Wonderful week in the high country!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Echota. The condo was very clean and fully stocked. Lovely view of Grandfather Mountain from the deck as well! We also enjoyed all of the amenities that Echota offered. Our boys didn’t have much luck with the trout pond, but caught a lot of bass in the other pond 😊. The location of Echota is great- Boone, Blowing Rock and Grandfather Mountain are all within 20 minutes. Would definitely stay again!

Enjoyed our stay

Really enjoyed the property. Good location between towns and ski resorts. Property was in really good condition and nicely furnished and stocked. The porch view and fireplace were great. It’s a bottom level unit so there was a little bit of noise/footsteps above but not too bad. The rental company delayed our check-in last minute but had no flexibility to allow us a late check out which was a bit annoying. They also have a lot of check out requirements that most companies include in the service/cleaning fee so check out day is kind of a hassle. Overall great trip and great property that I would recommend.

Enjoyable Stay

Overall, the stay was great as many commodities were provided and the property was clean. However, there were some problems involving the stay as aforementioned. The toilets when flushed would have to be held down or would clog temporarily. This was extremely frustrating coupled with the toilet taking a while to flush. Another thing to mention that wasn’t exactly a huge problem was that the hot water and water were not turned on by property management and would have to be turned on by the guests.

Thank you for your review, we are pleased you enjoyed your visit to the High Country. We apologize for any issues you experienced throughout your stay. Our community does require the water to be shut off in between stays due to the possibility of freezing temperatures. This is to protect the homeowner and the neighboring homeowners in the building. We hope you will visit with us again soon.

Cozy condo in well-kept resort

We enjoyed our stay at the condo. It rained heavily during most of our trip to the area. We spent more time indoors at the condo than we had planned, so we were happy to have the fireplace and covered deck. We also appreciated the well-stocked kitchen. We felt that the shower in the master bathroom was too small and the shower temperature was scalding at times and difficult to regulate. Overall, we were happy with the stay, with the shower being our only disappointment.

Pleasant, peaceful stay in a great location

Great location 12 minutes from Boone dining and within easy driving distance to Valle Crucis, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Grandfather, Linville, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Neighborhood is gated. Property we stayed in was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The drive up to the property from the gate was good, not on a steep gravelly road like other places we've stayed in. Plenty of parking. Sitting on the deck was a peaceful experience with the birds singing in the trees. Only negatives were that the outdoor pool was in a different neighborhood (Echota on the Ridge) and the master bathroom shower was a very small corner stall. Due to POA requirements, the hot water heater must be turned off between stays, so our advice is to check in as soon as you can to get that hot water heated long before people need to take showers. We checked in late after hiking and did not have enough hot water for showering the first night. Other than that, the unit was nicely furnished with plenty of amenities.

Great property but no WIFI

I have nothing but nice things to say about this property. I was very clean and accurate description. The only complaint and that is minor is the wifi did not work at all during the week we were there. I made sure to book a rental with wifi because I have a teenager (enough said) needless to say it never worked on our 4 different devices. The one time we tried to go to the office during business hours no one was there so I just didn't bother to check with them again. Mobile data also only working in ONE room of the building. Like I said this was a minor annoyance to us and mainly my teen. Otherwise the property was great and we had a good time.
