The host was very welcoming & the condo was absolutely beautiful.

Yes, everything was in good order. It was nice of the owner to reach out to us during our stay to ask if we needed anything or had any questions. We have been staying at various condos in Echota on The Ridge since 2014 and this is the first time an owner has reached out to us.

Great place to stay when visiting the high country!

We have stayed at a similar place on the property before, but this was even better! The host checked in with me and offered assistance if at all needed. The place was extremely clean and the host had even turned the AC on a little cooler, to make it more comfortable. The views from this place are absolutely stunning! We loved the peace and quiet of sitting on the back deck in the morning and evenings. Attached is a photo of the sunrise this morning.

Wonderful unit in the best mountain community. We love Echota and stay in this community often - the indoor pool is a favorite for our family. This unit has everything you need for a cozy stay and a very caring host. We visited with snow on the ground, so the sleds and snow shovel were greatly appreciated. A working fireplace would have made things even cozier, but it is listed that the fireplace doesn't work and it was on me for overreading that. All in all a wonderful stay and we would visit again.

Let me start with the pros: The condo was very clean when we arrived. The view is beautiful as well. The Cons: couches and dining chairs are very worn out. We could barely sit for more than 10 minutes - very uncomfortable . Upon arrival, the owner informed us the washer was not working - could have planned better with our clothing as I was counting on being able to wash some wet clothing from tubing/ snow activities. There were no extra towels and we could not wash them either due to the broken washer. There are no under cabinet lights and the light above the stove was out. We could hardly see to cook. Worst of all, pillows in the bedrooms are completely worn out. They are about 2cm in thickness each. How is that acceptable? I stacked up 3 pillows and still couldn’t get comfortable. My husband had to roll up some sweaters for a pillow.The throw pillows in the living room were the same, completely flat. There are several other issues, but these should suffice. Quite disappointing.

We really enjoyed our recent stay at Echota on the Ridge. The property is well cared for, and stocked to meet our needs. There was plenty of space for all of us to relax and enjoy our time together. The views are gorgeous! Paul was a great host and all communications were clear and helpful.

Very clean, amazing views, and excellent communication with the host. Used the pool area, also very nice. Would highly recommend and stay again. Grandfather mountain/ Blowing Rock is a must see!

We loved staying here. The view is breathtaking, and the owner is so nice and beyond accommodating. The condo was clean and had everything we needed for our long weekend away. We will be back for sure!

We enjoyed our stay here so much! Upon check-in, it was very clean. The kitchen is very well stocked. There was adequate seating both in the kitchen, living room and outdoor balcony area. Beds were very comfortable. The owner is accommodating and was very responsive. The only down side is that we wanted to soak In the hot tub at the clubhouse after our hike. However, it was drained and closed for repairs, maybe for the fall and winter.

Clean and comfortable lodging for 4 adults. Great view. Easy access to Boone, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock.

We enjoyed our stay on the Ridge. Our boys enjoyed fishing on the lower pond, which is by the indoor pool. They caught some fish. The outdoor pool is relaxing and a short walk from the condo. The clubhouse has a pool table and workout facility. You are close to many of the local attractions. The view from the back porch is beautiful. If you are an early riser you can watch the sun come up over the mountains. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. They had your basic seasonings. I will say the location is high up. That does allow for beautiful views and cool weather.

We enjoyed our stay at Echota. The home is beautiful, and the views were breath taking.

From the initial communication with the host to the moment we departed, everything was seamless and enjoyable. The cleanliness of the place was impeccable. It was evident that great care had been taken to ensure that the property was spotless upon our arrival. The attention to detail was remarkable, and we felt immediately at ease in our surroundings. One of the highlights of our stay was the tranquility of the surroundings. Nestled in a peaceful area, the property offered a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We were able to relax and unwind, enjoying the quiet ambiance and stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The amenities provided were exceptional. The pools were clean and well-maintained, providing the perfect opportunity to cool off on warm days. The gym facilities were also top-notch, allowing us to maintain our fitness routine even while on vacation. Overall, this property had everything we needed and more for a memorable stay. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home. We are already looking forward to our next visit!
