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 aprivate 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:

    This is the perfect house! Views are incredible, hot tub was clean and nice and less than 15 minutes to downtown. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need. The beds were comfortable. The kids loved the game room downstairs. Will definitely stay here again.

    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.

    The cabin was exceptionally clean. The location was close to Boone, while private enough to feel immersed in nature.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Family getaway and first time visiting the area. The cabin had everything we needed. the game room was great for entertaining on those rainy afternoons and nights. We would definitely stay here again. Location was good far enough away to be private but still close to activities.

    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!

    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.
