Still Lake Haven: Gated Community | Echota Amenities - Walk to Year-Round Indoor Pool!

Lock did not work Apartment was not clean .

Highlights: *Location is an easy drive to Boone, Blowing Rock, Appalachia Ski Resort, Beech Mountain, & Sugar Mountain *Community was quiet, condo close to front entrance, indoor pool/spa was an added bonus during our stay *Family enjoyed sledding on Beech Mountain, teens enjoyed snowboarding multiple days at Sugar Mountain, younger girls enjoyed ski lessons & beginner/Level 1 slope at Appalachian Mountain Resort *Sites/shopping/eateries enjoyed were The Blowing Rock, Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster, Otter Falls, Incredible Toy Company, Mast General Store, Cornerstone Christian Bookstore, & eateries: the Pedlin' Pig, Coyote Kitchen, The Banner Elk Cafe Many meals were made at the condo in the well-equipped kitchen. The beds were comfortable, providing a good night's sleep. The gas fireplace provided evening ambiance & added warmth. The washer/dryer was very beneficial to pack lighter. Roads were salted quickly in the community after snowfall & local roads posed no problem for the light snowfall. The indoor clubhouse pool/spa was a useful bonus during our stay - nice to enjoy swimming & the hot tub after days on the slopes, despite the cold temperatures outdoors. ;) The downside was the limited dining area with only 4 barstools at the bar top. (We did bring the balcony table & chairs in when needed for additional dining & game playing ability.) Overall, we had a good experience from beginning to end with this VRBO, the community, & the local area activities we enjoyed while in NC. (Side note: two days prior to leaving, my husband had a sledding accident requiring medical attention. The Watauga EMTs were responsive & the Watauga Medical Center was closeby providing quick care.)

Nice place to stay for skiing. Was just a quick drive over to the slopes. Pool hours were good. Good layout for different types of guests! Some cell/Wi-Fi connectivity issues.

Good location and convenient to surrounding towns. But.. had ants and a neighbor below us complained of noise. Two kids under 5 are hard to keep from running, so not a very kid friendly experience.

We absolutely loved everything about this place except we had no internet connection!!! I contacted the office and they were supposed to send someone out which I don’t know if anyone came out because we were at the App State game all day and I never heard back from the office. When we got back from the game…still no internet!!! This was very frustrating for all of us, especially our teens!!! We have a friend who owns a condo here and she doesn’t have any problems with her internet so this tells me it’s just this condo’s problem! Please fix this asap!!! I would love to stay here again but not having internet connection would be a big NO for me!
