About this apartment rental
Come and relax at RETREAT ON THE RIDGE, a newly furnished and decorated top floor corner condo with 180-degree breathtaking layered views in the upscale Echota neighborhood. A 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with remodeled kitchen is just what you are looking for in your next vacation getaway. Nestled in the hills above Foscoe, this hidden gem sits in a peaceful gated community with swimming pools, hot tub, and fitness center. Come escape to our mountain retreat and explore the High Country any season!
This condo has a spacious deck with a comfortable vibe and did we mention the views? The private deck is accessible from the large master king bedroom or the main living space. The open concept living area has cozy seating facing the fireplace and the majestic mountain views. The queen bedroom and second bathroom can double as a private suite.
Guests can journey to the upstairs loft and utilize as a lounge for movie or game night. The loft easily converts to the third bedroom with two twin beds. In the summer months walk to the clubhouse with hot tub, pool and fitness center. In the winter months a drive down to the indoor pool and hot tub can be a real treat!
Located in the center of the High Country, a short drive will take you to shopping, restaurants, skiing, hiking and all the area attractions in Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, Boone, Sugar Mountain (9 miles) and Beech Mountain (16 miles). Plus, Echota boasts a private, 25-acre, riverside park with a picnic pavilion and grill on the Watauga River, fishing ponds, and miles of hiking and walking trails for guests to enjoy. Everything you need is right here for a "Retreat on the Ridge"!
*4X4 or AWD is highly recommended in the winter months!

Beautiful views and functional two bedrooms plus loft. Kitchen was adequate but could use a few more bath towels. Also, a few luggage racks and a hook on the back of bath door would be helpful. A bath safety handle bar would help since both baths have tubs and have big step in (especially for those of us close to 70). Overall, great updated unit with awesome views! Around 9:00 pm the fireflies come out during the summer and are so beautiful.

What a great place to stay. Incredible views! Close to everything but you feel far away. The owners were a delight to work with. Very informative and helpful. We will be back for sure!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this beautiful home during our daughters' graduation from App State. The view is stunning. The home is spacious and worked perfectly for what we needed. The community amenities are wonderful - I wish we had more time to really enjoy all the amenities. The rhododendrons were blooming beautifully! We will be back!
