Peaceful mountain getaway with pools, hiking trails & bocce courts

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!

Great mountain vacation place
The condo was just right for the four of us adults. And the sun raise views every morning off the balcony were so beautiful, and it was a short drive down to Boone.

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 access to fun activities and great dinning.
We did the Alpine Slide, Mystery Hill, and Linville Cave. Shopped at Belk and the outlet. Dined at Bella Italian Restaurant, Vicious Biscuit, and Daniel Boone Restaurant. Stick Boy is wonderful. Fun time, although the weather was not the greatest.

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!

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.

Great condo. Very comfortable. Kids loved indoor pool & hot tub. The outdoor pool was closed for the season but looks very nice for summer months. The clubhouse was well kept. Kids learned how to play pool.

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.

No heat!
The rental was nicely appointed. My only complaint is that we didn’t have heat for the entirety of our stay. First night was 17 degrees outside and probably in the 40s inside. Relayed this issue to Vacasa and was never contacted from the local office.

The worst! Do Not Book with Vacasa
DO NOT BOOK THIS RENTAL. The worst flooding in history in boone area. We made it to the rental anyway using back road and 4 wheel drive. When we arrived the previous tenants were still there do to closed roads. There was not power which was not unexpected. But the condo was not cleaned. We left as we were not able to stay in condo with other people there. Vacasa's only response was re-book same condo within 30 days. There are no more weekends available within 30 days even if the area is recovered in that time. We would have been happy to reschedule at later date in spring when we will be returning to area, but they will not budge. Save yourself and do not book through this company.

Spouse's birthday getaway
The grounds of property and clubhouses are beautiful. View off deck is spectacular and residence is clean and nicely decorated. The only trouble we initially had was we checked in late and it was dark, we did not see the lock box outside the door to access the key, we only had a pass code. After searching with our phone lights, we found it. Thank you for letting us rent your place!

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.

our stay
most of the pots and pans were not clean, the counter tops weren't clean either. we were going to wash clothes our last night, but the washer was filled with towels that smelled sour - guess they had been in there since the morning of our arrival. so we washed them in vinegar and the detergent packet and dried and folded them and left them on a chair. otherwise, we loved it and would stay there again - and we hope too. there was a broken big blue and white platter, but the kitchen was well stocked otherwise, just not real clean.

Terrible Experience
The home is great in pictures. We were unable to checkin until 2.5 hours past the scheduled checkin time. We expected to checkin at 4pm but could not until 6:30pm at which time cleaning was still occurring. We traveled hours with a child and could not even get in. We were told we would be credited for this issue and we were not. The home was filthy. Owners should be embarrassed. Stains on bedding, extra bedding, and couch was so stained we couldn’t sit on it. There were no working smoke/fire alarms. There were bugs in the light fixture over the table which shows the obvious neglect of management and cleaning. Would not recommend this home or the rental management company (vacasa) to anyone. During our last night we could smell gas. With no working smoke and fire alarms we felt it best to leave. What a terrible experience all the way around.
