Have a family or group gathering coming up? Why not rent one great big mansion so everyone can stay under one roof? The Westglow Mansion, built in 1917 as the summer home to famed artist and writer, Elliott Daingerfield, is now listed on AirBnB.com as a full-house rental for family or small group gatherings. Just imagine having your own circa 1917 mansion on top of the mountain for a vacation!
The Westglow Mansion is located in the Highlands of North Carolina just outside of Blowing Rock, one of the most visited small towns in the area.
Maybe you've heard of the famous Westglow Resort & Spa. Well, the historic manor house (a mansion, really) is part of the spa's collection of properties which makes it even more special that you can now rent the entire mansion for a vacation.
From the home's enormous portico on the south side of the structure, you'll have awesome views of the Johns River Gorge. Extensive beautiful gardens surround the dwelling.

And to the west, you'll be able to sip a glass of wine and watch the sun go down behind Grandfather Mountain.
Inside the historic home, signs of Elliott Daingerfield still abound. There are original furnishings as well as some of Daingerfield's original artwork. Seen here, the Blue Ridge Parlor will be famously popular if you have a piano player in your group. Still, it's just one of the many rooms in which to gather at the end of the day.
As a Relais & Chateaux luxury resort, Westglow has hosted Presidents, famous celebrities and more who sought out the manor for its opulent atmosphere and private setting.
Westglow Mansion has a total of six bedrooms with six adjoining baths. An additional three half baths are also found throughout the dwelling. The listing says the home can easily accommodate up to 14 guests.
Check out the mansion’s AirBnB.com listing for a list of all amenities as well as the current nightly rate. Westglow has a few other homes on the large property where guests can also stay. In fact, the spa has a package called, “The Buyout,” that allows you to rent the entire estate (which includes three homes – including this mansion) which sleeps up to 28 guests. Imagine hosting a small, intimate wedding here and having everyone stay at the estate… or, how about a family Christmas gathering with the kids and all of the grandchildren in one place?!
