About Time - Year Round Mtn Views | Game Room | Hot Tub | Near Boone & Blowing Rock

  • About Time | Boone NC Mountain Cabin | Hot Tub · Game Room · Stunning Views

    One stay and you'll wonder why you waited so long.

    Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains just 10 minutes from downtown Boone, About Time has been welcoming families, couples, and friend groups for over a decade — and guests keep coming back. It's the kind of place that feels like yours from the moment you arrive.

    Your Mountain Escape Starts Here
    Picture this: you pull up to a private mountain retreat, fresh air hits you the moment you step out of the car, and the wrap-around deck opens up to sweeping wooded mountain views. Tonight you'll be in the hot tub under the stars. Tomorrow you'll wake up to a mountain sunrise with coffee in hand. And somewhere in between, laughter is spilling up from the game room downstairs while you finally, truly, relax.

    The Space
    Inside you'll find everything you love about mountain living — vaulted ceilings, warm wood floors, and a gas fireplace that makes even a rainy afternoon feel like exactly where you're supposed to be. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area keeps everyone connected while still giving plenty of room to spread out.

    Sleeping arrangements for up to 6 guests:
    Main level: King suite with private bath and deck access — ideal for couples or parents
    Upstairs: Queen bedroom + twin bedroom — perfect for kids or additional guests
    Bonus loft: Dedicated workspace with desk, monitor, and printer plus a cozy reading nook — work from the mountains or lose yourself in a good book

    Outside: Where the Magic Happens
    The outdoor spaces are what sets About Time apart:
    Private hot tub — soak away the day with mountain air all around you
    Gas fire table — the perfect gathering spot as the mountain evening cools down
    Wrap-around deck — morning coffee, afternoon books, evening sunsets

    Whether it's peak fall foliage painting the mountains in gold and crimson, a crisp summer evening after a day of hiking, or a cozy winter night after a day on the slopes — this outdoor space delivers in every season.

    The Game Room
    Downstairs is pure fun. A fully loaded game room featuring ping pong, foosball, and arcade games keeps everyone entertained regardless of weather or age. The bar area with wine fridge and TV makes it the perfect spot for game nights, movie afternoons, or watching the big game.

    Unbeatable Location
    Perfectly positioned in the heart of NC's High Country — everything the area offers is within easy reach:
    Downtown Boone — 10 min
    Blowing Rock — 20 min
    Banner Elk — 25 min
    Appalachian Ski Mountain & Sugar Mountain — 22 min
    Tweetsie Railroad — 20 min
    Mast General Store & Valle Crucis — 10 min
    Blue Ridge Parkway — 20 min

    Perfect For
    ✔ Family vacations ✔ Couples retreats ✔ Friend getaways ✔ Ski trips ✔ Remote work escapes ✔ Fall foliage weekends ✔ Summer adventures

Wonderful Weekend Getaway

Absolutely loved this cabin home! The layout was perfect for our family of 4, and we enjoyed everything the home had to offer, from the hot tub and fire table for smores to the game room space and proximity to shopping and restaurants in Boone. The cabin was perfectly prepared for our arrival, and the host was very quick to help us resolve the one issue we had upon arrival (one that was totally covered in the check-in instructions...just read them). Would love to stay again another time!

Great Family Get Away

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your amazing home with beautiful mountain views. This home was well-appointed and had everything we needed. We always enjoy Vilas, Valle Crucis, Boone & the surrounding area. We looked forward to sharing time each evening at this home. We spent a lot of time in the game room and had a wonderful time. We hope to return in the near future.

Mountain house

The house was very clean (except for a cut open avocado on the window sill). The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the views. The hot tub was brand new and very nice. The door was unlocked downstairs upon our arrival which was a little worrisome but we had no issues. They had plenty of “basics” for our long weekend (toilet paper, towels, cleaning supplies, etc). Would stay again.

Spacious, well appointed, great location, and relaxing!

Great mountain home. Secluded yet not far from Boone, Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mountain and more. The home was very clean, comfortable, and inviting. We immediately felt relaxed and at home. This home also offers several nice amenities from a fantastic porch, very nice hot tub, and wonderful gas fire pit. There is also plenty of room inside with bedrooms upstairs, the primary downstairs, and large game room basement. Fantastic property - thanks for making it so welcoming and keeping it so well maintained!

Beautiful views!

The property was beautiful and views breathtaking. Home was very clean. Road leading up to property took a little getting used to! Thank goodness we had good weather and didn't encounter anyone else while traveling up and down. Would have loved a toaster and keurig machine, but we managed. Thanks so much!

Fun times

The property was as described. Beds were comfortable,cabin was clean and furnished with higher end furniture. Getting to cabin was a little difficult the first time but that was because we came in on the wrong side…like really wrong side Ha….but after that it was fine. Had a great view of the mountains which I bet it gorgeous during fall and winter. Hot tub and game room provided entertainment for all. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful long weekend

Decided to get the kids some experiences this year and one of them was snow tubing. The house was perfect. We wanted something that had a little something for everyone. Kids and adults loved playing games in the game room. Kitchen was functional and just a quick trip to the grocery store. Hot tub was great for relaxing in the evenings. By the end of the weekend, my oldest asked if we could make sure we rented the house again next year.

A Hidden Gem

The cabin met our criteria and the pictures looked good. It turned out to exceed our expectations. The cleanliness and the spacious rooms were a delight. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances one might need. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub with the extra towels and the fire pit being gas made it easy to use. The view from the porch was beautiful. We will definitely recommend this gem to friends and return ourselves. Thank you for making our weekend so special.

Fantastic!

We were super happy with this property! We booked it to relax the last few days of our trip up north on our way back. We intended to do some hiking at Grandfather Mountain but it rained heavily. Having a cozy cabin with some extra entertainment in the basement worked out great. Kids were happy to play and to have the room with the twin beds. We were comfy in the master and my father-in-law in the other. Everyone had their own space. We all enjoyed the hot tub in the moments that it wasn't raining. Kids asked that we book again when we come back out for a hopefully none rainy weekend! Thank you!
