Family's Jewel - Mtn Views, Gated Resort, Indoor/Outdoor Pools & Hot Tub
Bed Configuration: King (Primary Bedroom, Main Floor), Queen (Guest Bedroom, Main Floor), Queen and Full Futon (Guest Bedroom, Upstairs), King (Guest Bedroom, Downstairs), Sleeps 10
Description: Nestled in the tranquil Echota on the Ridge, "The Family's Jewel" stands as a captivating retreat conveniently located near the outdoor pool and fitness room. This appropriately named residence is a sanctuary in the scenic mountains of North Carolina, designed to accommodate up to 10 guests and is meticulously furnished.
A wealth of amenities awaits, with multiple TVs, fireplaces, and decks ensuring there's something for everyone. The fully equipped kitchen, adorned with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, elevates the art of cooking into a delightful experience.
The open kitchen, dining, and living rooms are bathed in natural light, providing a breathtaking mountain view. The generously sized dining room and the living room, featuring tongue and groove cathedral ceilings, comfortable seating, a TV, and a floor-to-ceiling stone gas log fireplace, create an inviting atmosphere. Step onto the deck to appreciate the fresh mountain air and breathtaking scenic views, where outdoor dining is made easy with a table, chairs, and a gas grill.
The main floor is dedicated to comfort, hosting the spacious primary suite offering a beautiful mountain view with a luxurious bathroom. Accompanying this is a guest bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs, the loft bedroom and bathroom provide a private retreat. Downstairs, another seating area with a TV offers an additional cozy space for gatherings, while an enclosed bedroom surrounded by windows provides a treehouse-like escape. The luxurious guest bathroom downstairs features a stunning tile shower, and a private deck adds the finishing touch to this mountain gem. The primary and downstairs guest rooms feature king-sized beds, complemented by queens in the additional guest rooms, and a full futon in the loft bedroom.
Escape to the mountains and stay at “The Family’s Jewel.”
Resorts' Amenities: Amenities in these gated resorts include indoor and outdoor (seasonal May 1 - Oct. 1) swimming pools with hot tubs, two private clubhouses, fitness rooms, stocked fishing ponds, a 23-acre riverfront park, community hiking trails and catch and release fishing.
Location: This Resort is centrally located to Boone, Banner Elk, Valle Crucis and Blowing Rock in the Foscoe area. The convenient location makes it just minutes away from all the High Country’s most famous attractions such as the Blue Ridge Parkway, Tweetsie Railroad, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls and Caverns, and Appalachian State University. If you are looking for winter sports there are several different options from Hawksnest Snow Tubing, Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, Beech Mountain Ski Resort, and Appalachian Ski Resort. Relax and enjoy the slow pace of the mountains and the fresh air or be adventurous and go hiking, fishing, biking, or sight-seeing. Some other things people enjoy are shopping, antiquing, skiing, golfing and miniature golfing, ziplining, go-karts, and gem mining.
