About the host
Hosted by Janeen FM
My husband and I have lived on the North Carolina coast all of our lives and have been married for 28 years. We have two adult children and a very large extended family. We love riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway, hiking the many trails in the area, and enjoying the cool, refreshing air of the lush mountains. We love sharing our second home with people — a place of respite and peace.
Why they chose this property
Through the years we have always dreamed of owning a little slice of heaven in the mountains. When we discovered Echota we knew we had found the perfect location because it is right in the middle of all the places we love to visit in Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk. We were certain we found the perfect place when we walked inside and saw the magnificent view of Grandfather Mountain from the kitchen, family room, primary bedroom, and back porch. Watching the sun move across the rugged face of that mountain all day is like watching the Creator do a live painting -- it's a grand view without the hike!
What makes this property unique
The grand view of Grandfather Mountain is the hallmark of this property coupled with it being entry level and no stairs makes it ideal for any age. Since the condo is an end unit, there is a ton of natural light inside and the private corner back porch has a built-in gas grill.
