We are located at Echota on the Ridge. This gated community is situated on 97 acres with our elevation being 4200 ft. The spectacular unobstructed view from the balcony overlooks Valle Crucis. Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, and the Blue Ridge Parkway are only minutes away. Hiking, skiing, snow tubing, and fishing are also close by.

Our mountain retreat is on the main floor. NO STEPS!! Walk straight from your car to the front door. It is beautifully furnished with all the conveniences of home. The master bedroom has a Saatva Luxury Firm Queen size mattress, flat screen TV, private bath/dressing area and a sitting area for you to enjoy your morning coffee as you look out over Valle Crucis. The 2nd bedroom has 2 twin beds, TV and a separate bathroom. Both guest areas can be closed off from the rest of the condo for privacy.

The stone fireplace sets the tone in the great room. You can enjoy a book with the relaxing fire, or watch the 42' flat screen TV. Bring your laptop because WIFI internet is available in our unit. Our dining area seats 6. If you feel like cooking, our kitchen is fully equipped with everything to make that perfect meal! Or if take-out is your thing--area restaurants are close by. Menus provided.

Echota on the Ridge has so much to offer. You can choose either the indoor pool or the outdoor pool with its spectacular view of Grandfather Mountain, a hot tub, and a soothing 30 ft. waterfall. The clubhouse offers a full gym, caterer's kitchen, and a huge great room with a 42' flat screen TV & free WiFi internet service. Echota also offers catch & release trout fishing and a 24 acre nature preserve for hiking, strolling and picnicking along a beautiful mountain river.

As Advertised

Place was clean, well decorated, everything functioned as described. We ate several meals cooked in the kitchen during our stay. Everything we need was there and saved a ton of money by not eating out. Area in the vicinity is picturesque and worth visiting. Community pool and hot tub were great. Views were incredible!!! Great stay and highly recommend staying here.

We had the best sister trip yet! The condo has an amazing view and is very comfortable and welcoming! Our host was very quick to answer my questions and provides a binder with things to do and restaurant recommendations. That was very helpful. Look forward to our next stay!

About the host

Hosted by Judy Allran

Host profile image
We are the original owners of this unit. We have had wonderful guests that consider our 2nd home theirs too. We would love for you to be a part of our VRBO family.

Why they chose this property

This property is one of the best in EOR. We are on the middle floor of our building so, you walk right in. No steps to climb. Making it very easy to load/unload your car when you arrive. We love the Boone, Blowing Rock and Banner Elk area. There's lots to do and great places to eat.

What makes this property unique

You will fall in love with our view. 60 mile range looking towards TN over Valle Crucis. It's a very quiet building with no one beside of us. I've had many renters describe it as "a little piece of heaven."
