At 3606 feet, the "Red Tail Nest" condo can be found sitting high in the treetops much like the nests that Red Tail Hawks build to give them a commanding view of their landscape. You will find yourself in awe of the beauty of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains before you, centered on the iconic profile of Grandfather Mountain. This beautiful farmhouse chic condo with unobstructed views from every window will invite you to relax and enjoy the luxury of an unhurried lifestyle. Linger over coffee, tea, or wine on the covered deck admiring the lush beauty around you.
*** As we head into the winter months in the mountains, all-wheel drive is strongly recommended, even though the roads in Echota are well-maintained and plowed.***

Âș According to High Country Press, âEchota has⊠some of the most spectacular views in the Carolina mountains.â (2015). I have to agree this is an incredible piece of land. We would love to share our home and the beauty, serenity, and peaceful nature that is Echota, and our property, Red Tail Nest.
This was our 2nd year in a row staying at this property. I would highly recommend it and I would definitely stay here again. The host is excellent, the unit is well maintained and very well appropriated. The views are the BEST!
The house is very comfortable and exceptionally well stocked. We love the view and the hosts are excellent at communicating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Beautiful property facing Grandfather Mountain. Unit is beautifully decorated and well stocked with kitchen items. Hosts Mary & Doug have thought of everything - stocked coffee bar, chilled bottled water, a welcome bag of goodies and a wonderful guide book for the area. Beds are very comfortable and the upstairs loft for reading/privacy is a plus. This was our third stay at this home and we will return. Excellent communication w Mary from time of booking through check out. Highly recommend
Dana,
Thank you so much for this very gracious review. It is always a pleasure to host you. We look forward to hopefully seeing you again next year.
Warmly,
Mary
Thank you so much for your lovely review! Weâre delighted you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the Grandfather Mountain views â they truly are one of the highlights of the unit. Weâre sorry for any disappointment regarding the nearby owners-only pool access. We do provide guests with information on the community pool(s) available for their enjoyment and hope you were able to take advantage of that amenity during your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and weâd be honored to welcome you back for another mountain getaway.
The hosts were welcoming. The house is so clean, organized and cozy. The amenities are great! The views are gorgeous. Great location.I would definitely recommend and go back!
The host was amazing! Available for all the questions we had! Property was beautiful and views were breathtaking! We enjoyed our time there and hope to return soon!
Thank you, Kathy, for your kind words. I enjoy being there for my guests and being available to answer any questions they may have during their stay with us. We are thrilled you loved the property and hope to see you again.

Jonathan,
Thank you for your kind review. I am so happy you loved the condo and the views. In the Fall, those views are even more impressive. It was a pleasure to host you and your family. I really hope that we see you all again. -Mary
Beautiful view! Beautiful home! Kitchen was wonderful and very well stocked! My adult kids & grandkids stayed in the condo for Thanksgiving and they had absolutely everything they needed to prepare their dishes for the meal! Property owners were very attentive as well!
Chris,
Thank you for the glowing review. I'm so happy to hear that the kitchen was able to accommodate Thanksgiving preparations. We do like for our guests to feel as though they are in their own second home. We were so happy to have the place available for them to be close by.
Warmly,
Mary
We booked two units, CC5 and CC7, CC7 was on the floor above CC5, so that worked out nicely for our families traveling together.The location was wonderful, and the view of Grandfather Mountain was spectacular.
Allison,
What a pleasure it was to host you and your family. I am so happy you all had a wonderful stay. And, yes, the view of Grandfather profile is magnificent.
All the best,
Mary
This was a wonderful place to stay in the High Country! The condo was very clean and well stocked. The view from deck was amazing. Recommend this place highly!
Thank you for your kind review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and that we could accommodate the extra night for you. I hope we will see you again. All the best. -Mary
This property was absolutely beautiful and included any amenity you could want. The view was spectacular of Grandfather Mountain and enjoying coffee on the deck in the morning or wine in the evenings watching the sunset could not be more peaceful!
Kendra,
I am so happy you enjoyed your stay. The property does have an exceptional view of Grandfather Mountain. I hope we see you again in the future.
Mary
This is our second stay at the Red Tail Nest in the past year. Our family really enjoys all that the condo has to offer and the amenities. The unit is very clean and looks exactly as advertised. We love staying here and will be back again!
Loved being on the top of the mountain with a beautiful view of Grandfather Mountain! The location felt central to everywhere we wanted to explore. Mary is a gracious hostess and the condo is immaculate and comfortable. I wish weâd planned to cook because the kitchen is well stocked and the deck and grill set up would have made for the best sunset dinners. We hope to be back for a longer stay.
Thank you, Jessica, for your nice review. We are so happy that you love the unit and the view of Grandfather is truly spectacular. I really do hope that we will see you all back for a longer stay so you can enjoy the kitchen.
Warmly,
Mary

Thank you for your review. I am so glad you all enjoyed your stay with us and chose Red Tail Nest for your special family celebrations. We will look forward to your returning next year.
Mary
This property was top notch , beautifully decorated. It had everything we needed . The view of Grandfather mountain was the best and many hours were spent relaxing and enjoying the sunny view.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. The home was convenient to both Beech Mountain and Boone, perfect centralized location. The home was beautiful, and the hosts were very friendly and responsive. We will be back!
The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed for cooking. The views were the best I have seen within thus community. Everything in the unit was well appointed and picked out with the comfort and convenience of the renter in mind. The host was quick to respond and very helpful.
Dawn, thank you for your gracious review. We do try hard to make every guest stay comfortable and well thought out - as if visiting your own second home. We enjoyed hosting you and look forward to seeing you again the next time your travels bring you this way. - Mary
We are so happy you had a wonderful stay! It is lovely in Boone this time of year. Please come and stay with us again.
Mary
Qui vous reçoit ?
Vous ĂȘtes reçu par Doug & Mary Stokes
Doug and I both grew up in South Carolina and still live there. His family would bring him to the Boone/Banner Elk/Blowing Rock area as a child. When we married, we would bring our family to this beautiful area. A favorite memory is traveling to Boone to get fresh-cut Christmas trees for our home in South Carolina.
We had stayed in Echota twice before buying this property, coincidentally, in the same building both times. The views of Grandfather mountain will just take your breath away. When this unit became available, we knew that we had found a home to love.
The views! Our condo has unobstructed views from every window. We are an end unit with no properties beside us. There is something special about being in the mountains. It is peaceful and restorative. We hope that you will love our property as much as we do.
