Draggin Fly- Romantic Getaway! River Frontage - Hot Tub - Firepit
Get away to this charming riverside log cabin! Situated on the bank of the Watauga River, you can walk out the door and wade into the water and fly fish to your heart's content.
The main level has a great room with vaulted exposed-beam ceilings and suede furniture arranged around a stone wood burning fireplace with a TV & BluRay player mounted overhead. Vintage fly rods decorate the room, and there's a rustic Christmas tree in one corner decorated with a fly fishing theme. A round table for four by sliding glass doors overlooks the river, and there's another table for 6 in the dining room. The dining room has its own wood burning fireplace and is beside the spacious kitchen with stone flooring. There is also a half bath with washer & dryer on this level.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a full bath with a tiled shower and skylight. The first bedroom has a Queen bed and sliding doors to the upper deck, and at the end of the hall is the master bedroom. This room has a wood fireplace in the corner, a King bed, a loveseat couch, and a daybed with trundle, along with a TV and a set of sliding doors to the upper deck. There are window a/c units in the bedrooms and living room.
The lower floor of the cabin has a second living area featuring a foosball table, HDTV with DVD player, Golden Tee arcade game, and sleeper sofa. There is a full bathroom with a tub/shower combination, and at the end of the hall is a bedroom with two Queen beds in it.
There's just as much to enjoy outside this cabin as there is inside. The top level deck has a hammock, porch swing, and padded loveseat overlooking the river. The main level deck has the gas grill and a selection of rocking chairs. Outside the lowest level you'll find the hot tub, a swing for kiddos, and the gravel path to the firepit with the river just a few feet on down the trail. Relax and listen to the rushing Watauga River as you roast marshmallows in the waterside firepit! The anglers in your group will love casting their lines into the Watauga River as it rushes along just outside your door. (Note that fishing here requires a NC fishing license and is catch-and-release fishing only with barbless hooks.)
Draggin' Fly is conveniently located along a road that, 100 years ago, was part of the railbed for Tweetsie Railroad when she ran from Elizabethton TN to Todd NC as part of the ET&WNC Railroad, and is just 10 minutes outside of Boone near historic Valle Crucis. There are several whitewater and fly fishing guide services nearby, and all the great attractions the High Country has to offer are just a short drive away. You're sure to love everything about this charming riverside log cabin!

We had a wonderful vacation! Fly Fishing 10/10 just steps away from the cabin. Cabin was very clean, kitchen well equipped to cook all meals. Gas grill needs a little work but we made it work. Will definitely book this cabin again!

We had to wait 30 minutes for cleaning lady. Kitchen chairs were all broken or cracked. Couch was disgusting, old blueberries under it. Barbecue was filthy and hot tub had not been cleaned and had no chemicals. Staircase is terrifying and not good for any age. Heating was funky and the main fireplace was out of commission. Also when you book for a week you should get more toilet paper than just one roll and more than 2 dishwasher pods. Maybe have a weekend kit and a week kit. The lighting is also terrible, maybe invest in some better lights that work. Very disappointed in the amount of money I paid and then the cleaning people leave a tip envelope, I paid a big cleaning deposit, maybe they should pay her more. Luckily we we were with family and we made the best of it and had a great time on our adventures.

Great location on the river!
Communication with Blue Ride Mountain Rentals staff was excellent! Check in was super easy. We enjoyed fishing on the river and the super convenient location. The kitchen is well stocked with pans, dishes, glasses and mugs, and also has some basic spices and cooking oil. An unexpected bonus was the plentiful firewood provided by the host. One concern: The stairs to the upstairs bedroom are steep and were difficult for our senior dog. Also, the games downstairs are not in good working order. Otherwise, this is a great place - we definitely look forward to coming back!

Kids are begging to go back
I can't say enough good things about this getaway. It's a home that you can check into and not need to leave. So much to enjoy inside and outside of the property. We did a family vacation with ages ranging from mid 50's to 5 and we all had a great stay. 3 weeks later and my 5 year old is still asking to go back. We loved all the fireplaces and the cozy feeling of the cabin. We did a Walmart grocery delivery the morning we got there but there is a Ingles just down the road. We will definitely book here again. Highly recommend.

Snow tubing trip
Overall great trip. We went up to go to Hawks nest snow tubing. Location was great in proximity to the Hawks nest. Views of the river behind house were wonderful. Slightly sketchy entrance to the neighborhood but nothing to worry about. Would definitely stay here again.

the Setting is perfect, the house is ok
The setting on the river is spectacular. To say the house is rustic and outdated is a kind understatement. We did enjoy sitting out on the deck during a huge rainstorm. The stairs are quite steep (and the ones going to upstairs have open risers). I would not recommend for older folks or very young kids .

Relaxing
There were six adults for our stay. The cabin was spacious and well equipped. I was skeptical about the window a/c units at first, but they kept the entire cabin cool and comfortable. Our favorite part was the river access behind the cabin... We had such a good time! We were pleased with our stay. Just a heads up, the driveway in is very narrow.

Great Vacation, true memory maker!!
Draggin Fly was amazing! We all thoroughly enjoyed the mountain retreat! While the goal was to ski, I think the whole gang had just as much fun if not more enjoying Draggin Fly. The kids can't stop raving about the trip, playing on the rocks of the river and enjoying family time around the fire pit. It was indeed a great place to remember "Papa" our father that past away in September. A true lifelong fisherman, and fisher of men! We know he was with us in spirit enjoying the Draggin Fly experience!!

Could be better
Heating in general is lacking. Lots of remote space/fireplace gas heaters make for a gassy smell in the house. The place is clean but could use some upgrades in the kitchen with pans. I'm being a bit picky but for the money they are charging and fact that this place is booked a lot they could afford to invest in a few basics to improve the stay.

Awesome Weekend Getaway
We rented this cabin to recognize my Daughter’s college graduation. My Family and I enjoyed staying here so much. It was so clean and well stocked! Upon arrival it was very welcoming and cozy. We packed up our entire kitchen as we planned to cook over the weekend and this place had everything we could have asked for. After seeing the staircase my daughter immediately said I have got to go buy a baby gate then she opened the closet and there were 4 baby gates! The owners really have thought of everything! Thank you so much for letting us stay at your cabin! We are already discussing our next trip!

Great house by the water
We chose this house because of the river that runs through the back of the property. It was beautiful to sit and listen and watch it on the deck. My teens and golden retriever loved it. The house is in a great location, not far from groceries stores, restaurants in Boone and Blowing Rock. Banner Elk is a bit farther. The original Mast General Store is only a mile or 2 away. There was beautiful woodland scenery all around the house as well. We didn't get to use the fire pit but it is situated near the water with beautiful views.
The house was comfortable, generally well stocked for cooking, and had lots of seating. We would have liked more towels but this is only a minor flaw.
This house is in the woods near a river in an area of NC where it rains a lot, and I mean a lot. Therefore the house has a little bit of a damp smell but this is to be expected. with the level of moisture the house is surrounded by. It didn't really bother us but I mention this only because if you have members of your party who are very sensitive or allergic to possible mold, you may want to choose a different house. Let me be clear, we did not see any mold of any kind. This is just a heads up for people with severe allergies.
We would definitely use Blue Ridge Rentals again.
