Great place!

The stay was part of a ski trip we gave our son and his family as a Christmas gift. Turns out, skiing was rather difficult for them, however, they said the highlight of their stay was the VRBO condo where they stayed. They said the Christmas decorations were beautiful and our grandsons enjoyed the Hot chocolate bar and the games the host left for them to play. The view was amazing and the location was convienient. While another ski excursion may not lie in their future, they would certainly enjoy a return trip to this beautiful mountain home.

Wonderful Stay

My family recently stayed at “Hilltop Haven” in the Echota Resort community through VRBO, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The booking process was smooth and straightforward, with clear communication from the host.Upon arrival, the property exceeded our expectations. It was very clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was perfect for our needs, offering easy access to Beech Mountain, Boone, Banner Elk and local restaurants. The neighborhood was quiet and the roads well maintained for winter weather. Our host, Janeen, was incredibly accommodating and responsive to any questions we had, providing helpful recommendations for things to do in the area.Overall, I highly recommend this property and would definitely return for another visit. Thank you for a memorable stay!

About the host

Hosted by Janeen FM

Host profile image
My husband and I have lived on the North Carolina coast all of our lives and have been married for 28 years. We have two adult children and a very large extended family. We love riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway, hiking the many trails in the area, and enjoying the cool, refreshing air of the lush mountains. We love sharing our second home with people — a place of respite and peace.

Why they chose this property

Through the years we have always dreamed of owning a little slice of heaven in the mountains. When we discovered Echota we knew we had found the perfect location because it is right in the middle of all the places we love to visit in Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk. We were certain we found the perfect place when we walked inside and saw the magnificent view of Grandfather Mountain from the kitchen, family room, primary bedroom, and back porch. Watching the sun move across the rugged face of that mountain all day is like watching the Creator do a live painting -- it's a grand view without the hike!

What makes this property unique

The grand view of Grandfather Mountain is the hallmark of this property coupled with it being entry level and no stairs makes it ideal for any age. Since the condo is an end unit, there is a ton of natural light inside and the private corner back porch has a built-in gas grill.
