Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay and found our location convenient. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
We really enjoyed this place. Nice views, comfortable, well maintained. Kitchen was pretty well equipped (Suggestion: some tongs would be a helpful & inexpensive addition for cooking). Only less than stellar aspect- hot tub at clubhouse was not very hot, and the pool area (mainly floors) could use a little more attention, cleaning wise. Overall, a great place and we'd definitely stay again.

Thank you for your review, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us at Echota on the Ridge. Please visit with us again if you are in the High Country!
Clean, cozy and well maintained. Would absolutely stay again. Impressed by how thoroughly the roads leading to the property were cleared out, just a day after a major snow storm.

Great location, Great place to stay and enjoy the mountains. Centrally located to the ski resorts and Boone. Only negative was hot tub was not closed to condo during the winter months, it was in a different part of the resort and required a car trip to reach.

Thank you for your review, we are so happy you enjoyed your trip to the High Country. Unfortunately, there is a quick drive to access the indoor amenities from Echota on the Ridge. The outdoor facilities are only open seasonally. Please visit with us again if you are in the area. We would love to have you back!
Came up to enjoy the area and do a little snow skiing. Place was well maintained and roads were maintained considering the snow that had fallen. Suggest four-wheel drive in the winter.

Thank you for your review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and were able to celebrate your daughter in the High Country! Please visit with us again if you are ever back in the area.
This property was very nice. Everything was clean and worked as expected. We enjoyed the kitchen, living area, and the deck was great with a beautiful view of the mountains. Both pools are a drive away, with the outdoor pool being the closest. It looked nice, but was too cold (in August) to use it. Thankfully, the indoor pool was perfect for us to wind down in the evenings.

Thank you for your review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and were able to enjoy the indoor pool during your stay. We would love to have you visit with us again if you are visiting the High Country again!
The condo in person looks just like the pictures. It was VERY clean and had a great homey feel, easy to get to and just a short drive to Hawksnest snow tubing park. We will definitely return and will recommend to friends and family. We were even able to enjoy a dusting of snow the day we left, and saw deer in the parking lot on our first night there. My daughter was in AWE!

Restful retreat
This condo was everything we had hoped for. The photos reflect the actual unit. Everything was clean and well maintained. I will recommend this property to friends and family. I recommend Appalachian University Summer Festival activities, and performances all year long at the University Schafer Center.

Thank you for the wonderful review! I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay in our Echota home. We love the condo and are so happy that our guests do as well. Please visit again soon!
The property was as described and met our needs. It was just the two of us but we would have had plenty of room if another couple had joined us. The kitchen was well-equipped, and we enjoyed the view from the deck. We did not use the grill so cannot comment on its cleanliness or ease of use. The biggest irritant was the number of remotes required to use each TV, but we eventually figured it all out and we were fine. Brighter lamps in the living room would be nice for reading at night. Overall, our stay was nice and we’d rent here again!

Nice Spot
Gas fireplace didn’t work upon arrival took over 24 hours and 4 follow up phone calls before someone came to property. There was no clear indication pointed out where the pool or trash dumpster were located. Also, they should inform you it is quite a hike to the pool, and you need to bring your own towels, no towels provided at the community pool. Heater pool felt like a cold bath, and the gym was a little cluttered with machinery non operational.
Beautiful fireplaced greatly used given we picked a winter storm weekend! Perfect amount of extra throw blankets and pillows.
Great internet and Netflix especially when we decided to bunker in and play it safe; and not drive to the ski resort on day 2 of our stay. They had a perfect amount of cook wear, dishes, and a deck of cards we used greatly (Thank you!).
Note you definitely need good tires, a 4X4 car, and comfortable driving in deep/iced roads. The roads are nicely paved and cleaned/salted. However, it is about1.8 miles curvy down the mountain road that leads to the main road. The facility did a wonderful job cleaning. But, mother nature dropped at least 8 feet of snow allowing us to snowboard down the street. (It was a nice lever Green slope with no lift!) We were not comfortable making the drive to the local ski resort when we could safely play at the condo's hills/streets.

Thank you for staying with us and for your feedback. We are so glad you were able to enjoy a snowed in fun weekend with us! 4-wheel drive is always recommended during the winter months.
Please do come again!
The property was as described in the listing. We were unclear that it was in a different location than the main Echota property, but figured it out upon studying the accompanying map when checking in. The only complaint was the master bed...that mattress...still having back pain on Monday! Otherwise a great property and a fun weekend.

Filthy - 1/2” of dust everywhere. Mattress in MBR mega cheap and uncomfortable!!!
I truly enjoyed my trip at this property. It was definitely worth the price. The other critique I have is that the sleeper sofa was terribly uncomfortable. I would bring a blow up mattress or something because it was difficult for two of our six to sleep. Other than that it was great
We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was very comfortable and clean. The amenities are excellent and the location is perfect. Easy to get to Banner Elk, Valle Crucis and Boone!
Our stay was fine,except for the fact that we only had internet for one day. Manager was notified but not resolved.
