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!

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!

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.

Vacation
Upon arrival to the property, we found it to not have been cleaned from the last guests. I reached out to the manager's and they requested pictures as proof because the cleaning company had marked it down as cleaned. After the proof was sent as requested, the managers dispatched cleaning services. We had to wait while all bedding was changed and the bathrooms were cleaned. The cleaners didn't bother to look at any other room or the hot tub. I ended up cleaning the kitchen myself. The company refunded 100 dollars for the trouble and never followed up to see if the cleaning was satisfactory. Apart from that, the property is nice.

We stayed for a long weekend to pick out our annual Christmas tree in the High Country. We enjoyed our stay at the cabin so much! The cabin was clean and felt just like “home” and had everything we needed and more. Our family enjoyed the game room and we would definitely stay here again .

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!

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.

This property gave us all what we needed. It looks and feels secluded but takes only 10 minutes to get to local restaurants. The kids loved all the games to play, especially the arcade games. We will definitely be coming back.

Great location!
Family had a great weekend. Cabin was as pictured. Clean and well stocked. Had plenty of towels. Thunderstorm the first night was enjoyed on the covered porch. Kids had fun with all the games. 15 minutes to Boone; 30 minutes to Grandfather Mtn. Had trouble with the entry code, but was quickly resolved. Only thing I’d add is a Keurig for us inept coffee makers. I’d def return. Thanks!!

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.

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.

Well appointed but upstairs very warm.
Great cabin with many amenities except for a toaster and very clean. The wrap around porch with rockers was a nice feature. For our July trip the upstairs bedrooms were too warm even though the cabin was air conditioned. The single air conditioning unit was not sufficient. We used window draw fans but they could not do the job because it would not cool off enough until early morning. With the wild fires out west we were not able to open the windows for the first two nights as the smell of burning firewood was not pleasant. The unit also had a smart thermostat which could not be controlled by us.

Close & Convenient to Boone & Banner Elk
We stayed at About Time in the spring, and it was perfect weather for our visit. Our family enjoyed the cabin - it was perfect for us! The game room was a big hit, and the hot tub was in a peaceful, enjoyable outdoor space. My girls loved that there were no murky corners or tons of creepy crawlies in the outdoor spaces - it's clear the property management group takes great care of this home. We struggled a little with getting the temperature correct in the house, but there are box fans in each room that help. We brought towels for the hot tub, and use the property's linens for showers. This was the perfect solution for us, and I highly recommend for others if you hate a wet towel! Highly recommend you check out this property.
