About this rental

About This Rental

Draggin Fly is a riverside log cabin in Valle Crucis in the Blue Ridge Mountains and High Country region. With 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 1 half bath, it sleeps up to 12 and is set directly along the Watauga River. The property’s waterfront setting supports a stay focused on the outdoors, including the ability to step outside and wade into the river for fly fishing.

The main level centers on a great room with vaulted, exposed-beam ceilings and a stone wood-burning fireplace, along with TV and BluRay playback. Nearby dining includes a table for four by sliding glass doors facing the river and a separate dining room table for six; the dining room also has a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen is equipped for meal prep with a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker, and dishes/utensils. A half bath and washer/dryer are also on this level.

Upstairs are two bedrooms and a full bath with a tiled shower and skylight. One bedroom has a queen bed and access to the upper deck. The primary bedroom includes a king bed, a daybed with trundle, a loveseat, a TV, and sliding doors to the upper deck.

The lower level provides a second living area with a foosball table, HDTV with DVD player, and a Golden Tee arcade game, plus a sleeper sofa. A full bath with a tub/shower combination is on this floor, along with a bedroom furnished with two queen beds. Outdoor spaces include multiple decks with seating, a gas grill, a hot tub, and a firepit reached by a gravel path near the river. Fishing requires a North Carolina fishing license and is catch-and-release only with barbless hooks.

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!

Great place and great communication

We Had A Wonderful Stay At The Draggin Fly
By Emily On 07/15/2020
We had a wonderful stay at the Draggin fly cabin. It would have been perfect if the road was not on the other side of the river. The beauty of the trees and sound of the river nearly drowned out the car noise. I'd come again. It was so pretty! Thanks, Emily L

CHRISTMAS GETAWAY
By Guest On 12/30/2019
We loved our stay and can't wait to visit again. The pictures and descriptions of the property were accurate and appreciated.

WE ARE ALREADY PLANNING TO COME BACK
By James On 11/06/2018
We had a wonderful time! Stayed with extended family - 5 adults and 2 small children - and everyone loved the house! The stairs were a bit tricky for the kids, my almost 5 year old was able to navigate them safely, but we opted to carry the 2 year old. There were some safety gates in the closet but we didn't need to use them. Kids had a blast exploring the cabin and my husband and father LOVED having the river right there for fly fishing! We are already planning to come back in the spring. Thank you!

WILL RENT AGAIN
By Wendella On 03/15/2018
Have stayed at Draggin Fly several times over the past 14 or so years, but this is the first time through Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals. Have rented other cabins from them in the past, and just like this one, absolutely loved It! The staff were so helpful. Got there a little ealier than expected but went ahead and was able to get the keys. The cabin was very clean and had everything they claimed it would have! Great friendly service! Will rent from them again!

WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK
By Michele On 02/08/2018
