good experience - house perfect size for 5- only concern was the limitations on paper towels and trash bags- we wanted to spend most of our time cooking meals and don’t understand how limiting those made sense -the biggest cincern was the location of the indoor hot tub and pool ir was at a different location and neither was heated - the hot tub was not even luke warm- I would have rated it a 5 if it were not for the issue with the location and warmth of the hot tub.

The condo was very clean and well taken care of. Full access to the pools and fitness centers are a huge bonus. The community is absolutely stunning. Only two set backs were the boxspring on the master king bed squeaked every time someone rolled over, and the pullout couch in the kids bedroom was broken which created some issues. It would be best not to count on the pull out couch feature for extra sleeping room for the kids.

On a cold, blustery Buffalo, NY January day, my husband and I took to vrbo.com to see if we could find a vacation spot for the summer months. He went to App State, so we started our research in the mountains of North Carolina. We quickly came upon Foscoe Rentals and the units they offer, and we immediately booked for Echota on the Ridge, Cedar Woods, RT1 - a lovely three bedroom, three and a half bath condo. We always cross our fingers and hope for the best... and this unit was hands-down, incredible!
Four adults and two children enjoyed a solid week of peace and quiet. The pictures of the unit truly do not give it justice. The views were stunning - half of the trip we were above the clouds and looking down, while the other half we were in them (my eight year-old was thrilled)! Everyone had their own space, and we came together in the common areas and kitchen frequently. The balconies were fantastic and a favorite sitting place for the adults.
The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed (and many items we didn't know we needed until we used them!). Linens were plentiful in all bedrooms and baths.
The pools - both of which we frequented were lovely. The clubhouse on the Ridge property offered a change of scenery from the condo and another quiet place.
Echota on the Ridge was relatively close to everything - we visited Mystery Hill, Blowing Rock (several times), went to Asheville twice and ziplined. Attraction brochures and maps were plentiful both in the unit and at the rental office.
We will absolutely return - specifically to this unit again in the future. A wonderful trip and a fantastic place to stay. Highly recommended! Thank you Foscoe Rentals!
