This was a wonderful long weekend get away where our whole family met in the mountains! We spent so much time on the deck admiring the view and spending time together. We cooked a few dinners in and everything we needed was there and other nights it was easy to find restaurants close. Communication was easy and quick and we felt taken care of the whole time. If you’re thinking of booking…do it!

Perfect getaway

The condo was tastefully decorated and beds were comfortable. The view was outstanding! We all enjoyed our stay and having 3 king beds was a big plus in our book - especially for our two teen/young adults boys. We’ve been to Echota before, and this unit was one of our favorites.
