Description
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 experience!
- Tom, Posted: 09/17/2025
Wonderful experience with these folks. The cabin was beautiful and clean. Everything was as the listing said it would be. Communication was fantastic all through the booking, pre-arrival, the stay, and checkout. We had one minor problem (outside trash was full when we arrived), and it was promptly taken care of when we mentioned it. Thank you very much for a wonderful vacation.
- Weston, Posted: 08/06/2025
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!

Great spot - The location was perfect. Down the road from the original Mass General Store. An easy drive to Blowing Rock or Boone. Grocery store less than 5 miles away.
This home offered quintessential mountain lodging. The home was rustic. We were there with 20-degree nights and it took a night to dial in the heat. Heat is controlled independently in every room. The main room is heated by the fire and a natural gas heater. Loved the double-sided fire place, with the kitchen side being gas. Made for a great way to start the morning. Had trouble with the downstairs gas fireplace that was controlled from the wall. Beds comfortable.
Kitchen was nice. Could use a new coffee maker for a standard pot. The kurig worked great - bring pods. The downstairs added a full living area. My daughter loved playing Golden Tee.
The lot was great, private. Even with the road across the river, it was still beautiful. My kids and I had a blast exploring. I can’t imagine how fun it’d be in the summer.

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!

A beautiful view of the Watauga river that was easy to access. The cabin had everything we needed to grill/cook and was close to an Ingles grocery store. Easy to spot wildlife. I would advise double bagging your garbage and not putting it in the trash container until your checkout date. We felt at home and plan to return in the future.
- Stewart, Posted: 08/31/2023
We had a great stay at the Draggin Fly. The weather was horrible (cold and storming) but the sounds of the river and rain made for a peaceful experience at the house. The houses next door are pretty close but it feels private when you’re outside and in the back. The neighbors dogs (mentioned before) weren’t an issue at all. The road to get to the house is a gravel one lane road which made us really nervous coming and going, but lucky for us not a ton of people live on the road and we never ended up running into someone going the opposite direction. We’d love to come back when the weather calls for more sun so we can enjoy the river a bit more!

Had a great stay here and would definitely come back. Perfect location for exploring the area, and if you want to fish or otherwise enjoy the river, this is amazing access to a beautiful part of the Watauga. As far as larger rental companies go we found Blue Ridge Rentals very communicative and helpful. We cooked quite a bit in the cabin and were very comfortable throughout our stay. The only downside is being right across the river from NC 105 but it really wasn't a big deal. One other note is while there is A/C and heat, neither are central, so in very warm or cold months you do need to do a bit of temperature maintenance. Again, it didn't end up being an issue for us at all.

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.

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.

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.

The cabin was cozy and comfortable. Our two grandsons enjoyed a dip in the river, and several of us enjoyed the hot tub. The arcade machine was fun for some of the grands. We used the grill one night for supper. We played board games and cards, and would have used the fire pit had it not been for the drizzle. The cabin was just a short drive from downtown Boone with shopping and restaurants. We would love to stay at Draggin' Fly again!

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!!

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!

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.

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

The cabin was perfect and cozy! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals for the weekend and was very spacious - even a foot warmer under the kitchen sink! We were about a 20 minute drive from sugar mountain which was perfect for a day trip. The back porch was wonderful, there was a bar connected to the kitchen window which would be a lot of fun if it was a bit warmer. Check in and out was super easy as well. Overall was a great experience and we hope to go back when it’s a bit warmer!

Our Thanksgiving Vacation at Dragonfly was very good. We had between 4 - 12 family members at the cabin depending on the day. My older kids in particular enjoyed all the activities in the area including the ropes course at High Gravity and the Snowboarding at Appalachian Ski Resort. The younger ones enjoyed Gem Mining and walking to Linville Falls on the Blue Ridge. Everyone had fun trout fishing on the river behind the cabin catching 6 trout (and releasing them after a picture). My only caution is that we rent cabins on a regular basis and this was the smallest one we have rented. We thought there were four bedrooms but the one in the basement is one large bedroom and the master bedroom has two pull out beds in addition to the regular bed. We turned the Master into Camp Grandparents and had the grandkids camp in with us so everything worked out. In short, I would highly recommend Dragonfly Cabin and the folks at Blue Ridge Rentals did exactly what they said and were helpful throughout the check in process.

The Watauga River is quite literally in the backyard- like having a playground to explore! We used a part of our kids’ spring break from school to visit the area and tour App State for our senior daughter. Conveniently located to the university, downtown Boone, and nearby Blowing Rock (be sure to check out Moses Cone Park and trails!). With two vegetarians in our family, we loved the choice of restaurants with amazing veggie dishes! Wished we could have visited Grandfather Mountain about 30 minutes away, but rain and then bitter cold/ high winds made for poor conditions to hike and try out a mile-high swinging bridge. Maybe next time! The cabin was cozy, multiple fireplaces helped keep us warm, and the kitchen was well stocked with basic needs for cooking in-house. A great stay!

Don't be put off by the rundown house and eclectic yard decorations when you pull onto Old Tweetsie Road. You'll quickly move beyond that and come to Draggin Fly. This is a wonderful home with plenty of trees and vegetation that give you privacy from the other well-kept homes to either side. The property is well kept and clean. We also highly recommend that you stop by the Ham Shoppe across the road to grab one of their fantastic sandwiches. We will definitely stay here again if we're ever in the neighborhood.

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!

Draggin fly was the perfect place for our family fly fishing trip. There were 6 adults and 2 children, ages 8 and 6, on the trip and we LOVED being able to walk to the river! We enjoyed the hot tub, having a bonfire and the game-room too. The location is right off the highway, so very convenient to Boone and surrounding sights. The log cabin was rustic and very charming - it made for a unique getaway and change of pace. We will definitely make a return visit!

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!
