Great place to stay. Cozy and kids loved playing in the river

I stayed here with some friends for a bachelorette weekend. The house was perfect! Great location, awesome view, and plenty of space for everyone. We loved it and now everyone wants to come back with their families!

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.

No complaints.

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 To say the house is rustic and outdated is a kind understatement.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 .

Cabin was clean and check-in was easy. Great location on the Watagua river. Good for fishing. Very close to restaurants in Boone. NIce private road that leads to cabin. Look forward to my next trip there.

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.

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!!

Our stay overall was pretty good. The cabin was out of date and really cluttered. Not as clean as it could have been.

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.

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 had a wonderful time!

Great cabin and property. Would do again, in spring. Metal roof and no insulation was loud during rain storms. Or, sleep in the great basement. Outstanding spring/summer retreat.

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 loved our stay and can’t wait to visit again. The pictures and descriptions of the property were accurate and appreciated.

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.

I loved the location of the property. It was close to a lot of things to do. The road into the house is kinda bumpy but safe. The space was great, lots of places to read and hang out with family. The only negative for us was that with the change in flooring there was a tripping hazard. Overall we had a nice time.

We had a great time at the cabin. The uncertain drive up to the house was a little unsettling. However, we saw great wildlife on that two rut road. Some of our family had some trouble with the mustiness of the house and would recommend someone looking into that. We all agreed the location was amazing and we LOVED the river access.

We ended up not staying at the property we originally rented. When we arrived it was very dusty, including dust (mold) caked on all the portable ac units. The stairs were going to be an issue for the new walker in our family, but the cleanliness was major. Some lights were burned out. Blue Ridge rentals helped secure us another much nicer home.

We had a great time but there was a very strong fish odor from the fridge/freezer and we had to go out and get lysol to cover it up.

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!

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!

We spent time at this cabin for an alumni weekend and absolutely enjoyed ourselves! Cabin was lovely and well decorated, beds were very comfortable, even the pillows which is rare for a rental. Fire pit was probably the highlight because it was right on the river. It hailed on Saturday night while we were there and the noise was amazing on the tin roof. We will definitely schedule this cabin again next year for the same time.
