Our Stay

third time staying here. Always been good. A few observations...Please remind the cleaning crew to clean out the coffee maker...it was moldy. figuring out the TV is a nightmare and I am very proficient with electronics. Would love to see new blinds in the master...the ones there have holes and let all the light in in the morning (and at night). Lastly the bedspread on the master bed feels like burlap.

Nice condo close to Sugar

Great location close to Sugar Mtn. Condo was very clean and in good condition. Entry to community off 105 is very steep and windy. Property could use some heavier weight blankets/comforter in the main bedroom.

Beautiful views!

Gorgeous views on a large balcony. Comfortable beds. Adequate space for a family of four. Nice games and movie selection. The indoor pool is about a 7 minute drive away, but the outdoor pool is very close (it was closed for the season during our stay in October) The fireplace wasn’t working and in an overnight windstorm the screen door blew off. We didn’t try the fireplace till second night and it was after hours so we didn’t bother calling to have it fixed. Half of the towels had a very strong mildew smell which I’m guessing maybe they were left damp in the dryer for a time. Overall though it was lovely.

Needs a Good Cleaning

This condo was okay, it’s definitely showing it’s age and that it’s a rental. Needs a really good deep cleaning and all of the drawers are filled with stuff. There was not a single cabinet to put food in, we had to pile it all on the counter. The pictures make it look bigger than it is, was cramped for a family of 4. We love this complex but would look for a different unit next time.

Perfect ski weekend getaway

Great location close to all three ski resorts, condo is very well maintained, and instructions (including hot water heater, etc.) were clear and easy to follow. Foscoe as a rental company was great for check-in and pickup of keys, reminders about checkout, and even provided a great ski equipment rental option, too (with delivery). Echota on the Ridge is a beautiful community, but make sure you have a four wheel drive vehicle and or chains as its not a drive for those inexperienced in driving in snow&ice; definitely worth the view once you make it up the mountain though!

Nice view

The property is lovely with awesome views. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. There are a few ways that the trip could have been more pleasant. I think the description of the property could be a little clearer. When it says the unit is downstairs it should actually read down stairs so it is obvious that there are two sets of stairs to go down. Also, one reason we chose this location was because of the hot tub and indoor pool. I don’t see where it’s stated that those amenities are not at the location but in a different neighborhood. That was very disappointing. There is a nicely arranged binder containing useful information in the unit. Instead of sending so many emails, it would have been more efficient to scan it and email it with anything else important so all of the pertinent information is in one email. I have stayed in other VRBO locations and it’s typical to load and turn on the dishwasher when you leave. Having to have all of the dishes washed and put away, meant we had to wash and dry dishes by hand while trying to pack up and leave. We arrived later than anticipated, had some questions about the check-in but none of us had cell service on the property.

Mother Daughter Weekend

Wonderful 4 day weekend in Boone. Beautiful property with almost panoramic Mountain View’s. Only criticism was that we couldn’t figure out how to turn on the gas fireplace. This was minor as we truly enjoyed the quiet and the beauty of the location as well as proximity to restaurants and attractions. Would definitely stay there again!

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! 5 Star!

The view was amazing! The kitchen had everything you could need! Beds were comfortable! We played the board games every night with our son. We loved the indoor pool and hot tub! Super clean changing showers/bathrooms with soap to get ready to go out afterwards. Everyone was friendly. Had a problem with the sink draining and they came right and fixed it. We will definitely be back! I highly recommend this place and town!
