Description Description
Welcome to River Run! This newly updated log cabin overlooks the banks of the Watauga River in peaceful Valle Crucis, just minutes away from all the excitement and fun the High Country has to offer. 

Enjoy the main level with spacious great room featuring tongue & groove ceilings, stacked stone gas log fireplace, leather furnishings, and a bigscreen TV. Enjoy preparing meals and snacks in the kitchen with its waterfall granite counters and stainless appliances including a gas stove. There's room for two to eat at the kitchen bar counter and 6 to gather together at the table in cozy padded seats. 

Time for bed? River Run Cabin offers two beautiful bedrooms, one on the main floor and one on the upper level, both with a Queen bed. There's also a loft upstairs with a full bed and single twin bed. The sleeping area on the main floor has an ensuite private bath with shower, and upstairs the loft and Queen bedroom share a full bath with tub/shower. 

Kick back and relax on the main level. Enjoy the open air breezes and the sights and sounds of the river down below. Meals taste better outside and there's a picnic table outside along with a gas grill. After dark, make a bonfire in the firepit and tell stories while you roast marshmallows. Down the hill and across the street is the Watauga River, with the best access to the river being at Valle Crucis Park just 5 minutes down the road, right behind the Original Mast General Store! 

When it's time to head to town, you'll find yourself 5 minutes to historic Valle Crucis, 20 minutes to downtown Boone, 25 minutes to Sugar Mountain skiing and downtown Banner Elk, and 35 minutes to Main Street Blowing Rock. River Run is the perfect destination for your next friends or family vacation to the mountains!

Great cabin, very clean, good location just a couple miles from the mast general store. My kids like playing in the river when we go to the mountains so this place was perfect.

We enjoyed ourselves very much. The cabin was in good shape when we arrive and it was very comfortable. We did have an issue, but your team attended to it promptly. You have a very good rental company and we will continue to use it when we visit the high country.

We enjoyed our stay at River Run cabin. The cabin was clean, great location for ease of all we wanted to do while in the area, and peaceful. We had one issue come up where we needed Blue Ridge Rentals assistance and they were on top of it immediately. Highly recommend using BRR for a stay. We will source them again for future trips!

This is a fantastic cabin right on the river. I did some fly fishing at some public access locations with my brother, we caught a Brooke Trout and rainbows, such a fantastic time! Love the area, we will absolutely be back to this place!

This is a great property! Well maintained, clean, updated kitchen, unbeatable location. Only a stone's throw from Valle Crucis and a short drive to Boone. The location overlooking the Watauga River is serene. Will definitely book again!

Beautiful house in a perfect setting! Loved access to a place to walk our dogs…even took them to the Valle Crucis Community Park which was a few miles away! House was comfortable and a great place to enjoy Thanksgiving away from home! Would highly recommend to a family or friends as a peaceful getaway with such lovely views of the river!
