Nice place, but dirty kitchen

The place was good. Very clean and comfortable. However, basic aminities like salt, sugar, coffee were not available. The dishes, glasses and bowls were dirty. We had to wash everything before using. I may not visit again. There are lot of other options with better service and way cheaper.

The listing info is quite accurate and pictures give a good indication of the property's attributes. Had a 2nd couple as guests for 3 of our 9 days and there was never any sense of overcrowding. Clean and comfortable. The stairs could be problematic for anyone with mobility issues.

Perfect Mountain Getaway

I was so lucky to spend 5 weeks in this wonderful unit. I was working in Boone for about a month and my family was able to join me for a good portion of that time. The condo was wonderful with amazing views, comfortable accommodations and a well supplied kitchen. Echota is a great property with a nice pool and lodge and after visiting another condo there during my stay, THIS is the one to rent. Should I go to Boone again for an extended stay, this will be my choice!
