We’ve stayed at Echota many times over the years and always really enjoyed it. This time was no different and we found that our host, Paul had great communication and was super helpful with local recommendations. Check-in was seamless, the unit was clean and well equipped and the views were spectacular.I highly recommend staying at Echota if you’re visiting the High Country.

Thank you Chris, I am glad to see you enjoyed your stay at our home and in the area. I appreciate you entrusting our plaxe for your stay and for taking the time to leave a review. Best Regards, Paul
This is a really nice unit and with absolutely amazing view. The best surprise was this unit faces East, so the sunrises are spectacular and worth getting up early to view! Echota is very conveniently located for sightseeing, grocery stores, really good restaurants and Grandfather Mountain.Paul responds quickly and patiently answered all my questions. Just know this is the bottom unit of the 3 stories so you have to go down steps, but the view is just as nice.We will definitely be coming back.

Thank you Brittani, It was nice meeting you and your family when you were heading out. Thank you for choosing not only our place but for visiting the Boone, Blowing Rock areas after our area had fully reopened. You and your family are welcome back anytime. Best Regards Paul
Yes, everything was in good order. It was nice of the owner to reach out to us during our stay to ask if we needed anything or had any questions. We have been staying at various condos in Echota on The Ridge since 2014 and this is the first time an owner has reached out to us.
Clean property, perfect location and beautiful scenery! Had a wonderful Christmas with the family! 💚❤️

We really enjoyed our recent stay at Echota on the Ridge. The property is well cared for, and stocked to meet our needs. There was plenty of space for all of us to relax and enjoy our time together. The views are gorgeous! Paul was a great host and all communications were clear and helpful.

Thanks for entrusting us with your Thanksgiving plans as there are ma y homes to pick from. I am glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. You are welcome to return at another time if you choose to. Best Regards and Happy Holidays Paul
We have stayed at a similar place on the property before, but this was even better! The host checked in with me and offered assistance if at all needed. The place was extremely clean and the host had even turned the AC on a little cooler, to make it more comfortable. The views from this place are absolutely stunning! We loved the peace and quiet of sitting on the back deck in the morning and evenings. Attached is a photo of the sunrise this morning.
Echota condo Peace and Tranquility was absolutely wonderful. We visited the area for skiing over a long weekend. The condo was more perfect than described. The morning sunrise was stunning. The condo was extremely clean, very comfortable and well appointed! The indoor pool and hot tub were relaxing after spending the day outside in cold temperatures. Communication with the owners was spot on and the check in/out procedures were very clear.

Thank you Jill. I am so glad that everything met or bettered your expectations. Paul
This property met all of our expectations and then some. Clean, comfortable, and peaceful sums up our three night stay. The view of the sunrise each morning was stunning, and the security of a gated community added to our peace of mind. The owner was super, checking in with us upon our arrival and ensuring that we were comfortable. We’ll be back, not soon enough!

Thank you Robert. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at our Peace and Tranquility. We were happy to host you. Best Regards, Paul
Wonderful unit in the best mountain community. We love Echota and stay in this community often - the indoor pool is a favorite for our family. This unit has everything you need for a cozy stay and a very caring host. We visited with snow on the ground, so the sleds and snow shovel were greatly appreciated. A working fireplace would have made things even cozier, but it is listed that the fireplace doesn't work and it was on me for overreading that. All in all a wonderful stay and we would visit again.

Thank you Ashley for taking the time to review our condo. I am glad the sleds and shovel were helpful. I was really happy ro hear your children got to try out those saucers in the snow. Thank you for choosing our Echota condo for tbis years visit. Best Regards Paul
We enjoyed our stay here so much! Upon check-in, it was very clean. The kitchen is very well stocked. There was adequate seating both in the kitchen, living room and outdoor balcony area. Beds were very comfortable. The owner is accommodating and was very responsive. The only down side is that we wanted to soak In the hot tub at the clubhouse after our hike. However, it was drained and closed for repairs, maybe for the fall and winter.

LaDonna, I am sorry about the hot tub at the outdoor clubhouse having maintenance. Echota had not informed the owners. There is an indoor clubhouse that was and is available with heated indoor pool and a hot tub. I wish I had known as I would have told you. It is also in the Welcome book with map directions posted. You were great guests. Always feel free to reach out during your stay as I am just a phone text away from assisting you. Best Regards Paul
We enjoyed our stay on the Ridge. Our boys enjoyed fishing on the lower pond, which is by the indoor pool. They caught some fish.
The outdoor pool is relaxing and a short walk from the condo. The clubhouse has a pool table and workout facility. You are close to many of the local attractions.
The view from the back porch is beautiful. If you are an early riser you can watch the sun come up over the mountains.
The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. They had your basic seasonings.
I will say the location is high up. That does allow for beautiful views and cool weather.

Thank you and so glad you enjoyed our place but also that you got to make adventures and memories while you were here.
The property is everything as advertised. The views from the deck are amazing. The beds are super comfortable!! It was cold over Thanksgiving so the fireplace was awesome to warm cold hands!! We cooked in dinner each day and the kitchen had everything you need. Paul the owner is super responsive and checks in to make sure all is going good!! Two things to note: 1) it's a regular coffee maker (not a Keurig), remember to bring coffee as there isn't any there. 2) Be aware the condo is high in the mountains (hence the awesome views). There is no "quick" way up or down it. This was what we wanted but others may not realize this!!! Once to the main road, you're about 15 minutes from Boone or Sugar. Great trip and great condo. No issues at all!!!!
From the initial communication with the host to the moment we departed, everything was seamless and enjoyable.
The cleanliness of the place was impeccable. It was evident that great care had been taken to ensure that the property was spotless upon our arrival. The attention to detail was remarkable, and we felt immediately at ease in our surroundings.
One of the highlights of our stay was the tranquility of the surroundings. Nestled in a peaceful area, the property offered a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We were able to relax and unwind, enjoying the quiet ambiance and stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
The amenities provided were exceptional. The pools were clean and well-maintained, providing the perfect opportunity to cool off on warm days. The gym facilities were also top-notch, allowing us to maintain our fitness routine even while on vacation.
Overall, this property had everything we needed and more for a memorable stay. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home. We are already looking forward to our next visit!
