We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us! October is a great time to visit the High Country. We would love to have you again if you are visiting the area.
We loved the outdoor pool and the community. It was quiet with beautiful Mountain View’s. The property itself could use some slight updates. The internet never worked during our stay which meant it wouldn’t connect to the tvs. The main living tvs screen has a crack so anything you watch goes in and out. I had to rewash the wash clothes and towels when we arrived. Some were stained and others smelled heavily perfumed. The guest bedroom comforter had stains present too so we took it off the bed. Normal wear and tear is certainly present as there are stains on the doors and walls. When we checked in, some of the silverware was put away dirty so we had to rewash all of that. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the property management ensured we had everything we needed information wise for check in and check out.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We're thrilled you enjoyed the pool, mountain views, and peaceful community atmosphere!
We sincerely apologize for the maintenance and cleanliness issues you experienced—the internet connectivity, cracked TV screen, stained linens, and silverware fall far short of our standards. These concerns are completely valid, and we're taking immediate action to address them.
We would love to have you visit with us again.
Our family had an amazing time in Banner Elk! The condo was very clean, and the views were an added bonus! The pool and hot tub were also a huge hit after hiking and exploring all day!

Thank you for your kind review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. We would love to have you visit with us again if you are back in the High Country.
Very nice place, had everything we could ask for and more. Only thing I could comment on is that the hot water didn't last long and couldn't figure out the fireplace.
My daughter and I came to celebrate her birthday by skiing at Sugar Mountain. Our stay here in the condo was great, super clean, and well kept. The facility did a great job keeping the roads clear from ice and snow. I will definitely stay again!

Thank you for your review, we are so happy you had an easy check-in process and stay. If you are in the High Country again, we would love to have you visit again.
We came up here to get away from the heat and humidity. We loved the cool crisp weather and the scenery from our condo on top of the mountains was
stunning! The condo was comfy and roomy.
The roads were windy twisty and high mayby a little scary.Being we live in the low country the change in scenery was welcome.

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us at Wintergreens R611 and were able to escape the heat of the low country! If you are back in the area again, we would love to have you back.
We loved our stay! The view was breathtaking and lots of great hiking trails and access to amenities. My only complaint would be the lengthy amount of check in and out process. Having to turn on the hot water ourselves, set up balcony cushions, and take trash out to a dumpster much further than our property seemed like a bit much- given the price. Also, it would have been helpful to have more basics provided, including coffee, ziploc bags, etc. typically those items are provided when we stay in these type of rental situations. Otherwise, everything was great.

Thank you for your review, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us at Echota on the Ridge. We apologize you had issues with our check-in and out process. Due to the elevation of the community the homeowners association require us to keep the water off when guests are not in the units. This is more crucial in the winter months, but they decided to implement it year round. The cushions are also kept indoors due to the high winds on the mountain top, this just helps us from having to replace them so frequently. Thank you for your feedback and we hope you will visit with us again.
This is an awesome property! We enjoyedthe beautiful Mountain View’s after the fog lifted! The condo is spacious and well maintained. Foscoe Rentals does an outstanding job of communicating aboutcheck in and check out procedures.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you got to enjoy those gorgeous mountain views—there's nothing quite like them once the fog clears. We're glad the spacious layout and upkeep met your expectations, and we really appreciate you noting our communication efforts. That's important to us! We'd love to welcome you back to the property soon. Thanks for choosing us!
Very nice condo with great amenities. Loved the gas fireplace and overall coziness of the place. We were a quick drive to nearby restaurants and Sugar Mountain ski slopes. The highlight of the trip was having access to the indoor pool and hot tub after a long day of skiing. Would highly recommend staying here!
Nothing in the advertisement indicated it was downstairs. Hard for some to go up and down. Sofa was awful. Sat on springs of sleeper sofa. No chest for clothing in guest room. No space for food. All cabinets were full. Bar stools were too short for bar and there were not enough cushions for outside furniture.
