Rise Above the Ordinary
Redefined Stays. Remarkable Destination.
Ascent is a design‑forward micro‑resort set above the Meadow River Valley, offering an immersive luxury glamping experience just minutes from New River Gorge National Park.
Set on 44 secluded acres of forested ridgeline, Ascent blends architectural beauty with untouched nature — cliffside views, complete tree coverage for privacy, and a sense of quiet that feels worlds away. With eight thoughtfully crafted and unique one‑bedroom units, Ascent is built for couples, solo travelers, and groups seeking a refined, nature‑rich escape in one of West Virginia’s most breathtaking landscapes.

Accommodations
Tucked into the trees, the Chalet will bring a cozy, European‑inspired aesthetic to the West Virginia wilderness. With warm wood tones, architectural lines, and a sense of deep forest privacy, this one‑bedroom hideaway is ideal for guests who want a more grounded, cabin‑in‑the‑woods feel without sacrificing modern luxury.

Chalet
Two striking mirrored ÖÖD houses will sit near the cliff’s edge, reflecting the surrounding forest and sky while opening to panoramic views of the Meadow River below. Floor‑to‑ceiling glass blurs the line between indoors and out, creating a serene, elevated retreat perfect for sunrise coffee, slow mornings, and stargazing nights. These units offer the most dramatic views on the property.
Guests: 2
Mirrored Cabins
Five Tubbo‑style units sit tucked beneath a dramatic 25‑foot natural cliff wall, creating one of the most immersive stays on the property. Curved and modern, each unit faces a quiet forest corridor where a running stream winds down toward the Meadow River below. The setting feels cocooned and elemental — seamless indoor‑outdoor flow, and the steady sound of water moving through the rocks. These one‑bedroom glamping suites offer a rare blend of intimacy and nature.
