   We thought the property worked well for a short stay. Things we would suggest include: 1. Make sure the grill works properly before checkin. Only one of the six burners worked for us. 2. Provide a keurig coffee maker - this is standard and should be there 3. Provide a kitchen sponge for cleaning. Again this is standard at every rental we have stayed in.

Thank you for the feedback.
We have had maintenance repair the burners on the grill. Our sincere apologies for this inconvenience. The owners do provide a dish cloth for washing dishes and have a standard coffee maker, but we will provide your feedback to them.

   Nice condo. Clean and comfortable with a great view. My only suggestion would be that you provide a decent set of dishes. What was there was the bare minimum. We love the Echota properties.

   Very comfortable one bedroom condo; nearly new a very well furnished. It would be a better stay if the nearby swimming pool was not restricted to owners only, but available to week long renters. We would have been willing to pay a higher rental rate or additional fee for access to the nearby swimming pool. Never the less, we enjoyed our week in the condo. Vic Barnhart Lexington,SC

   Lovely 1 BR condo with wonderful view of Grandfather Mtn. Our second stay in this well furnished unit, which has been freshly painted. Appreciated elevator access for loading/unloading, great porch with table/chairs and attentive Foscoe staff regarding any needs. Again - fabulous view! Only recommendation would be a new knife set for the kitchen. If you spend time cooking (we do!) remember to bring spices and basic pantry items. Kitchen is nicely arranged. Loved our stay and will return!

   This was a beautiful property only down side in my mind was the seating furniture could be upgraded and a bit more comfortable. We typically plan and bring our meals with us due to lack of service when you go out especially since Covid. The kitchen items that were available in this condo were pretty sparse. We stay at Echota on a regular basis either renting through Foscoe Rentals or VRBO. Love to stay at Echota, its quite and most locations have beautiful views, great location to simply decompress. Staff at Foscoe rentals is always very polite and helpful when scheduling and arranging our stay.

   The views of Grandfather Mtn from this property are amazing. Elevator access very helpful for moving in/out. The porch has a very nice patio table and chairs - we spent much of our time there. Comfortable furniture and bedding. Adequate kitchen - would benefit from additional dinnerware and new knife set. We would definitely stay at this property again - the view alone is fantastic! This unit would benefit from a coat of paint - many scuff marks on the walls of the living area, and bathroom walls/ceiling need some attention. We enjoy staying at the Chalakee properties - buildings CA & CB have great views and are in a quiet location.

   The Resort is beautiful and well maintained. The indoor pool and indoor hot tub was awesome! The outdoor pool and the landscaping around the pool and throughout the Resort is very beautiful. The Clubhouse's are very nice also! The condo we stayed in had a wonderful view and it was roomy. We loved the outdoor gas Grill and patio furniture. The interior walls of the condo need to be painted. The dinnerware and cookware need to be replaced. The condo was clean which we appreciated.

   I had a very quiet and pleasant stay in CA-1. Everything I needed was right in place, and it was very clean. The bed was super comfortable. One thing that needs attention are the walls just above the tub/shower insert where water has spattered and damaged the walls.

Thank you for letting us know about the grill and the fireplace. We will make sure these two items are repaired. Please do come back.

We will recommend it a million times to our friends and family. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

   WE thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Planning to come again. Only suggestion: have available a remote for gas fireplace....was difficult for 80 yr. old lady to get down on the floor to ignite!!! Bed very comfortable, view excellent, customer service excellent. Thank you. The Lyles

   The property was very nice. We had an issue with our fireplace and grill not lighting and maintenance was there in 10 min and resolved the issue very quickly. We were impressed! Our stay was wonderful and we will come back! Thank you! We booked our stay through VRBO. Is it less expensive to book directly through you? We really loved this area!
-- John, Wake Forest , NC

Yes, book directly through Foscoe Rentals and you will not have to pay the HomeAway/VRBO service fee. www.FoscoeRentals.com

   Check-in was seamless and the unit was very nice. I had an issue with the gas fireplace the first night that was promptly addressed by maintenance the following day. The only other issues I had were that is that the keys to the front door tended to stick in the lock, one pretty badly. It took me several minutes to get it unstuck and out of the lock the first time I tried it. Two recommended improvements would be: (1) better signage within the community telling people how to get to Chalatkee and the Exit. I got turned around a few times, particularly when coming and going at night. (2) the unit's kitchen didn't seem to have any baking sheets or baking pans. Those would be useful. Overall, however, it was a great unit and I would stay there again.

   Beautiful condo with a gorgeous view of the mountains. Perfect for a couple. We had another couple over for drinks before dinner and only wished there had been a few more wine glasses and trays for appetizers. Also a Keurig would have been nice.

   We were in Chalakee Lodge unit CA-1 and it was wonderful. My husband is a Pastor and we stay very busy so we love when we have the opportunity to get away, just the two of us. We loved being in the Chalakee units where there were only the two buildings. It felt somewhat secluded and the Mountain View was amazing. I hope those two buildings stay that way and you never decide to build more units out that way. Our condo and everything about our stay was wonderful!

   We enjoyed the unit very much. The small coffee pot is rather inconvenient but otherwise we found all kitchen offerings quite adequate. It would also be more comfortable to have the new, bow shaped curtain rod in the bathroom to provide a feeling of slightly more space. We have already booked a return stay in August.

   Chairs in living room don't have a good back support. Washing machine gets out of balance when spinning, very noisy. Just two minor things, we love the condo and will be back in 2016 for the months of July and August. We are extremely happy with the way you are running your business.Also the way you maintain the landscaping, roads are always clean.
