Escape the Heat in the High Country - 3 King Bedrooms & Amazing Views!
What's just as beautiful as fall in the High Country? Summer in the High Country! Spend your next vacation at RidgeCrest- our Beautiful Mountain Retreat and the perfect place to escape the summer heat! Nestled in the breathtaking North Carolina Mountains - perfectly situated between Boone and Banner Elk. This is the perfect couples retreat with 3 King en suite bedrooms!
Located in the exclusive gated community - Echota on the Ridge. This newly remodeled condo offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and breathtaking natural beauty. This is the perfect place to rest after a day of hiking Grandfather Mountain or shopping in Boone/Blowing Rock. (And remember for this winter - skiing at the local resorts! Only 9 miles from Sugar Mountain and 16 miles from Beech Ski Mountain!)
Enjoy the spacious private balcony with relaxing furniture and views that cannot be put into words! (Just look at our Reviews!) The balcony is accessible from the large primary bedroom or the main living area. Savor your morning coffee while taking in the crisp mountain air, or unwind with a cocktail while watching the sun setting behind the rolling peaks.
The open concept living area is tastefully furnished, providing a cozy ambiance for relaxation or socializing. The large windows showcase the awe-inspiring views of the surrounding mountains. There is a modern, fully equipped kitchen with all you need to prepare delicious meals. There is a cozy, gas-burning stone fireplace with remote control. A washer and dryer are available in the unit.
Enjoy a movie on our Smart TVs (Spectrum is included, but bring your passwords for any other streaming channels).
Each of the three bedrooms offers luxurious king size beds for a peaceful night's sleep. With plush bedding, ample storage space and stylish decor, you'll feel right at home. All bedrooms have large Smart TVs and private bathrooms. The primary bathroom features a glorious soaking tub and heated towel rack!
This unit is in the "Echota on the Ridge" development. There are no stairs necessary to get from your car to the front door. RidgeCrest is all one level!. We have access to 20+ acres of private fishing along the Watauga River. Grandfather Mountain Winery and area ski slopes are all nearby.
Other amenities include indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a fitness center, and a charming Adirondack-style lodge where you can relax. The clubhouse is just a short walk away but has ample parking if you want to drive.
We look forward to hosting you at our family mountain retreat, where you can create lasting memories surrounded by the beauty of nature. Book your stay NOW and experience the best of the North Carolina mountains!

The overall experience was wonderful. The condo was beautiful, well appointed and very clean. The view from the balcony was the best! This condo worked really well for people in our party with mobility issues too.
I spent Thanksgiving here with family and had a great time. The interior design is amazing, and the views are also amazing. I’d definitely stay here again.
The host was fantastic. Always quick to respond! The condo was impeccable. We loved the views! We enjoyed a very peaceful two night stay on top of a mountain. We will be back again someday.
We have rented this condo before and as always we are never disappointed!!!
From the moment you walk in you will love the decor and the view is amazing!!! We drank our morning coffee on the deck and enjoyed our evening meals on the deck also!!! It’s a great place with each bedroom having their own bathroom and the kitchen is fully stocked for preparing any gourmet meal!!! We plan on staying again with our family!!!
Beautiful property, well appointed with kitchen essentials, easy to use fireplace. Great views - everything looks just like VRBO pictures. Lynda, property manager, got back to me IMMEDIATELY, with any questions or requests I had. Would definitely stay there again!
All the comforts of home with a great view. Home was very clean and well decorated and with plenty of extras. Kids enjoyed the snacks, pool and clubhouse. Would definitely visit again.
We had a wonderful stay! Each bedroom was spacious and comfortable, and the condo was well stocked for anything we needed (kitchen utensils, laundry, pool towels, etc.) Lynda was extremely accommodating and communicative. Location was perfect and views were beautiful! Thank you!
Only leaving 5 stars because I can’t leave more. The condo has everything you need and is very thoughtfully put together. View is amazing. Really appreciated the snacks as well! Thank you for sharing your wonderful property with us!
Pictures do not capture how perfect this place is. Property was immaculate . Central to all the area has to offer . Gorgeous mountain view’s. Our family of five was very comfortable . Will definitely book again .
Very nice condo high in the NC mountains. Renovated in 2023 by someone with excellent taste. Enjoyed the king sized beds in three bedrooms and, of course, the beautiful views. All in all you won't be disappointed in this place.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ridgecrest. The condo is well-equipped, clean and the beds were very comfortable. Comfortable porch furniture as well. The owner has a ton of attention to detail and there was not a single thing we needed that they had not already thought of. Highly recommend!
Wonderful, clean facility. Hostess most accommodating (before, during, and after). View breathtaking. Access a little meandering but tolerable. Would definitely teturn.
We had a wonderful stay in this well appointed beautiful condo. The decor was lovely and the views were spectacular. We were greeted by birthday flowers on the counter. There were special touches all throughout this recently remodel condo. We throughly enjoyed our time at this mountain retreat.
This remodeled condo was beautifully done and stocked with all that is needed. It could not be more comfortable. The view was spectacular.
The kind, professional property manager communicated effectively from beginning to end of our visit. We look forward to another stay!
Checked in on a Thursday for a long 4 night weekend. Echota on the Ridge is top of the line and this property was the best of the best. Beautifully appointed, everything as or better than described and fully equipped kitchen. Porch view was stunning and the furniture was in perfect condition and comfortable. This 3 bedroom 3 bath unit was spacious and perfect for our 3 generation trip. Host was the best. Thank you!
Don't hesitate to book this one! It felt like we were staying in a friend's home rather than a rental. You can tell the owners take pride in their unit because there are lots of extra touches that feel homey and cozy. We had a minor issue after arriving but it was something out of the owner's control and they were on top of it and made it right very quickly so rating this unit at 5 stars across the board was a no brainer. Gorgeous views, fantastic location and very spacious!
Beautifully decorated and comfortable condo with awesome views. The condo has been updated and has supplies, from extra paper towels to kitchen towels (a staple in my opinion).Host was responsive. Condo very clean. Highly recommend.
Second visit and hopefully not the last. If you are looking for a luxurious stay with some amazing mountain vista views, this condo has it! Very well appointed, fireplace was great. Thank you for such a wonderful visit!
