Today is our last full day at 1353 unit 203 seven devils road. It is a 2nd story 2/2 condo unit…read morethat is entry level. It is tastefully decorated. There are cute cabin themed decorations throughout. The view from the patio of this condo is amazing! Full view of Grandfather mountain and surrounding mountains. We got lucky and hit peak fall foliage. The colors are spectacular. They have a cute patio table that we had coffee and breakfast while braving the chilly temperatures to enjoy the fresh mountain air and beautiful views. They have a gas fireplace that is perfect to warm up after sitting outside on the patio . If you love to cook or bake, the kitchen is fully stocked with new or newer appliances like waffle maker, air fryer, slow cooker, nice sets of pots and pans. There are so many nice glasses for any kind of wine you may enjoy. The dishes are in full sets and definitely not mix match like many other rentals. Everything you need so no need to bring from home. Less than a mile away, there is a small waterfall and park called Otter Falls if you are a hiker. The waterfall is the kind you can sit on rocks and put your feet in. About 2 miles away Hawks Nest has snow tubing in the winter and zip lining any other times of the year. If you like to ski, Sugar and Beech mountains are not far away. There is plenty of parking too so no need to worry about parking. We wish we were staying longer!!

I had the occasion to return to Echota on the weekend of May 29-31, 2020, since short-term rentals…read morehad again been permitted in the state after the onset of COVID-19. Though we were concerned about traveling while cases were still occurring in North Carolina, we felt reassured with our past experiences with Foscoe Rentals as well as the assurances on their website that they were following proper health protocols. I was happy that the unit I previously stayed in - CB-2 in Chalakee -- was available. Upon arrival at 6 p.m. on Friday evening, we encountered a nightmarish scene in the era of COVID -- a room that had not been serviced, with dirty sheets, items left unattended in the kitchen, and, because this is a new world -- no toilet paper. I immediately called the after-hours number and waited 45 minutes with no response. When I called the service again, I was placed on hold and connected to a staff member, Heather, who took ownership of the situation, which was eventually remedied. That said, this was an unforgivable lapse given the times in which we unfortunately live. I would have expected a reputable company like Foscoe would absolutely ensure housekeeping was done between rentals, and was disappointed with the self-advocacy that I found myself in, after hours, on a Friday. At this writing, I have not received any further follow-up. My advice -- insist upon confirmation of the unit's cleanliness before arrival, especially since they are following "contactless check-in" protocol and you will not be speaking with personnel prior to getting your key. UPDATE: Upon sharing my dissatisfaction with the management company, I received a refund of the housekeeping portion of my rental. This is satisfactory given the situation.

I spent a wonderful weekend here with my girlfriends celebrating a birthday, and the location…read morecouldn't have been better. We chose this home because of its proximity to the hiking spots we wanted to explore, and it didn't disappoint. The house itself was lovely, comfortable, and well-equipped. We especially appreciated having a full kitchen for making breakfast together and enough beds for everyone to sleep comfortably--perfect for a group getaway. It's also ideally located--just 10 minutes from Blowing Rock with great restaurants, about 20 minutes to Boone, and only 30 minutes from Grandfather Mountain. It made getting around to all our planned activities quick and easy. Overall, this was the perfect home base for a fun and relaxing girls' weekend. Highly recommend!

Our family of 16 stayed at the North View Lodge in Banner Elk, and we found there was plenty of…read morespace for everyone. We especially enjoyed the hot tub, playing pool, the big-screen TVs, the two living rooms, and the beautiful scenery. During our stay, we spent one day skiing at Sugar Mountain and another day snow tubing, which everyone loved. Hot Water: On a particularly cold day--when temperatures dropped to nine degrees, and there was snow on the ground--we returned from skiing and discovered there was no hot water when everyone was ready to shower. We called Carolina Cabin Rentals, and were so glad they sent someone the following morning to fix it. Snow and Driveway Conditions: That same day, a van carrying several family members took nearly two hours to make it up the snow-packed hill to the cabin, even with chains on the tires. We bought a shovel and rock salt in case it snowed again. We left the shovel there. Kitchen Supplies: Be sure to bring potholders, trash bags, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, dishwashing soap, a sponge, and kitchen towels. We also found there wasn't enough silverware for our group's size, and had to purchase plastic utensils. The coffee pot was too small for our large group - you might consider bringing a large coffee pot. Bathroom Door Locks: The family members staying near the pool table area noted that several bathroom doors did not lock. Front Motion Light: The motion-activated light at the front of the cabin was triggered frequently at night, likely due to wildlife. Unfortunately, the light shone through the blinds into the front bedroom, making it difficult to sleep. A blackout shade in that window could be a helpful improvement for future guests. These are all minor inconveniences, I know, but overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the rustic charm of the cabin and our time in the Banner Elk, NC area.

I had nothing but positive experiences with Advanced Realty in the four + years we rented through…read morethem. Every maintenance request was answered quickly and efficiently. Their communication was great, especially working with both us (as renters) and the homeowner. All my interactions with them were hassle free (even during covid). We rented without ever seeing the place ourselves when we moved to Boone. They made the process extremely easy given the circumstances. While we didn't originally intend to stay in the house as long as we did, we didn't have a single complaint in our time working with them. What's more, we wound up buying the house and transitioning out of the contract was painless and hassle free. I would definitely recommend them based on my experience and if we ever decide to rent this house out ourselves we will most certainly be giving them a call.
