Ann's property was beautiful and the place is so clean and inviting. The amenities such as the pool and the workout room in the clubhouse looked beautiful we did not get to use them but we did get to look at them. It was very foggy and rainy all weekend so we didn't get to enjoy what I know is an excellent view of the back deck. Thank you very much and for the use of your home.

This was the 4th time that my family has stayed at this property, and it never disappoints. It is so nice to visit the High Country and have a place to stay that is clean, spacious, cozy, and in a great location with amazing views. The fall foliage was spectacular and Ann is a fantastic host. I expect many more stays here in the near future.

It was a great place with a great view. I think turning the water and water heater on and off was something new when staying somewhere, but not a big deal.

Thanks Brian! FYI we are required by the property owners association to have the water and hot water off when the unit is not occupied. Sometimes my cleaner does to arrive until the next day.

About the host

Hosted by Ann Ward

Host profile image
As you can see, I am an ASU alumni! My husband and I live in Charlotte. We try to visit the mountains at least once a month during the year. We love the cooler temps and fresh air!

Why they chose this property

We chose to purchase a condo in the Echota on the Ridge Community as it fit our needs of wanting a second home without serious upkeep issues. We enjoy the spectacular view, the ever changing weather and the amenities afforded to us in this 2nd home residential community and in the Watauga County area.

What makes this property unique

Our unit is a no steps walk in unit from the parking lot. The covered balcony has rocking chairs and a dining set for your outdoor enjoyment of the spectacular view. See our pictures!
