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 visiting the High Country!
Great views from this condo! We enjoyed our stay. Spacious condo and beautiful views. Only slight negative, WiFi for guest bedroom tv was very slow, made it difficult to use the tv. No tv in master bedroom (as shown in pictures). Other than that, great stay!

Thank you for your kind review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us at Grand Oaks RP2. We would love to have you visit with us again if you are ever back in the High Country!
Very nice, super clean and comfortable for a family of six. 2 King bedrooms and a bunk room for children was perfect for us, although I admit, the King mattress in the Master was too firm for me, but I adjusted. Beautiful views, overall great early vacation.

Thank you for your review, we are so happy our condo met your needs. If you are visiting the High Country again, we would love to have you back!
Beautiful property! It is 30 mins away from Beech Mountain and 20 mins away from Sugar Mountain. However, be cautious when booking during winter months because the property does have a steep hill.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. We appreciate your understanding and hope you still enjoyed your stay with us.
The condo has a great floor plan and the elevator made it accessible for my 90 year old mother (although there aren’t safety rails in any of the bathrooms, so don’t take the word accessible too literally if your traveling with elderly or mobility challenged people). Beautiful mountain views and a well stocked kitchen. Convenient to Boone and the ski areas. We only stayed for a weekend but it’s spacious enough for a week long vacation.
