Thank you for your review! We are happy you enjoyed your stay with us at Echota on the Ridge. If you are visiting again, we would love to have you back.
Loved our stay. Everything was exactly as described, and hosts made it very easy. Thank you for a great stay for our son’s App State graduation.

Thank you for your review, and congratulations on your son's graduation from App! If you are ever visiting the High Country again, we would love to have you stay again!
The condo was wonderful, the patio was great and there were beautiful views of the hills surrounding. The pool was great but not very close, needed to drive to it. Also the resort is really not very walkable which is a bummer. It would otherwise be a beautiful place to take a walk but there are no sidewalks and the roads are steep and windy so not very safe with kids.

Thank you so much for the kind words about the condo, patio, and views! We're thrilled you enjoyed those features and the pool.
We'd love to host you again, thank you for choosing us!
Great views, comfortable stay, property had nice amenities, a lot of rules compared to other properties I've VRBO'ed but very clearly marked and communicated. Remember you will need to bring shampoo, conditioner and hair dryer. If cooking, need to bring all seasonings and condiments. Down the street from the outdoor pool, hot tub, and community building amenity area with gym and pool table. Indoor pool area is up the neighboring mountain but very close by. I'd come back here if returning to the area.

We loved having you here and would be delighted to welcome you back anytime you're in the area. Safe travels!
Clean home, nice floorplan. Grandkids wanted to live there :) A couple of minor things need fixing: ceiling fan in front bdrm on left doesn't work and in the master the door onto the back porch doesn't close or open at all easily (feels like its locked and refusing to open or shut). A tad confusing when they want the dishwasher running when you leave but also want the water turned off . Overall we really enjoyed this home and community. Beautiful property. We hope to stay there again.

Great stay in RS3!
We actually stayed in RS3. It was beautiful, functional, and spacious with a spectacular view. This is the second time staying in Echota, two different condos, both awesome. Will definitely be returning.

Beautiful, clean, just as pictured. The only draw back was no place "flat" enough for kids to run around some. We did make use of indoor pool to get out some energy, so that made up for it. Great place, hope to return!

Thank you for your review, we hope you enjoyed your stay and visit to Tweetsie Railroad. If you are back in the area again, you may want to visit the nature park across from our office. It offers a walking path and river frontage, perfect for kids to run off some energy!
Everything was great! The views were amazing! The kitchen was stocked with everything as far as cooking utensils. However if you need anything as far as cooking spray/spices/napkins/paper towels remember to bring your own. We will definitely come back!

It was a nice property but smaller than what I thought. It was very convenient to Sugar Mountain. The amenities with the pool are a little clunky but they were accessible when you figured that part out as you bud to drive off campus. Gorgeous views!!
While the check in and out was easy, the security of your system is questionable, as anyone can grab any packet.

Thank you for your review, we love hearing your experience was stress free. Thankfully we have never had any issues with our packets, plus we have on-site security. We currently are in the process of changing to keyless entry for all properties, so in the next few months all check-ins will be packet free! We would love to have you visit with us again if you are ever visiting the High Country again.
The location and accommodations were excellent. The only thing missing was access to more nature at the Echota site. Plan to use a car to get anywhere. I enjoyed my trek to the clubhouse, but I had to walk on the road and suspect some people would have driven to the fitness room, pool, and pool table. Overall, it was a great experience.
