Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and felt at home. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Enjoy your day!
The view of the mountains off of the back deck was absolutely beautiful during both the morning and the evening. The property was clean and the bed was comfortable. We were impressed that all of the kitchen cabinets and drawers were labled. The property had everything that we have at home. The weekend we booked this property was not busy...which made for a nice quiet and peaceful weekend. We will return again.

We were in town for Parent's Weekend at Appalachian State University and wanted a place close to the school but not right in the middle of the college traffic. Wintergreen was a wonderful surprise, perfectly situated close to every place we wanted to visit yet private and secluded in a beautiful resort setting. It was impeccably clean and well outfitted beautifully, we felt instantly at home and will absolutely stay again!

Everything was just as advertised and pictured. Two kings beds were perfect for a couples weekend getaway. Ran out of time to utilize the clubhouse and amenities. Hope to come back soon.

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us at Echota on the Ridge. We love when our guests are able to enjoy some local attractions in the High Country. We would love to have you back if you are ever in the area again.
This condo was perfect for our family getaway to the mountains! The layout was great and our kids enjoyed the toys and games the owners provided. The outdoor pool is close but due to the time of year wasn’t open. The indoor pool was a bit of a drive but manageable. We loved the proximity to multiple points of interest in the area and hikes/waterfalls. Will definitely try to return in the future!

This is a wonderful place and most of our missing items were fixed. Internet not working..we rebooted and fixed. No trash bags..still waiting, ; condiments, had to go get salt and pepper.
But overall a great stay!!!
We enjoyed our time in Echota and this location had great views but also close to everything

Great location
We really enjoyed our stay. All the amenities we needed/wanted. The only downside was the fireplace didn’t work and the heat compressor was outside the master bedroom so it kept making noise throughout the night (which the rental co is going to check on). Other than those things, the condo and the community were very nice and it was a great, central location between Banner Elk and Boone.
