In 30 years and 50 rentals, we have never stayed in a better place. Every detail has been attended to. From the view to the paper towels, this place has everything! Janeen makes sure you are well cared for.

Wonderful Stay

My family recently stayed at “Hilltop Haven” in the Echota Resort community through VRBO, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The booking process was smooth and straightforward, with clear communication from the host.Upon arrival, the property exceeded our expectations. It was very clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was perfect for our needs, offering easy access to Beech Mountain, Boone, Banner Elk and local restaurants. The neighborhood was quiet and the roads well maintained for winter weather. Our host, Janeen, was incredibly accommodating and responsive to any questions we had, providing helpful recommendations for things to do in the area.Overall, I highly recommend this property and would definitely return for another visit. Thank you for a memorable stay!

Great place!

The stay was part of a ski trip we gave our son and his family as a Christmas gift. Turns out, skiing was rather difficult for them, however, they said the highlight of their stay was the VRBO condo where they stayed. They said the Christmas decorations were beautiful and our grandsons enjoyed the Hot chocolate bar and the games the host left for them to play. The view was amazing and the location was convienient. While another ski excursion may not lie in their future, they would certainly enjoy a return trip to this beautiful mountain home.

Very Relaxing, will be back soon.

Property is always clean and as stated in the listing. We always plan meals and cook while visiting, kitchen pots and pans were a little sparce this visit but enough on sight to get by with. All other amenities and over all location is great. The view out the back window and from the deck never gets old. The new deck furniture was a great addition. Just a good spot to get away and relax.

Incredible Home

We had an incredible stay at this property. The views were beautiful, the furniture was comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked. The property was convenient to Boone and the local ski resorts. The indoor pool was easy to access and was nice to have during our winter stay. We are planning to visit again this summer! The only thing I recommend is that guests need to bring their own pool towels. Extra towels were not available in the home and no towels were available at the indoor pool. Looking forward to visiting again!

Great condo

We really enjoyed our stay! The condo was very well kept, and it was very easy to get in contact with the owners. And the view was spectacular! The only negative was that it was lacking cleaning items, didn't have any disinfecting wipes or cleaning spray at all. We had to purchase some because i like to wipe down after cooking and eating. Also, more spices and other cooking supplies would be nice. But these things didnt change how we felt about the condo overall. We loved our stay and hope to return one day!

Decompress and sanity time.

Love this property, repeat renter. Great place to decompress from work activities. Privacy is also a plus being on an end unit. Owners do their best to keep the unit up to date and well stocked. While construction is in progress on the mountain, discounts would be greatly appreciated due to truck noise and traffic noise. Ready to go back for a couple days...👍

Beautiful views

The unit size was exactly what we were looking for. A little crowded in the main room but we moved some of the furniture so we could move around more easily. The view from our balcony was spectacular. I believe we were there when the leaves were at their peak. Enjoyed the shops at Boone and Blowing Rock. Spent most of our time driving through the back roads enjoying the scenery. The Moses home was beautiful...a must see. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing mountain view

This was our third time staying in this wonderful condo. The view from the balcony is unbeatable. There is a great grill on the balcony, which we’ve cooked on every time we’ve been there. Inside is comfortable and roomy, and the kitchen is very well stocked.We used the fireplace one night, which was so nice-and on with a flip of a switch. We highly recommend it!

Mountain Getaway

We are a group of seniors that travel to different locations for a week every year. The property was perfect, awesome view of the surrounding mountains. We normally didn't venture out after dark, so it was a perfect place to just to enjoy our time together. The drive to other towns was easy and lots of resturants and shopping close by. I highly recommend this beautiful hideaway. The host responded quickly to my questions.

Pros and Cons

The property is real nice and views are great, slept well. Needs signs put up directing to pool and exits GPS doesn't work and you go in circles. No access to the closest pool and was not noted on site, very far to load up to go to pool. Very little kitchen supplies and the pots and pans need to be replaced couldn't even use them so nasty and worn. No ironing board and iron leaks water at the cord. ANTS get pest control baits dont work. Chairs on patio broken and pillows ripped. The towels were still in dryer. Shower head in master needs replaced badly. We had a lovely time even though bare minimum in kitchen and couldn't iron my clothes. We have been using vrbo for 15 plus years and know each property is different. Just a few up grades and this would be a very great place. Someone is going to hurt themselves on these broken chairs. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Vacation in Boone

The condo is spacious with each bedroom having their own bathroom. There are a few things that need repairs…balcony door handle, door to laundry room, light in one bathroom but that is small and easily replaced. The kitchen is well stocked and the balcony and grill is great with amazing view. The view is beautiful. You will need to drive to the pool (indoor and outdoor), as well as to the fitness room. The road is paved but very long and steep as you climb the mountain to the condo. It is well worth it!

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.
