What a BEAUTIFUL property. Decor was amazing, the views from the porch are amazing! Very well appointed property. I would highly recommend! We enjoyed our stay very much.

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!

This place is great. Clean and updated. Had all the things we needed for our girls weekend. The indoor pool and hot tub were nice and conveniently located. The nature trail across the street was so pretty and quiet. Good location to restaurants and other activities

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.
- Katie S. , Posted: 03/02/2021
The place was fantastic, just as it pictured. Very clean. Easy to get to Boon and Sugar Mountain. We throughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

Nicely furnished and decorated, great views from the deck and master bedroom, highly recommended
- Terence T. , Posted: 07/20/2018
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!
- matthew r. , Posted: 01/19/2018
We really enjoyed our stay in this unit. Very nice, very clean and very comfortable.
