About this property

Note: For winter travel, we recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Snow and ice are common during the winter months.

Welcome to Treasured Times Ski Mountain. This home is conveniently located 2 miles from Main Street in Blowing Rock, 1/2 mile from Appalachian Ski Resort and just 10 minutes to Boone. Before we mention anything else, just know you won't want to miss a single sunrise from this home!!
A little about us and our home......We are Ross and Maile Allen. My husband Ross is a home builder and I help out in the company with interior design and marketing. This is our 4th VRBO property in the Blowing Rock area. Our 3 previous VRBO properties (we have over 100 5 star reviews) have been sold. Last fall, we began our search for a new project. We saw this home on Ski Mountain go up for sale and we knew this was a diamond in the rough - gorgeous rough sewn wood, incredibe river rock, picturesque views, lovely and quiet 3 acre lot. All it needed was a little makeover to bring this property back to life.
Enhancing and updating the original structure was a labor of love. All the spaces have been newly renovated and yet we love that the home still looks and feels like a rustic mountain chalet from days gone by with all the warm wood tones, heart pine floors and one of a kind 3 story river rock fireplace.
This home sits on almost 3 acres with gorgeous views. It has 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths and sleeps 8.
The upper bedroom has a king bed, a twin bed and twin trundle bed. This room now has a brand new updated bathroom with separate toilet room, tiled shower, 2 sinks and large vanity area with plenty of storage space.
The main level bedroom features a queen bed with a sliding glass door to a lovely deck area. The updated main floor bath is accessible from this bedroom room as well as the main floor hallway.
The kitchen/dining area features all new appliances, beautifully restored original wood cabinetry and a newly installed granite island that seats 3. The kitchen is open to a lovely dining room area that seats 6-8 around a cozy table.
The living room showcases stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and if you're an early riser, sunrises at this home are breathtaking!
The home's lower level features a wonderful area for storing all your hiking, biking, or skiing gear with plenty of "drop zone" space. This level also has a Queen bedroom and ensuite bath with a tub shower.
Outdoor areas include a lovely 3 acre wooded lot with a fire pit perfect for enjoying s'mores under the stars. After a long hike, you'll also want to soothe your sore muscles In our 6 person jetted hot tub.
Dog lovers will enjoy our dog door that allows pups to go in and out as needed. This connects to our fenced in yard.
Hiking, biking, boating, shopping, dining, day spas, and horseback riding are all right around the corner.

We look forward to welcoming you to Treasured Times Ski Mountain soon!

Beautiful Blowing Rock Retreat

What a beautiful way to celebrate our 37 th wedding anniversary than getting away to a gorgeous home two miles approximately from the quaint town of Blowing Rock, NC with our family. It was fully equipped with all the comforts of home like soft sheets, comfy pillows and quilts. The kitchen was well stocked with gadgets, cookware, dishes, glasses, utensils and much more. Our bathrooms were stocked with shampoo, soaps, and everything you might need. The house was clean and decorated with lovely detail. The furnishings were eclectic and I enjoyed the fire places throughout. All of the beautiful stone work reminded me of my parent's home in Colorado. The fenced yard was awesome for our small dogs and access was convenient from the deck on the main floor. There were a lot of stairs though and that was difficult for my aging dog and for me, but we managed. A majestic view just beyond the prow designed windows was a slice of heaven. Spectacular sunrises were visible as well as wooded vistas. Tiny flowers were sprouting everywhere outside and although we did not use the fire pit, it looked like it would be fun to have had a fire. The high winds and dry air made it not ideal for a fire outdoors but we had plenty indoors as an ample s supply of wood was provided. This home was located close to Blowing Rock and the Blue Ridge Parkway. We even made it to Linville Falls the last day. I appreciated the comfortable, clean accommodations and the fabulous view was a bonus.

We enjoyed our visit so much last year that we came back. The house is very comfortable for our family. Plenty of room to be together or sneak away for some quiet time. The views are incredible and love waking up to gorgeous sunrises. The owners are easily accessible and we definitely recommend the location.

Super Bowl getaway

Our friend group of 3 couples get together every winter for a mountain trip. We decided to try somewhere different this year and found this amazing home! The house was set up perfectly, giving each couple their own private space. The large kitchen was perfect for congregating and the living area was beyond cozy with the wood burning fireplace and the gorgeous views from the large open windows. It rained the entire weekend and we didn’t even care. We relaxed in the hot tub on several occasions and were able to go into Blowing Rock for lunch one day. Communicating with the host was beyond easy. She gave me all the information I needed before I even had to ask. We were able to arrive early and it was so easy to gain access to the home. Everything was nice and clean. The home is animal friendly, but I would never know that animals stay there. I’m not an animal person and appreciate this. We talked all weekend about how we are going to book again next year.

About the host

Hosted by Maile Allen

We are Ross and Maile Allen. My husband Ross is a custom home builder and has offices in both Charlotte and Blowing Rock. We have 6 biological children who are all grown and recently we adopted 3 young boys from Ukraine, China and Latvia respectively because we feel it's important to do our part to give children a loving and supportive family. We live on a cute farm in Waxhaw, NC where I homeschool, take care of my hubby (haha), 3 boys, 3 goats, 8 chickens, 2 dogs and a cat.
In my previous life as a young person, I graduated from The Cornell Hotel School, worked for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company as a Marketing Director and had a few other hospitality related marketing jobs working with various resorts around the globe. Hospitality has always been my passion!
About 4 years ago, we decided to start a small vacation rental business just for fun. We've had the best time building/renovating and decorating a few homes that we feature as VRBO rental properties. This property is new to VRBO but we've had 3 other properties over the last 4 years and always had 5 star reviews. We love to create memories for our clients, many of who are now friends and repeat customers.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the WOOD in this property! Heart Pine Floors, and gorgeous rough sewn wood everywhere gives this home a warm, relaxed mountain feeling that is unique to any home we've seen around these parts. We bought it last fall but it needed a little TLC. We knew we were the right couple for the job. We just finished a $100,000 renovation to update the home but we worked hard to maintain its rustic and charming feel. We LOVE it and hope you will too.

What makes this property unique

Awesome location right in Blowing Rock and very close to Boone. Two minutes from App Ski Resort. Gorgeous views of the Blue Ridge Mountains WITHOUT the home being on a cliff. Almost 3 acre wooded lot where wildlife hang out daily. VRBO Premier Partner Owners who supply guests with everything needed for a great stay.
For us, it's about helping people to create memories and that's why we call our little rental business "Treasured Times".
