Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed our location and accommodations. Please visit with us again if you are back in the High Country!
The view is amazing, the beds were comfortable but the master bedroom was missing a piece of the blinds in the street level windwo. We used a towel to create privacy and the bathrooms were not cleaned. The management offered to send someone to clean them.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the view. We'll address the missing blind and ensure the bathrooms are cleaned to your satisfaction. Thank you for bringing these to our attention.
We had a great time. Cabin is perfect for large groups. Very clean. Everyone really enjoyed the hot tub as well. Would highly recommend! We will be booking again for our ski trip next year!

Thank you for your kind review, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us at R21A! We would love to have you visit with us again if you are in the High Country.
3 families (6 adults, 6 kids) stayed over the weekend and it was absolutely incredible. The place was clean, well appointed, and the views are just unmatched. The best part was the amount of space- usually with these condos or cabins you might be able to sleep enough people as is advertised but you'll be stacked up like firewood, not with this place! We'll definitely be back, good value close to Boone, Blowing Rock and skiing.

Thank you for your kind review, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us at Townhome R21A. The location is a great feature and amenities are fun for all ages! The parking for two vehicles is a downside, I apologize for the inconvenience.
We would love to have you stay with us again if you are visiting the area.
This is the second time my family and I have stayed in this particular unit for our family girls trip. Just like last time, it did not disappoint. The kitchen is fully stocked, plenty of towels and plenty of space. The hot tub is always our favorite! And the view…WOW the VIEW!! We will definitely be staying here again in the future!

Thank you for your kind review, we are so happy you enjoyed Townhome R21A again! We love to have returning guests to the home. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Great place and very clean! Only complaint was the TVs did not work. We had to set up our laptop for the kids to watch a movie which was a bit disappointing. Other than that it was wonderful and I’d stay again.

Thank you for your review, we apologize that you had issues with the televisions. Did you by chance reach out to the office? They would have happily sent maintenance out to check those. We are happy you enjoyed your stay other than that and would love to have you visit again if you are in the area.
Only concern was that we reported a leak in the basement bedroom and twin bedroom window during the rain. The water was dripping in and over an electrical outlet which could have been deadly. We email and called in to report it and no one came out our responded.
The property was perfect! We had two families staying at this location, for a week, with 4 adults and 6 children. There was plenty of space for everyone. It was the perfect set-up for multiple families. The condo was decorated nicely and the views were beautiful. We typically stay on Sugar Mountain, but this location was wonderful for getting to Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, and Linville. We loved it! The information provided at the booking and check-in was super helpful and organized. We also really enjoyed the outside pool and clubhouse area. It was gorgeous!
The only thing that I would not rate as 5 stars was the cleanliness, although nothing major. There were spots that weren't vacuumed or dusted as well as we would prefer or expect in some of the bedrooms and bathrooms. It also seemed to be a bit musty in the downstairs area. But overall, everything was clean at first glance and felt clean in all main living areas.
Everyone in our group would highly recommend staying at this property, and we definitely plan to stay here again.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Townhome R21A; in the gated community Echota on Ridge. We are sorry there were issues with the housekeeping and will pass the information on to the staff. We hope you will stay with us again in the beautiful High Country of North Carolina.
This property was excellent in every way. The views are spectacular, the house is clean and modern, the beds and furniture are comfortable, and the management staff are very friendly. Internet service was excellent as well. The only minor inconvenience was that I could not make my final payment via VRBO, had to go to property management web site (which was fine, just confusing).
This is our third stay in Echota, but the first on the ridge. The property was as described. It had a wonderful view of the mountain. There were a few minor issues but nothing that truly inconvenienced us. I made a list and left it with them at checkout.
We had a great mountain weekend at this townhouse. The hot tub was a huge hit with the teens (I'm sure my husband and I would have liked it too had they ever gotten out)! We had our son and 3 friends - all 15 - and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out with 2 separate living areas and 3 levels of bedroom options. The beds were comfortable, the views amazing. If you plan on using the grill, check the propane on arrival as it says guests are responsible for refilling if necessary - we lucked out and it was full. Nice to have the indoor pool, fitness and pool table - the fishing ponds looked well-maintained, but we didn't use them this time. The kitchen met our cooking needs. Very convenient (10 min) to Boone and everything in the area. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!
I would give this 5 stars but there were mice droppings in the pantry floor where we kept our packaged snacks and other food items. The basement bedroom curtains didn’t cover the windows. Very sheer too. Other than that it was great.
The location is ideal and safe. We were disturbed by the fact that the bed linens did not appear to have been washed. The sheets had hair on them, and the linens and pillows were rumpled, as if previously used. This was the case on several beds. A queen-sized bed had a king fitted sheet put on it, and is was just sloppy.

Property Experience
Location was excellent. Amazing views! Experienced some nuances with the property itself -- struggled with getting gas logs restarted and the range/oven kept overloading the circuit -- so had to keep flipping the circuit breaker. When gas logs were on, got extremely hot in bedrooms upstairs, so needed to keep the doors closed to keep rooms at a decent temperature. With all that being said, we had a great time and enjoyed the views and hot tub!
The Echota resort was soooo nice. We were so impressed with the unit we rented. The beds w/ linens were nice, furnishings, kitchen equipped, the pools, check in and out easy and the VIEW was so awesome. We live at Myrtle Beach and the humidity is so tough this time of year. Love getting our lungs full of the mountain fresh air.....thanks.
Only suggestion I would have is to have a Keurig also. THANKS
Possibly due Covid there were some issues with webs throughout. Overall cleanliness was satisfactory. The unit could use a new set of pots and pans, as the Teflon is in bad shape and bake pans were rusty.
Televisions in both Master bedrooms do not work, although maintenance was exceptional, when we needed, they were there.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay!!!!
Thank you for a great stay at your property!!
