About this property

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!

    Additional Notes:
    -Firewood may be added by reaching out to us more than a week in advance. You get two wrapped bundles and a firestarter for $25/night.
    - All BRMR homes offer well stocked kitchens with all utensils needed to cook meals. There is also a "starter set" of paper products at the house: a roll of toilet paper per bath, several garbage bags, a small vial of dishwashing liquid, a few tablets of dishwasher detergent, some laundry pods, a roll of paper towels, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and some makeup remover cloths. There are enough of these items for one night, or maybe two. We do not provide hair dryers. Towels and linens will be provided.
    - Check in is after 4pm and Checkout is by 10am
    - Must be at least 25 years old to reserve. This person is required to be the person signing the agreement and must be one of the persons staying in the property for the reserved dates.
    - No smoking inside the home. No trace of smoking left outside the home.
    - Do not leave food or trash outside as it could attract animals. All trash must be bagged and placed in the trash receptacle indicated in the Welcome Book inside the house or your digital guidebook.

    - 4WD/AWD and/or chains recommended during winter (Nov-March) for all homes.

    - Please note that the distances shown on VRBO's map feature are measured in a straight line rather than actual road travel distances and times. We cannot change their setting for this, and encourage all guests to independently verify distances to desired destinations.

    With the Watauga River just outside the home, you'll be continuously enveloped by the grounding drum of flowing waters. Please be advised that a long-term road widening project is currently underway nearby. As a result, construction activity may also be audible during your stay.
