Echota Ridge Boulders - 4bd home in Echota with views

Do you need an inspiring escape to recharge from the hectic pace of daily life? Our guests at Echota Ridge Boulders find respite in this lovely natural setting complete with large boulders. Perched near the outdoor ridgetop pool and clubhouse, this resort home also boasts a spectacular long-range mountain view. This picturesque Echota vacation rental is the ideal mountain retreat for families or a group of couples traveling together, with a convenient location that is still within ten minutes from historic downtown Boone, Valle Crucis or Banner Elk, and still an easy drive to area ski slopes, the Blue Ridge Parkway and more.

From the moment you open the front door, you will enjoy the tremendous view of the Blue Ridge mountains from throughout the main living areas as well as the master bedroom. You will feel right at home in the living room with comfortable seating, a large television and gas fireplace for chilly Winter evenings. All five TVs in the home have access to Spectrum TV services.

Prepare your homecooked favorites in the spacious and open fully equipped kitchen before gathering in the dining room where every meal feels like a special occasion surrounded by the natural beauty and wonder that is the Blue Ridge Mountains. The main deck is a wonderful spot to enjoy the mountain vista any time of day or the stars at night. With the large charcoal grill, it is the perfect spot for enjoying a meal with family, having evening cocktails, or reading a book.

With just over 2000 square feet, Echota Ridge Boulders offers two comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the main level. The master bedroom has a king bed, flat screen television, and boasts a bathroom suite with dual sinks, large jetted tub and walk-in shower, walk-in closet, and access to the deck. On the other side of the home, the second bedroom has a queen bed and shares the hall bath.

The third bedroom is located upstairs, bright and inviting. There is a king bed here, as well as a set of twin bunks. This is a great option for the kids to share, or perhaps for families whose children are not quite ready to sleep on their own yet. There is a full bath as well, with shower/tub combo.

Downstairs on the lower level, you will find a sitting room that may serve as an additional sleeping area should you wish to spread out more. There is a daybed with two twins, and the fourth full bathroom. This level also features access to the second deck, again with comfortable seating and an inspiring view.

All Echota amenities are available for guest enjoyment, including an indoor swimming pool open all year, an outdoor swimming pool open during summer months with spectacular views, two fitness rooms, the park across from the resort entrance with river access, trails and a picnic pavilion, as well as the stocked fishing ponds near the main resort entrance. Some guests may even enjoy walking down to the outdoor pool, however, be prepared for the steep walk back up to the home.

When you are ready to explore the High Country, the convenient location makes it easy to head to area shops, dining, slopes, wineries, the Blue Ridge Parkway and more. Take the scenic backroads to Valle Crucis, or head over for a day in the eclectic downtown areas of Boone or Banner Elk.

For comfort, relaxation and convenience, you will be hard pressed to find a better, more well-cared for home than Echota Ridge Boulders..

The view is unbeatable. Nice house. About 2000 sq feet so not huge but really plenty of room. Cool temps all day, quiet, near Boone and Banner Elk. Gated, friendly people, easy to get there, 3600 feet altitude. No negatives.

Great family getaway
We went with family friends and had the best weekend! The most useful tool was the book of hikes close by and the ratings based on skill level. We took the kids hiking everyday and they still talk about that as one of their highlights! It was plenty of room to all spread out in the house too even eith 4 adults and 7 children. The property managers responded to everything very quickly!

Cozy Cabin w/ Incredible Views
A couple of friends from our women’s Jiu Jitsu team gathered for a snowboarding adventure with our kids in tow. Our husbands are deployed overseas, one of which recently passed away, so we were desperately seeking a much needed girls weekend. The cabin was cozy, comfortable, and in the perfect location. The view of the mountains was incredible! We loved spending our weekend in Echota and would love to return for future ski trips. We were happy to laugh, make memories, and find peace in the mountains. This incredible place made it possible.

Stay at Boulders
Clean, what anticipated via pics accurate. Access to property in winter too rigid...if cleaned day(s) before or early AM, need to know can entry before 4PM, getting dark. Rely on email from cleaning crew, nothing from Blue Ridge to notify. Also, in winter, 55 too cold when entry, most places 60 as base line in winter. Over all,nice place, enjoy experience staying.

Nice Week In Echota
Overall we had a great stay last week. The beds were comfortable, we had plenty of space for our group. The community amenities and views are spectacular. The only knock I really have on the house is the lack of good water pressure. If someone is taking a shower and you try and run the sink water to wash dishes etc its barely a trickle and makes it hard with a large group. Again thats really the only knock. Loved the stay

Wonderful Vacation Home
The house was just as it looks in the pictures, clean, well stocked, with a great view, and great location. We had plenty of room for our family. The gas fire place was very nice as well. We liked the gated neighborhood.
