This is a great place to rent. The view was excellent and we loved every room having its own bathroom. It was very clean and easy to get around with its accessible location. Host was quick to reply and clear instructions for checking in and out.

Wonderful property with amazing views!

The unit had everything we needed with plenty of items in the kitchen if you intend to cook. The beds were very comfortable, the unit was clean, and the view off the balcony was even better than the pictures show.

Thanksgiving stay

This condo had wonderful mountain views and all amenities as advertised. Very clean, cozy and functional. Check in and check out were without incident although keyless entry would be ideal for this type of location. Definitely renting again!

Beautiful view!

Absolutely loved the location of this property. It is close to several places and the view is beautiful. The unit is a little dated but very clean. Only real complaint is the noise coming from overhead unit. But that’s nothing the owner could control. Would return in the future.

Great place for 2 families

This was a great place for us with plenty of space. The rooms were spacious and very private from one another. We love Echota on the Ridge because of the indoor pool and hot tub although the one time we went to get in the hot tub it was out of service. Our only complaint was the ants. We kept the place super clean but as soon as we left a dish on the counter, ants would come out. We kept wiping everything clean but they kept appearing. Other than that the cooking pans weren’t great for cooking. I would suggest bringing your own.

Thank you for your review, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us at Echota on the Ridge. We apologize for the hot tub issues, a part was damaged the night prior so the POA had to close it until the repair could be completed. The condo is on quarterly pest control, so we are very sorry you had issues with ants, we will have this taken care of immediately, as well as checking into having the cookware replaced. We appreciate all your feedback and would love to have you visit with us again if you are in the High Country.

Great property with beautiful views. The pool area was perfect. Our grands really appreciated the heated outdoor pool being open after Labor Day-a rare find. This property met our needs for a party of five for a weekend stay while visiting Land of Oz. I would highly recommend.

Pristine Property + Million Dollar View!

My husband and I took our kids snow tubing at Hawksnest and this property was not only affordable, but it far exceeded our expectations. We had zero issues. Everything was top notch! We loved hiking around the property and visiting the shops in Blowing Rock. Our kids loved the heated pool and we loved the hot tub too!

So much to do in the area and we loved the clubhouse, exercise areas, and pool. The ice maker started leaking and the emergency maintenance team was on top of it. Nice quiet getaway with great amenities!

Paradise in the mountains

Beautiful condo. The rooms were so comfortable. Great views from the balcony. Just loved this location. Thankful for the easy access to the property. The only problem was the last morning we did not have hot water. Besides the hot water, we had a wonderful trip. Sooooooo relaxing! Will definitely go back.

Very modern, clean unit with beautiful views of the mountains. My son plays football for ASU and I would love to make this my home away from home for football weekends during the next 2 years.
