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

Lovely mountain home, warm and relaxing

"About Time" was a wonderful relaxing property. The common areas were perfect for our group, and the bedrooms were relaxing. The property management company was easy to work with, and they sent us every possible piece of information we would need for our stay. We would recommend, and would stay there again.

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!

Fantastic home in a prime location. Couple of drawbacks. The thermostat refused to dip below 73 degrees and the water in the shower would cut out if a toilet was flushed on a corresponding level. Other than that the views were pristine, the hot tub was cozy, the house itself was 10/10, and the time we had there was priceless. We hope to return again in the future.

Great property

Our family planned a last minute spring break trip and this property was perfect. The kitchen is well stocked, their were plenty of games and activities for the kids while the adults relaxed. It is conveniently located in Boone and the view is nice. I imagine it's even nicer in the summer. We had 5 people and it was just the right amount of space. We would stay again.
