Beautifully decorated and comfortable condo with awesome views. The condo has been updated and has supplies, from extra paper towels to kitchen towels (a staple in my opinion).Host was responsive. Condo very clean. Highly recommend.
Second visit and hopefully not the last. If you are looking for a luxurious stay with some amazing mountain vista views, this condo has it! Very well appointed, fireplace was great. Thank you for such a wonderful visit!
The host was fantastic. Always quick to respond! The condo was impeccable. We loved the views! We enjoyed a very peaceful two night stay on top of a mountain. We will be back again someday.
I spent Thanksgiving here with family and had a great time. The interior design is amazing, and the views are also amazing. I’d definitely stay here again.

Our stay could not have been more perfect or more enjoyable. Lynda was always available to answer any question, she is a super host!The condo is so beautiful, with everything we needed and more. View is amazing, we loved the porch and weather cooperated! Stay there - you won't regret -you'll be glad you did!
The condo was tastefully decorated and beds were comfortable. The view was outstanding! We all enjoyed our stay and having 3 king beds was a big plus in our book - especially for our two teen/young adults boys. We’ve been to Echota before, and this unit was one of our favorites.
We have rented this condo before and as always we are never disappointed!!!
From the moment you walk in you will love the decor and the view is amazing!!! We drank our morning coffee on the deck and enjoyed our evening meals on the deck also!!! It’s a great place with each bedroom having their own bathroom and the kitchen is fully stocked for preparing any gourmet meal!!! We plan on staying again with our family!!!

Thank you Marianne! We love our repeat visitors and can't wait to host you again!
We were really impressed and pleasantly surprised by this apartment. Plenty of living space, nice kitchen, and great views. I really liked the open floor plan in main space—great for families with smaller children. Everything was super clean and all appliances worked efficiently. Extra bonus was how well stocked it was. I wasn’t expecting to have soap/detergent/cleaning supplies provided by the host. Would definitely stay again.
Very nice, clean, and comfortable
Wonderful view from the the living area and deck
Well-appointed kitchen
All king beds with very comfy mattresses
Cozy gas fireplace
Very responsive owner, who was quick to answer our questions
Beautiful property, well appointed with kitchen essentials, easy to use fireplace. Great views - everything looks just like VRBO pictures. Lynda, property manager, got back to me IMMEDIATELY, with any questions or requests I had. Would definitely stay there again!
All the comforts of home with a great view. Home was very clean and well decorated and with plenty of extras. Kids enjoyed the snacks, pool and clubhouse. Would definitely visit again.
