Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed your stay and found our condo exceptional. We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable experience.
We had a wonderful stay at this condo! The views were absolutely amazing and something we enjoyed every day. The location couldn’t be better—convenient to the ski slopes and just a short drive to Boone, making it easy to enjoy both outdoor adventures and great dining and shopping. The condo itself was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The grounds felt safe, quiet, and beautifully manicured, which added to the overall relaxing experience. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Thank you for your response, we do not provide towels for the pool areas unfortunately. This information is included in your vacation checklist. We apologize if that caused any inconveniences.
This property was very clean and had gorgeous views of the mountains!
This property was a great space for our family. We enjoyed spectacular views of the mountains on the porch. We will definitely be visiting again! We had a wonderful time and our accommodations at this property were comfortable, quiet and peaceful which is exactly what we all wanted for our vacation!

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in
Overall great
The place was clean and nice. The view was amazing. The only issue was the confusing check in/out directions. It was not clearly stated what to do when you check in after office hours. We drove around in the middle of a storm trying to figure it out. Check out directions were also confusing. The directions listed in the condo were different than the ones we received. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay!

We are happy you enjoyed the condo and apologize for any confusion with your check-in and checkout procedures. Guests receive an email with information for check-in the day prior to arrival with our office address and other important information. Your check-in packet should have contained a highlighted map to the condo from our office. Again, we are sorry for any confusion, but so happy you were able to enjoy your visit to the High Country. Please visit with us again if you are in the area.
Overall we had a really great stay! This is our second stay at the Echota properties and we really enjoy the location, quiet setting, and outstanding views!
My kids loved the loft space and were able to head up there to watch their own shows and enjoy feeling pretty grown up for having their “own area.”
The decor was pleasing and I loved being able to just fire up the fireplace at the end of the day on the slopes!
The only two things I would change if it were my own personal property that I was renting are, I would add curtain panels in the downstairs rooms to help block the morning light and the master bedroom bed was entirely too firm for our liking, and my husband likes a firm/hard bed. It doesn’t have that cozy, luxurious feeling I expect when I stay other places. Otherwise, great property!!

We are happy you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you for your suggestions, we will look into them for future guests! We hope you will visit with us again if you are back in the High Country!
My girlfriends and I had a wonderful weekend getaway at this lovely mountain condo. It is beautifully furnished and we were thoroughly impressed with the cleanliness of the condo. It is nicely located in a quiet private area but yet close enough to enjoy shopping and restaurants in nearby Boone. All of us agreed that we would absolutely stay at this condo again! Overall, it was an excellent experience.
This was a great experience! I would definitely rent this place again!! Very clean, very quiet, safe area!! Very well decorated! No issues with wifi or cable in evenings!! Awesome patio and nice patio furniture & Great views!!! LOVE IT
