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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at About Time cabin. The location is great, just a short drive to Boone, Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mountain, and many other destinations. The cabin had everything we needed and most importantly it was very clean and well maintained. We truly enjoyed sitting on the porch with the beautiful view and the peace and quite. We will definitely be back.

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.

Property was awesome. The “other” fees associated with the stay were too high however. Great house and would stay again, BUT would definitely consider other properties first, simply because of those other fees.
