Beautiful Mountain Top, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 2-6)
Spacious 2 bedroom / 2 bath top floor condo with sleeper loft
This is a Top Floor Loft Unit........ not to be confused with some lower level units listed! Top floor units have vaulted ceilings in the master bedroom and dining/living room areas - giving them a more open, roomier feel. A wall of windows allows for a great view of the mountains looking from the inside out. Climb the spiral staircase to the sleeping loft. Take in the amazing views from the deck which also has a vaulted ceiling!
Relax in our beautiful, fully furnished home away from home.
We are located in Echota on the Ridge in the small town of Foscoe, North Carolina, just minutes from Boone, Banner Elk, Blowing Rock and Valle Crucis. The Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain, Tweetsie Railroad, Linville Falls/Caverns and the Original Mast General Store are all just a short drive away. Enjoy the cooler temperatures during June, July and August while everyone else is sweltering. The surrounding mountains turn into a patchwork quilt of oranges, reds, yellows and browns as Mother Nature transitions from summer to fall. Winter activities abound at Hawksnest Snow Tubing or one of the local ski resorts - Appalachian, Sugar Mountain or Beech Mountain.
When we say top of the mountain, we mean the TOP of the mountain! Echota on the Ridge is beautifully situated atop the ridgeline where the views are as unforgettable as the memories! Located on 97 scenic acres, this gated community features breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Take in the spectacular ridge-top views from our spacious 2 bedroom / 2 bath condo. The unit will comfortably sleep up to 6 people.
The master bedroom has a king-size bed with an ensuite bathroom (tub/shower combo), plus direct access to the deck!
The guest suite includes a bedroom with a queen-size bed and adjoining bathroom (tub/shower combo). The suite can be closed off from the rest of the unit for added privacy.
Both bedrooms are equipped with flat screen TVs and Roku / Netflix for your enjoyment.
Loft area features 2 twin beds. Perfect for letting the kids unwind and be kids.
Relax in the Family Room and watch your favorite TV show or movie on the 42-inch flat screen HDTV - cable and DVD player are provided for your pleasure. Enjoy music from the local radio stations or your favorite CDs with our deluxe sound system - outside deck speakers allow you to listen to music as you sit on the deck and gaze out across the mountain ridges. After a busy day of exploring the High Country, warm up in front of our stacked-stone gas fireplace with a glass of wine or cup of hot cocoa.
In addition, you will find a great selection of Family / Kid DVDs, board games and books to use during your visit.
Stay connected to the web with our secure Wi-Fi.
Whether cooking in or ordering carry-out, our dining set will comfortably seat 6 with additional seating at the breakfast bar.
If you like to cook, you will find all the essentials necessary to put together a culinary delight for you and your guests.
But we saved one of the best features for last - our DECK! Enjoy the breath-taking, panoramic mountain views as you relax and unwind in one of our Adirondack gliders.
A table, benches and electric grill are also available on the deck for alfresco dining.
An indoor pool and fitness center is located in the Echota Clubhouse (a quick five-minute drive away) or it’s just a short walk to the beautiful Echota on the Ridge Clubhouse (it's absolutely gorgeous). The Clubhouse is the perfect place to play a game of pool, swim in the outdoor pool, workout on the exercise equipment, connect to the free internet, or just sit and enjoy the many comforts while reading a book or watching the big screen TV.
You will certainly enjoy your stay at our second home and we'll bet you'll want to visit again real soon.
If you'd like any additional information on things to do, or just have questions - drop us an email and we'll promptly respond.
We've got some great rates right now - don't wait to book your escape!
For pricing and questions please email us. Three night minimum stay for holiday weekends (Martin Luther King's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,Thanksgiving and Christmas)

Our family loved this beautiful, well appointed condo. The views from the deck are spectacular. The amenities at Echota are equally wonderful- we enjoyed both the heated outdoor pool and the indoor pool on a rainy day. The home is cozy and well decorated, making it feel like home away from home. We will be back!
10.0
Probably the best VRBO we have stayed in. Everything you could possibly need for a stay is provided from shampoo, hair tools and make-up wipes to coffee,

Excellent choice! I would definitely stay here again.

