Summit Ember by AvantStay | Scenic Mountain Home + Hot Tub + Firepit + Game tables

Wake up to wide-open mountain views, spend afternoons soaking in the hot tub beneath crisp alpine air, and end your evenings gathered around the firepit as the sky turns gold. At Summit Ember, the experience is as memorable as the setting — a spacious mountain home designed for connection, comfort, and a little friendly competition. The heart of the home is an open-concept living space where everyone can come together with ease. A large sectional faces the stone fireplace and oversized TV, creating the perfect backdrop for movie nights or cozy mornings with coffee. Just steps away, the dining table seats 10 comfortably — ideal for celebratory dinners, holiday feasts, or takeout after a day exploring the mountains. The full kitchen comes stocked with all the essentials, giving you everything you need to cook, serve, and linger a little longer. Downstairs, a queen sleeper sofa adds extra flexibility for larger groups. When it’s time to play, this home delivers. Challenge your group to foosball or ping-pong, gather around the piano for a singalong, or fire up the BBQ for an easy outdoor dinner. Step outside to the hot tub for a soak under the stars, or circle up around the firepit with drinks and stories as the mountain air cools around you. Each of the five bedrooms features a king bed, offering privacy and comfort for up to 12 guests. The primary suite includes a king bed and a private ensuite with a separate shower and jacuzzi tub — a quiet retreat at the end of the day. Four additional king bedrooms provide restful accommodations, while the home’s three additional full bathrooms help ensure smooth mornings for everyone. With 5 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, this home is thoughtfully laid out for groups who want space without feeling spread apart. The location makes it even easier to enjoy the best of the area. The home is just 5 minutes from Lake Junaluska and 5 minutes from beautiful downtown Waynesville, where you’ll find local shops, dining, and small-town mountain charm. Mission Health Waynesville Hospital is only 2 minutes away, and Asheville Regional Airport is about 30 minutes from the property, making arrivals, departures, and longer stays especially convenient. Whether you’re here for hiking, scenic drives, fall foliage, winter snow, or simply uninterrupted time together, this mountain getaway balances natural beauty with built-in entertainment. From the hot tub and firepit to the game tables and fireplace lounge, every detail is designed to bring people closer — with the mountains always in view.
