Our new home away from home! The views were stunning, everything we wanted to do was within a quick 15-20 minute drive and the added perks of the pool and fitness center were much appreciated! Thank you for sharing your lovely condo, we hope to be back this fall :)

We so enjoyed our stay and this particular home was perfect for our kids. They provided everything we needed for our 3 day stent, and we loved the decor, games, and views from their home! We are coming back!

Beautiful Mountain View! So relaxing. We brought our 4-year old granddaughter and had a ball!
We felt right at home here. One of the nicer VRBOs we have stayed at!
The property and rental company were fabulous! Home was very clean and comfortable. Wish we'd been able to stay for longer!

We had a great, fast weekend celebrating our App State daughter. We have stayed at Echota on the Ridge when our daughters were younger, and it was really nice to be back. Such a great place to stay!

Thank you so much for the kind review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. Please visit with us again if you are back in the High Country.
Beautiful property! Views gorgeous! Easy check in- well stocked kitchen(could use a collandar) tried reaching company several times with questions, no response didn’t use pool. Trash was super hard to find, had to ask a maintenance guy.
Great location close to Sugar Mtn. Condo was very clean and in good condition. Entry to community off 105 is very steep and windy. Property could use some heavier weight blankets/comforter in the main bedroom.

Thank you for your review, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us. We will definitely check in to heavier bedding for the winter months. Please visit again if you are back in the High Country!
This is a great little rental. There are some small issues like a utility door that doesn’t close and shotty WiFi but overall we loved the place and the views. Also it’s a little far from the indoor pool so likely could be mentioned in the description so it’s not a surprise. You have to drive about 10 min to get to the indoor pool. The pool is nice and big and the lockers rooms are nice. The deck and the view are the best!
Great location close to all three ski resorts, condo is very well maintained, and instructions (including hot water heater, etc.) were clear and easy to follow. Foscoe as a rental company was great for check-in and pickup of keys, reminders about checkout, and even provided a great ski equipment rental option, too (with delivery). Echota on the Ridge is a beautiful community, but make sure you have a four wheel drive vehicle and or chains as its not a drive for those inexperienced in driving in snow&ice; definitely worth the view once you make it up the mountain though!

third time staying here. Always been good. A few observations...Please remind the cleaning crew to clean out the coffee maker...it was moldy. figuring out the TV is a nightmare and I am very proficient with electronics. Would love to see new blinds in the master...the ones there have holes and let all the light in in the morning (and at night). Lastly the bedspread on the master bed feels like burlap.

Needs a Good Cleaning
This condo was okay, it’s definitely showing it’s age and that it’s a rental. Needs a really good deep cleaning and all of the drawers are filled with stuff. There was not a single cabinet to put food in, we had to pile it all on the counter. The pictures make it look bigger than it is, was cramped for a family of 4. We love this complex but would look for a different unit next time.
Gorgeous views on a large balcony. Comfortable beds. Adequate space for a family of four. Nice games and movie selection. The indoor pool is about a 7 minute drive away, but the outdoor pool is very close (it was closed for the season during our stay in October) The fireplace wasn’t working and in an overnight windstorm the screen door blew off. We didn’t try the fireplace till second night and it was after hours so we didn’t bother calling to have it fixed. Half of the towels had a very strong mildew smell which I’m guessing maybe they were left damp in the dryer for a time. Overall though it was lovely.

Memorial Day in the mountains
We love staying in Echota and have stayed in a different condo each time we’ve visited. Overall this location was fine. We enjoy the amenities like the pool and hot tub, several local hiking trails, and the proximity to great locations like Blowing Rock. The layout of this condo was also suitable to our needs however, the blinds should be replaced as they let a lot of light in. The family room furniture could also use an upgrade. The leather couch smelled very old and used and the kitchen table chairs were very uncomfortable. The kitchen could have been a bit better stocked with different cooking items and more plastic cups. A keurig would be a nice improvement since most rental kitchens are now equipped with that, and more usb plugs would have been nice for the variety of electronics rather than just normal plug ins. Ease of check in and check out was lovely, we did not need to communicate with the host so are unable to rate that, and having all the linens and towels was extremely convenient.

Thank you for your review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for you suggestions on improving the property, we will happily pass them along to the homeowner. We would love to have you visit with us again if you are back in the High Country.
The property is lovely with awesome views. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. There are a few ways that the trip could have been more pleasant. I think the description of the property could be a little clearer. When it says the unit is downstairs it should actually read down stairs so it is obvious that there are two sets of stairs to go down. Also, one reason we chose this location was because of the hot tub and indoor pool. I don’t see where it’s stated that those amenities are not at the location but in a different neighborhood. That was very disappointing. There is a nicely arranged binder containing useful information in the unit. Instead of sending so many emails, it would have been more efficient to scan it and email it with anything else important so all of the pertinent information is in one email. I have stayed in other VRBO locations and it’s typical to load and turn on the dishwasher when you leave. Having to have all of the dishes washed and put away, meant we had to wash and dry dishes by hand while trying to pack up and leave. We arrived later than anticipated, had some questions about the check-in but none of us had cell service on the property.
vrbo has too many fees We're elderly n had to pay $35 for insurance coverage or pay $350 deposit property was great but I didnt read condo specs enuf in order to avoid all the steps,
We enjoyed the townhouse, with all the amenities, but the views were fantastic. Sitting on the deck, with coffee or other beverages, was ideal. Quiet, peaceful and enjoyable. :)

Awesome place
Excellent location, close to everything but far enough away to relax and enjoy the mountains. The kids really enjoyed it.
