Mountain Retreat in Blowing Rock

MUST BE AT LEAST 25 YRS OF AGE TO BOOK

Welcome to Time Well Wasted!

Time Well Wasted is a charming 2BR/2BA cabin nestled amongst mature hardwood trees on a large property, with layered mountain views, just above 4500' in elevation. It is located on a quiet residential street on Appalachian Ski Mountain in Blowing Rock, less than 3 miles from downtown, only 1 mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway, and less than 2 miles from the ski slopes, ice skating, snow tubing, and main lodge at the Appalachian Ski Mountain resort. Time Well Wasted is an ideally-located vacation cabin with actual year-round relevance - Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter!

Easy access to and into the cabin is a plus, thanks to the paved driveway and parking for two (2) vehicles, just three steps below the convenient main-level entry door.
***(4WD and tire chains recommended during winter weather conditions!)***

The main level features an open concept floor plan anchored by its open living room with vaulted ceilings, gas log fireplace, HD Smart TV, and comfy designer furniture. The well-outfitted kitchen with granite countertops, and adjacent dining table, makes preparing and serving meals easy and fun. There is a Queen bedroom with an HDTV on the main level and a full bathroom with a tub and shower combo.

Walk out to the extended covered porch from the living room on the "view" side of the cabin, and enjoy year-round, all-weather outdoor comfort while taking in the layered mountaintop views! The covered porch gives way to a large open-air side deck with outdoor dining, a gas grill, and more comfy outdoor seating.

The upper level boasts the master bedroom suite, with a King bed, HD Smart TV, and a private ensuite full bathroom. The mountain views from the master bedroom are excellent. The cozy loft at the top of the stairs provides a workstation with a desk, from which guests can stay connected with work and life back home.

WiFi internet and Satellite TV programming on 3 HDTVs, 2 of which also offer Smart TV options, will keep you connected and entertained on those "inside weather" days and nights. There is also a Washer and Dryer for guest use. Between the central heating and the gas fireplace, warmth will never be an issue. There is no air conditioning at Time Well Wasted. At over 4500 feet in elevation, open to the cool mountain top breezes but not fully exposed to the hot afternoon sun, the temperatures will likely never get above the 70s, making air conditioning a non-necessity.

PLEASE NOTE - It is important to the owners and the neighbors that guests understand Time Well Wasted is in a quiet residential community with many year-round residents. The strict 10 PM quiet time for the community is strictly enforced. Sound does travel further in the thin air and rocky terrain of the mountains, so even unintended noise from the decks can travel and reverberate much more than many guests realize. WITH A MAXIMUM OF 4 GUESTS HERE, we don't expect any issues, but please honor the community's sanctity and help us reinforce the truth that not all vacationers are noisy or rowdy.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS (maximum of 4 guests):
Upper Level King Master Suite (sleeps 2)
Main Level Queen Bedroom Suite (sleeps 2)

* There is an exterior camera on the side/rear corner of the cabin, positioned away from the cabin completely, pointing out toward the entrance of the driveway and toward the mountain views. Owners can keep an eye on the cabin when it is unoccupied and sneak a wistful peek at those layered mountain views when they long for a return to the High Country!

** No more than TWO (2) VEHICLES can be parked at the cabin during any booking. The cabin is a small 2BR that hosts a maximum of 4 guests, and the driveway is not big enough to accommodate more than 2 vehicles. Limit your visit to two vehicles max. If you must have a third vehicle, please coordinate offsite parking with CCR or on your own.

*** There is no AC (air conditioning) at this cabin. It sits at over 4500 feet in elevation, and typically the owners use it themselves most summers. The temperatures rarely get above the mid-70s at Time Well Wasted, and the cool mountain cross-breezes help keep the temperatures lower.
