About this property

Book for Summer Now - Breathtaking View - Fabulous & Well-Stocked Kitchen

At 3606 feet, the "Red Tail Nest" condo can be found sitting high in the treetops much like the nests that Red Tail Hawks build to give them a commanding view of their landscape. You will find yourself in awe of the beauty of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains before you, centered on the iconic profile of Grandfather Mountain. This beautiful farmhouse chic condo with unobstructed views from every window will invite you to relax and enjoy the luxury of an unhurried lifestyle. Linger over coffee, tea, or wine on the covered deck admiring the lush beauty around you.

*** As we head into the winter months in the mountains, all-wheel drive is strongly recommended, even though the roads in Echota are well-maintained and plowed.***

Fantastic Stay for Thanksgiving and anytime

My family and I stayed in this beautiful condo during Thanksgiving. It was beautiful! The condo had everything we needed and the condo's view of the mountains was breathtaking. The furnishings were classy and so cozy. Even though the condo was on top of the mountain, it is still very close to shops and restaurants. We definitely will come back!

About the host

Hosted by Doug & Mary Stokes

Host profile image
Doug and I both grew up in South Carolina and still live there. His family would bring him to the Boone/Banner Elk/Blowing Rock area as a child. When we married, we would bring our family to this beautiful area. A favorite memory is traveling to Boone to get fresh-cut Christmas trees for our home in South Carolina.

Why they chose this property

We had stayed in Echota twice before buying this property, coincidentally, in the same building both times. The views of Grandfather mountain will just take your breath away. When this unit became available, we knew that we had found a home to love.

What makes this property unique

The views! Our condo has unobstructed views from every window. We are an end unit with no properties beside us. There is something special about being in the mountains. It is peaceful and restorative. We hope that you will love our property as much as we do.