Immaculate property with a gorgeous view and comfy beds. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. Already looking into booking again for next summer!
10.0
Enjoyed our short stay. Hosts were very communicative and thoughtful. I loved the list of things to do and the coffee and tea bar.
10.0
Everything was amazing. Everything was there that we could have ever anticipate needing. Instructions were point on. View was fabulous. The only negative was that there was roofing work being done from approximately 9-8 every day. I felt like this would have been something that we could have been made aware of so we could plan accordingly. We had planned 1 day for rest & relaxation but instead, leaving due to the noise.
10.0
We only got to stay one night but it was beautiful. Anything you could possibly need or want it was available. The place is amazing. Every little detail was thought of and taken care of. When the kids found out we were only staying one night they asked me to try to get more days in the place. There are toys and games for all ages. The beds are quite comfortable. The view is just incredible. I couldn't find my email to check in so I sent a message for help. The response was immediate. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to relax and feel at home. Worth every penny.
10.0
Everything about this property was wonderful. The location, the cleanliness, the little amenities provided by the host, the home itself - all of it was amazing. My family and I spent almost a week here and had such a fabulous time. We are already looking forward to coming back next summer.
10.0
This was, without a doubt, the best VRBO we have stayed in. The view was incredible, the rooms spacious, and the location perfect. But the best part was that it was perfect for those with families, even those with babies or toddlers. We were so impressed and felt so at home with the set up here. 100% recommend!
10.0
This condo was amazing! Very clean, extra blankets provided if needed. A coffee bar, information about things to do and see in the area. The view from the balcony was stunning.
10.0
The condo was perfect for our group. Pristine condition, wonderfully decorated and equipped. The back deck was amazing with views of the valley. Very relaxing place and the peanut butter cookies were delicious and a special treat! Close to Boone for shopping and dinner too. Loved it!
10.0
Absolutely a beautiful place. The view from the back porch is breathtaking. Host made sure to think of everything you may need, including fresh strawberries on the kitchen counter. Driving up the mountain to get to the condo was an adventure in itself, and so worth it! Perfect location if you enjoy hiking or just relaxing by the pool that gives you a gorgeous view of the Blue Ridge Mountains, including Grandfather Mountain.

We are frequent visitors to the area- staying in Blowing Rock and Banner Elk. This is the best condo we’ve stayed at by far! Helene and Mike are the best and this condo has every amenity you could think of. It was decorated for the season, amazing views, great location. We will definitely be back!

This was such a beautiful condo up in the mountains, with amazing views. The owners had every possible amenity available along with the cutest Easter decorations. It was so clean, warm and cozy, and a perfect vacation spot. There was a full kitchen with spices, cooking oil, foil, and Ziploc bags along with bath bombs in the bathroom. We loved it! Also, this was a perfect location for all the activities in the area.

My college friends and I decided to go back to where it all began to celebrate our 50th birthdays. We all graduated from App State and had a wonderful weekend reminiscing. The condo was gorgeous and had everything we needed. The location was perfect! We plan to stay again!

Loved this property. Super close to everything we needed as well as snow tubing. Condo was clean and very spacious. All of the extra touches really made a difference. Quiet. Clean. Kiddo friendly. Would def stay here again.
10.0
This has to be the most perfect place to stay in the mountains. Even with all the modern amenities, the house is so warm and cozy. Decorated and supplied with all the care that a lovely host would share, it felt like staying at a good friend’s home.
Additional amenities not shared on the website - gracious hosts from whom I never once had to wait for a reply and who were so kind and welcoming; a majestic view of the stars at night and a breathtaking sunrise in the morning; a welcome packet that includes fun things to do in the area. (I would have never known about that Alpine Coaster without it!) Our hosts were simply lovely, their home is beautiful, and it made our family vacation so special.
If I could, I’d give this review as many stars as were sparkling over the mountain that late evening.
10.0
The unit is absolutely amazing, great layout and beautifully decorated. Very inviting and the host provided everything that we needed and the coffee bar was a delight! I can’t wait to go back.

We had the best time staying here this weekend! We had everything we needed and more! We spent our days snow skiing at Sugar Mountain, hiking to see Linville Falls & enjoying the Linville Falls Winery. At night we would enjoy a cup of coffee and watch Netflix movies! It’s the perfect location to do all the things! We even got to see a little snow before we left to head back home! We really enjoyed our stay and plan to hopefully come back! I highly recommend! 😁

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful and cozy condo. The condo was spotlessly clean. The beds were comfortable. My grandkids really enjoyed the indoor pool and the kids loft. Everything you could need and more is provided. The coffee bar and the fresh baked cookies on arrival were such a treat. The view is amazing. We will definitely be back. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

This is our second stay in this unit and our 8th stay in this development. This is by far the best condo. It is beautiful, immaculately clean, comfortable, well stocked kitchen and has many other extras too numerous to mention. Owner is so accommodating and easy to work with. My family is looking forward to our next visit.
