From the Italian: to ascend, achieve by rising. And you will – on the exhilarating climb to this mountain-top log cabin, and every time you look out from 3,974 feet, up across the valley below or to other distant mountains. No matter how restful your stay, you’ll find yourself greeting the sunrise – then watching the afternoon shadows caress the distant treetops, ideally with a favorite wine or cocktail.

The spacious master suite offers king-size comfort with its ownbalcony and a heated jet whirlpool tub. The Great Room surrounds a beautiful stone chimney with lots of spaces for dining, gaming, chatting and – yes – HDTV or DVD viewing. You can ignore the world, but the WIFI is powerful. The kitchen is fully equipped and overlooks the Great Room so you can cook and visit too, or grill beside the deck (careful not to burn the steaks – the view is very distracting). The master guest room has a king bed. The two additional guest rooms each have a queen bed and share a bathroom. Very comfy for 6 persons.

Please note this house is dog friendly and strictly allows only small dogs 20 pounds or under with a $150 (plus tax) per dog fee. Max two dogs allowed. It is the guest's responsibility to contact the property manager at Maggie Mountain Vacations as there is an additional non-refundable pet fee, not included in the base rent. Unauthorized pets on property will incur a $300 per pet penalty. No cats or other types of pets allowed.

You will love Ascendere so much you might not ever leave, BUT it’s 35 minutes or so to the heart of Maggie Valley, Cataloochee Ski Area (known for being one of the first ski resorts in the US to open each year), Tube World (snow tubing), horseback riding and golfing. In 20 minutes, you can be on Main Street in charming Waynesville or at Ingles and Publix grocery stores, and Walmart.

You’re just 40 minutes from getting on the historic Blue Ridge Parkway or traveling to The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Harrah’s Cherokee Casino, Pisgah National Forest or several golf courses. Just west of Cherokee is Bryson City, home of The Smoky Mountain Railway and “Polar Express” during the Christmas Holiday.

Asheville is an easy drive, with the Biltmore Estate & Winery, Sierra Nevada Brewery and fabulous dining choices. For your outdoorsy side, Transylvania County has amazing waterfalls. Check out white water rafting, gem mining or zip-lining, as well. To the west in Tennessee, you can enjoy Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Dollywood.

    Loved the view and the house. Deck was great. Comfortable beds. We saw raccoon, bear, rabbits and owl while driving though neighborhood. We loved that. Drove Blue Ridge parkway for spectacular views. Visited Waynesville, Dillsboro, Bryson City and Cherokee.Visited local bookstores and thrift shops. Maggie Moutain vacations extremely responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

    It’s a very nice place at almost the very tip of 1000ft mile drive climb. Nice elongated (not in pictures) toilets. Nicely furnished with cold AC. I hope to go back sometime!

    The house was beautiful and quite comfortable. The views from the large deck were amazing. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. Perfect for a quite place to get away from it all.

    Loved staying here! We had everything we needed or wanted, even down to Reynold wrap and zip lock baggies! The gas fireplace was well used on those chilly days. Plenty of seating and comfortable beds. Be prepared for a windy road with switchbacks but well worth it. Would stay here again! Ps, Cold Mountain Toffee was just down the street. Best toffee ever!

    This is a beautiful home with a stellar view. It has been lovingly decorated and the furniture is very comfy for nice evenings by the fire. The kitchen has pretty much anything you might need but make sure you bring your groceries up with you as it is a bit of a trip up and down the mountain to shop. There are also lots of good restaurants who will do the cooking for you! Our bed was very comfy. Don't miss a quiet cup of something warm sitting on the back porch. While the front deck offers a top of the world feeling, the back porch offers anin the woods feel which is so peaceful. We had an issue when we first arrived but it was handled quickly by the Maggie Vacation management and the homeowners. Communication with Maggie Vacation was good. The trip up the mountain was no issue for our jeep, never needed 4 wheel drive but it is a narrow mountain road, after the first trip up, no big deal. Pay attention to the intersections with other roads as turning around on a wrong turn can be a challenge. It's worth the trip. The location is very quiet. We would stay again!

    Great stay at a wonderful property. Enjoyed the views from the deck of the mountains and the home was very comfortable. Perfectly located between Asheville and Smokey Mountain National Park. Really enjoyed the town of Waynesville which was only 15 mins from property. Great town for shopping and eating.
