Echota Wintergreen Views

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and take a breather at Echota Wintergreen Views. The name says it all, as every morning and evening can be spent soaking up mountain views from the furnished deck with a cup of coffee or glass of wine in hand.

When you step inside, you will immediately feel welcome and at peace with calming green tones throughout, tall ceilings, and a wonderfully open great room complete with plush furnishings, a TV, and a gas fireplace to cozy up beside on chill winter nights. There is no better way to end a perfect day than a warm home-cooked meal, so hop into the full kitchen and take advantage of the stainless steel appliances, Keurig coffee maker, and high-end cookware to whip up any recipe with ease. When the stars come out everyone can gather for game nights at the dining table or retreat to each bedroom and get a bit of peace and quiet.

There's no shortage of entertainment right here on the property. Explore Echota Resort's 25-acre riverside park hiking trails or splash year-round at the enormous indoor pool and hot tub beneath a vaulted ceiling with skylights. Head outside to the mountain view pool with a rock waterfall feature in the summer. Get active on the bocce/croquet court or one of the fitness centers and then relax at one of the TV lounges or relax on one of the patios with a book from a library. Gamers can head to the on-site arcade or shoot some pool.

If you choose to venture farther out, you'll be a short drive away from ski resorts and Grandfather Mountain State Park.

The mountains are calling, so treat yourself to that long-awaited vacation today!

Perfect break from the summer heat

My family and I spent a wonderful long weekend at this spot. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the deck and overlooking such gorgeous view. The condo was comfortable, centrally located and very relaxing. A must stay gem hidden in a beautiful gated community.

Great cozy mountain retreat!

We had a great time here, the home is clean and well-cared for. The kitchen and baths have everything you need (though I always recommend bringing soma extra towels, pillows, blankerts and kitchen supplies). The weather could have been better for our stay, but it just gave us more time to enjoy the mountain views and sunrises, which were great! We hope to stay here again soon.

Another win for Vacasa

We’ve now stayed a few times at properties hosted by Vacasa and we’ve never been disappointed. Great location, clean condo, easy check in and out - what more could you ask for? We stayed with our friends and their kids and we both had our private bed and bath - complete with breathtaking views. Will definitely be back soon!

Great Getaway at a Beautiful Condo

We had a great time at this well furnished condo. It has a well stocked kitchen that we put to good use since we got unexpected snow ❄️. Condo was super comfy and cozy for our family. Hoping to return soon! Thank you for letting us stay at your cute place!

Fun trip with a baby

This was our third time staying here. Everytime has been great. We really enjoy the area and the access to a lot of fun areas. We were a little disappointed with the cleanliness of the unit this time though. It was 60 degrees inside upon arrival, there was a pretzel and some trash on the floor, there was mold in the bath tub, and I I found a blood stain on my pillow case. Other than that the unit is well equipped for a good time and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful, private mountain get away

Perhaps it's the time of year, even though the home is a condo, it felt very secluded and private. We didn't realize how foggy it can get and stayed a night in with the cozy fireplace. Only a 20 minute drive to town for shops and restaurants. It even snowed a little before we left. The condo was clean, comfortable, and tastefully updated. It was a perfect long weekend getaway and we can't wait to return!

Excellent view with a comfy stay

We loved the comfy feel of the condo - outdoor furniture is a plus and the view is spectacular. Well stocked kitchen and large fridge is super helpful. Some lows - The furniture covers are filthy as are the bedspreads and throw pillows. The condo needs a good cleaning and kitchen cabinet doors are dirty. Bathrooms could use some love as well. Overall the condo was perfect for the 4 of us and we loved the silence and memories we made.

Overall the stay was good

The stay was overall nice . We just had trouble getting up the last hill due to the ice on the ground we had to call a tow truck . And the rep that was helping us and reserving was nice but did not supply all of the codes to enter the home in an appropriate manner. That delayed our entrance into the home but once we got it in it was beautiful and the view was amazing.

Great views and comfortable place

The home was clean and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen and linens. They had plenty of towels and pool towels for us, which can be rare for rentals! We were disappointed that the outdoor hot tub wasn't open near us (probably expensive to heat with limited use in the winter/spring) but went to the indoor one a few miles away and enjoyed that. I imagine the pool and hottub by this unit is amazing in the summer and fall. The area was beautiful but know you are taking a windy road with a lot of switchbacks to get down to any stores or towns. We were there to relax so it wasn't a big deal but it definitely factored into our plans. Lastly, part of the dining room table was broken and I tried to contact management to make sure they knew about it but could not message them and the emails we got were no reply so we couldn't contact them.

"The Almost Perfect Condo!"

My husband & I stayed for 2 nights in this gorgeous condo with the spectacular views from the porch. It was clean, and comfortable plus had a kitchen that was well stocked. Location was great for our day trips to Blowing Rock & Boone. We loved the new wicker furniture on the porch and used it daily. What views! I posted a bunch of early morning photos and some sunset views from the road. The reason I didn't give it a 5* rating is that it mentioned that Netflix would be available and we were glad since we use Netflix at home. When we tried to watch Netflix in the evening, it only had "kids" that you could watch and when we clicked on the "Jason" name...it said "There is not an account for this household." So there was not a lot to what we could watch...lots of sports, wrestling, etc. Also, it would be a good idea to put some blinds or shades on the doors leading out to the porch because when the sun comes up in the morning and shining brightly there is a definite glare for a long time and hard to fix breakfast shining right on you!

GREAT CONDO WITH GREAT VIEWS

We enjoyed the location of the Condo and all the amenities included. Spectacular Mountain View’s. The Condo was very clean with the exception of the Master bathroom toilet and the Deck Furniture cushions. And not enough toilet paper. Also, Keypad Entry was not functioning correctly and we had to use the actual key, which was a bit of ordeal accessing. Too long of a story to type out. The guest bathroom tub - was draining very slow - needs Drain- O or some type of drainage applied to it. We enjoyed our stay very much and we really like the Condo we stayed in vice the problems noted above. But biggest issue that we had with this whole process is: why I booked through Vrbo, but was also dealing with Vacasa? I requested detailed Check In and Check Out instructions from Vacasa multiple times but got very general information at best. Last year we stayed at Sunset Beach NC - booked through Vrbo, we and very precise and detailed Check In/ Out instructions, along with detailed instructions as to all the amenities we had access to and how to access them and where they were located, etc. None of that for this vacation stay. Just had to figure a bunch of that out through trial and error. Very frustrating. If we go back to Echota, which probably will, we will just go through Foscoe Rentals. My sister-in-law said that they are easier to use and give you all the information you need. Thank you.
