had a wonderful time & are very sad to be leaving. We will definitely return. The weather was perfect & the house spectacular. The owners have pre-considered our every need & we wanted for nothing. Loved the deck & the hot tub watched a ton of movies & just relaxed. We could not have asked for a better vacation. We also saw a mother bear & her three cubs last night (from the safety of a window). Very Exciting!

We planned a girlie weekend away from our spouses, children, and pets, etc….We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!! We loved the peaceful environment, the serenity, the view was intriguing!
You could hear the birds chirping & singing, hear the fountain beneath us. We loved the fact that although you’re in a secluded & private area, that we were so conveniently located to downtown Asheville & grocery stores, & restaurants…..It was a time of laughter, sisterly love, peace, and Joy. Also a sharing of the matters of our hearts. We’re definitely planning trips for our girl weekends and also trips for our spouses for us to be able to bring them up here fir just a romantic weekend for the two of us.
Willow Winds will be a part of our families for a lifetime. You have thought of everything. Thanks for the superior service.

Coming from stress, phones, kids, work, & life in the fast lane. “Willow winds” was like dying and going to heaven. Nestled in “Another world”, the charm and peace of your house was just what we needed. It more than met our expectations, & released us from using time to plan our day. We relaxed, & did as the spirit moved us. Thanks for a very pleasant memory and hope to return again soon!

This is my second trip to Willow Winds and this time I talked my family into coming. I first came last year with two friends from high school and I fell in love with Willow Winds. We stayed in Don’s Den. Since this time I’m coming with my two sisters, my 87 year old mom & my brother in law I picked Jessie’s Magnolia. I truly is the “Queen of the Hill” !! No one has had more fun than my 9 yr old nephew. He loves the Biltmore, the hot tub, the DVD’s, and the games on the grounds…..Willow Winds is the BEST and I hope we make this a family tradition. I went to sleep with the sound of the rain on the hot tub cover and woke up to the sounds of birds chirping. A cute squirrel begged some peanuts from me this afternoon on the deck. My brother in law saw a fresh bear print in the mud this morning. WOW where else can you have a mixture of nature and luxury?! We LOVE Willow Winds and Jessie’s Magnolia.

Found Willow Winds on the internet, looked very nice. After talking to office personnel on phone we decided to give it a try. The woman we talked to was very friendly and accommodating. We originally booked Mike’s Place for my wife and myself, daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren but decided to ask my 83 year old mother to accompany us, so we changed to Jessie’s Magnolia. So glad we decided to stay here! The staff was wonderful, and the house was beautiful, large and very comfortable.
My mother caught her first fish, weather was actually perfect (70’s) and we had a great time. Thanks again! Frank, Shirley, Helen, Sean, Kristal, Quincy, & Sidney
