Great place for large family gathering for Graduation

This place is fantastic and has plenty of space for a large family. It was well stocked, very clean, and comfortable for our large group. You also have access to the Echota clubhouse facilities and swimming pool / hot tub. We would definitely come back here and would recommend to others.

Beautiful and Relaxing

This community has the cutest and most amazing views. The sunrise was breathtaking! It's super quiet neighborhood although the property is full of townhomes, there's barely any activity of cars, people or noise. The kitchen and bathrooms have everything you need. More than enough blankets and pillows and the beds were really comfy. We would definitely come back to this property.

Quick weekend friends trip

Very clean! Easy to get to. The gate code was not correct that was given in the email but luckily a nice lady behind us told us what it was and get got in. It was very accommodating to have all the starter supplies already there, like dishes, trash bags, bed Linen’s, towels etc. We all would definitely stay at this property again!

The views were amazing! We thought we would have pool access, but ended up not having access to the indoor pool, residents only. We unnecessarily brought extra toilet tissue, paper towels, and hair dryers because the information told us these things were not available or in limited quantity.
