This unit offered a incredible view of Grandfather Mountain from the living room, master suite and porch. It was wonderful to relax and enjoy the vista. There are plenty of windows to allow natural light into the unit. The unit is comfortable, spacious and offered ample storage throughout. The kitchen is well equipped. The beds were comfortable enough for us. It should be noted that the fireplace is now a noisy electric insert. We thought it would be a gas fireplace so that was disappointing. This is a second floor unit. It is nice that there are no stairs. However there is a price to pay for that convenience. The owners live upstairs. The floors are thin enough that it sounded like a herd of elephants were at the rodeo. It should be noted that you need a car to drive to the resort clubhouse and pools. The roads are very steep, curvy and do not allow for walking around. We would like to return to Echota however it will only be if we can rent a top floor unit.
