We largely used the condo. There were so many things to do off site! The walls are thin. A seasonal renter was directly below us. Each morning, she had her TV on so loud that we nearly could make out the words. Also, she had 2 dogs that barked. When they did, it felt like they were virtually in our unit. Poor sound containment. Otherwise great!

Everything you need and close to Boone and Banner Elk
Very clean, kitchen was well stocked with cooking items such as bowls, pots, pans and a coffee maker. Great view off the deck. Quiet location but there are people around so we’ll insulated from any noise. Pool was a short drive. Cozy with the fireplace and easy to keep warm.

Perfect Mountain Getaway
I was so lucky to spend 5 weeks in this wonderful unit. I was working in Boone for about a month and my family was able to join me for a good portion of that time. The condo was wonderful with amazing views, comfortable accommodations and a well supplied kitchen. Echota is a great property with a nice pool and lodge and after visiting another condo there during my stay, THIS is the one to rent. Should I go to Boone again for an extended stay, this will be my choice!
