The place is very clean and cozy. It feels just like home away from home. We especially enjoy the hot tub at the club house after za long day of skiing and snowboarding at Sugar Mountain. Thus, the view from the balcony in the morning is so refreshing. Thanks for sharing your home with us!Recommended for: Girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for the kind words and we are happy that you enjoyed yourself. Hurry back now. Hutch & Sue

We recently visited the Boone/Blowing Rock area for a short getaway before the arrival of our first child. We found the condo to be extremely clean and in a great central location just a few miles away from all the shops and restaurants. The condo had everything we needed and seemed less like a rental and more like a home. Very relaxing stay in a nice location.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thank you Justin for your response and choosing our condo for your stay. I am glad everything went well for you and your wife. Please let us know about your future arrival, they are such fun. After times seem to become a little more normal after the "blessed event" consider coming back for a little R&R. Your new friends Sue & Hutch

We just came back from our Christmas vocation. We all so glad we chose this wonderful condo. The condo is sparkling clean, smells great, has all the necessity and more the family might need. It is also very well decorated with that unique mountain touch. My daughter called the bear ottoman/bench Fluffy. Very cozy and homey and perfectly located to anything in that area - Hawksnest, Beech mountain, Sugar mountain, Appalachian ski mountain. We explored them all. Thank you very much. We would like to come back.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.
Owner response: Hey Nina, Thanks for your kind review. It is really nice to start our new year with a great review like yours. We do strive to keep our condo a pleasant experiance for our guest/friends. Hurry back now!

I really appreciate being able to take a last-minute getaway! I called to book this unit Thursday night and in less than 24 hours, I was on the couch relaxing! The first thing I noticed was the fall smell of apple spice. This is not just a rental, it is made to feel like a home. It is so clean and cozy! The bedding is super comfortable and I enjoyed sleeping with just a screen between me and mother nature. The master bedroom opens to a beautiful private deck (that's covered) overlooking a wooded area with great views! Thanks to all the kitchen supplies, I was able to make cookies, too, which was a nice treat! This weekend allowed me to relax which is exactly what I needed. The community is beautiful and conveniently located right between Banner Elk and Boone. I can't wait to come back to visit your lovely home away from home! Thanks again!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you Amanda for your very kind review. I find it is fun to help make other people happy, especially school teachers (since my wife was once one). We hope you will find time to come back in the future possibly including your Hubby. Happy Holidays!

This is a great condo with all of the comforts of home! The layout works great for a family or for friends traveling together. Centrally located between Boone and Banner Elk. The condo was spotless, well furnished and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub! Hope to return soon for another visit. You feel at home as soon as you walk through thru front door!Recommended for: Families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.
Owner response: Thank you for your very kind words. We are so happy when others enjoy the experiance as much as we have. Mom was right when she said "you must share your toys". We hope you can come back soon.

We've stayed in a number of vacation rentals. This one, in many ways, was the very best. It was exceptionally fresh and clean. The floor plan is excellent. You will not feel cramped here. The owners provide all the basics, including plenty of sheets and towels--very nice ones, I might add, and toilet paper and paper towels. The furniture is comfortable, functional, and attractive. The decorations are not overbearingly cutesy. Instead, you feel as if you are in a real home. The covered deck is large and overlooks a wooded area with no other houses directly behind. The mountain views are great and the hummingbirds entertained us every time we sat outside. And you get all of this for less than a quality hotel room. I recommend this condo whole-heartedly.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.
Owner response: Thank you for your kind review. It is our intension to have everything available for a pleasant stay. I am so glad you enjoyed the view and our friends "the birds". I hope you will be able to come again. Richard & Sue

We had a great time staying at this cozy and charming condo. It was very clean and we enjoyed the comfortable beds. Our son had a blast in the swimming pool and fishing (even though they were not biting)! Very convenient to Boone with just a 10 min. drive. Thanks for making your place available at an affordable price!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+.
Owner response: Thanks Cindy for the nice review. I'm glad you all had a good time and will come back soon. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

This property was great in every way. Spotlessly clean, well-maintained, very pretty decor, fantastic location, and a wonderful owner to rent from. We loved that we had a great view without having to go too far off the beaten path. It is centrally located to Boone, Grandfather, and Banner Elk. The owner was also most helpful when I left an item in the condo after checking out, making several calls and letting me know that the item was found and being sent back to me. I will definitely be recommending this condo to friends, and we will make plans to come back next year.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.
Owner response: Thank you Judy for the kind words and I am glad we were able to assist you on getting your missing item back. Most of all I am glad you have decided to return in the future. Thanks again Sue & Hutch

We loved the place. It had enough space for the four of us. The kitchen had everything we needed to feel at home. The view was breathtaking and we were able to see Grandfather Mountain from the patio. The location is perfect. We were only minutes away from every tourist attraction. It had everything we needed and then some. My children had a blast at the indoor pool and the fishing ponds. I could go on and on. We will be back!!!!!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.
Owner response: Thank You Angela for your kind words, Sue & I are happy you and your family enjoyed and please come back. Oh yeah, tell your friends. Hutch & Sue

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: We have lived in Greensboro,NC for over 30 years now. We had often come to this area to vacation and decided it was a great time to buy where we like to play. We have 2 grown children who also enjoy coming to enjoy with their children. It has been a great experience and we enjoy sharing with others when we can't be there. Sue is a Real Estate agent in Greensboro for over 23 years and she knew this was the right location to make an investment!
Why the Owner Chose Boone:
After visiting the area on many mini-vacations for 15+ years and owning a time share week in Banner Elk we decided to own. Echota Woods is the BEST.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
The peace and friendliness of the community is a definite drawing card. It is like going back in time with beautiful mountain views, great hiking trials, unique shops and the great Tanger Outlet Mall for great shopping for almost everything. Snow tubing in Hawkseye is only minutes away as well as Sugar and Beech Mts. for winter skiing fun. There is Art in the Park in Blowing Rock during Spring and Summer months which features unique crafters from all over the country. There are theater events, outdoor musical events and so much more! The famous Chetola Resort offers a wonderful outdoor symphony on the grounds in June. This is always a fun and entertaining evening! Our unit offers split bedroom areas for extra privacy and each have adjoining bathrooms! Our deck area is very private and looks out to a beautiful view of the Blue Ridge Mountains! We hope you will come soon for a visit.
