About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
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.***

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!
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!
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.
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.
This property is beautiful with stunning views of Grandfather Mountain. Every aspect was 5 stars - communication with owners was prompt and attention to detail from cleanliness to the well stocked kitchen (coffee bar, water bottles in the fridge) and the welcome basket (so thoughtful) was far above anywhere we have stayed in Boone! The owner provided guide book was very helpful - recommended dining, hiking, shopping! Truly - Mary & Doug have provided a peaceful and beautiful retreat. We highly recommend and will definitely return.
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!
Absolutely wonderful! The property itself is immaculate and very well maintained - very nice touches, it's obvious the owners enjoy the space as well as rent it. The location was great to get to the things we wanted to do, etc. including hiking, movies, shopping, etc. Will definitely come back here!
We had a great time at Mary and Doug's property! It was very clean and comfortable, things were labeled well, and it was clear that the owners had put a lot of thought into making it comfortable for guests. Mary was incredibly helpful and communicative. It is a wonderful place!
My family and I stayed in this beautiful condo during Thanksgiving. It was beautiful! The condo had everything we needed and the condo's view of the mountains was breathtaking. The furnishings were classy and so cozy.
Even though the condo was on top of the mountain, it is still very close to shops and restaurants. We definitely will come back!
Phenomenal home in a gated community with magnificent views from every window. Impeccably maintained. Super hosts who provided us with everything we could need and then some. Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation.
We have stayed at many rentals in the Boone area, and I have to say that Mary was the best host yet! Amazingly clean, stocked home with everything you could possibly need. Beautiful views, everything brand new. Perfect 10/10!
We had a wonderful visit at Red Tail Summit. From the personalized welcome note and gift basket, fully stocked coffee bar, and overall cleanliness of everything far exceeded our expectations. The location is perfect, 15 minutes from sugar mountain and 23 minutes from blowing rock. We will definitely come back.
We came back here after staying here 2 years ago and loving everything about our experience. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The condo itself is well equipped, super clean and organized, nicely decorated and super comfortable. Thank you again for your hospitality!
This is our family’s second stay at Red Tail Nest and everything remained perfect. The unit is exactly as described and pictured - beautifully decorated, equipped with everything we needed and more, and such a spectacular view. Most of all the host, Mary, was such a pleasure to work with. Communication was beyond exceptional and her hospitality was such a blessing.
Red Tail Nest is spectacular. It is comfortable and beautifully decorated with attention to small details. They have thought of everything. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to grill on the deck while enjoying the spectacular mountain view. Furniture and beds were very comfortable. The host reached out to make sure everything was just right and was very responsive to any questions. You will not be disappointed!
This is a very beautiful high end property. We enjoyed every element of luxury. The view of Grandfather mountain from living room and deck is stunning. Lovely views of the night sky from the deck also. Appreciated attention to detail with regards to personal items, and the kitchen set up. The decor with warm your heart and soul. Condo appears exactly as depicted on the website. You’ll love it!
Our stay was nothing short of amazing! The communication from Doug and Mary was prompt and very clear. The property was extremely clean and organized. The beds and furniture were very comfortable and just felt like HOME from the moment you stepped onto the entrance deck! They have paid attention to every detail. The best part was the changing views of the mountains throughout the day! We spent a lot of family time enjoying the cool weather, playing board games and cards by the fire. Making dinners in the stocked kitchen. She even had a croc pot which was helpful in having chili ready after a day out adventuring! We enjoyed the back balcony and mixed in some walks around the property! The kids favorite part of the trip was snow tubing at Hawksnest. We found a few playgrounds to also get energy out in Seven Devils and Blowing Rock. Enjoyed some coffee from Bald Guys Coffee in downtown blowing rock. We cannot wait to come back and enjoy a different season in the mountains enjoying God’s creation!
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!
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 we’d 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.
