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. The Watauga River begins its 60 mile journey on the northern slopes of Grandfather Mountain and flows generally north and west into Watauga Lake on the North Carolina/ Tennessee border. The word "Watauga" is derived from the Cherokee word "Watagi" meaning "beautiful waters" or "whispering waters." This dynamic riparian zone is actually a migration corridor for many varieties of fish, birds and animals and plays a significant role in preserving biodiversity. During good weather you can explore the river or try your luck at catching a variety of trout such as brook, brown or rainbow. This section of the Watauga River is now privately stocked and is exceptional for fly fishing! ALL fishing is single artificial lure, catch & release only (no live or scented baits or corn please). Fly fishing guide services are available upon request. When it rains, the river rises and the kayakers come out to shoot the rapids. A River Runs Through It is situated on 2.75 acres with the Watauga River running through the center of the property. The cabin was built of hand-hewn hemlock from Washington State and pine paneling from Watauga County. Access to the property is a tree-lined gravel road that was once a portion of the railroad bed of the Western North Carolina- East Tennessee Railroad. A circular driveway winds around Rhododendron and welcomes you to A River Runs Through It. On the covered entrance deck you will find plenty of rocking chairs and a limited stack of firewood. This cabin provides a cozy feeling with hand-hewn hemlock logs and beams, leather furniture, oak floors, area rugs and a stone fireplace with firewood provided. Original artwork and pottery along with track lighting with dimmers accent the main level. A surround sound TV/DVD/CD system with streaming services and SlingTV for regular programming and high speed wireless internet provide entertainment. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. One bedroom with a king size bed, flat screen TV and a full bath with a granite top double sink vanity and Jacuzzi tub complete this floor inside. Upstairs you will find a large bedroom furnished with antiques, quilts and a flat screen TV, along with another full bath, and the air hockey game room with a Queen sized air mattress tucked in the closet. A cell booster has been added to the home for enhanced cell reception. Step from the kitchen onto the new deck and use the grill, table and chairs to dine on the river; or enjoy the six-person Hot Springs spa with moto-massage and a fountain. Stairs lead from the deck to the river. Outside is a fire pit for guests to enjoy, as well. A River Runs Through It is conveniently located near a main artery that connects the ski slopes of Avery County with the exceptional antique shops of Foscoe with the rich history of Valle Crucis with the great dining and entertainment of Boone and Blowing Rock. Several whitewater and fishing guide services are also located nearby. \-Guests returning to A River Runs Through It may have a 10% discount, not to be combined with other discounts to the rent. \- All BRMR homes offer well stocked kitchens with all utensils needed to cook meals.

The cabin is spacious, lovely and cozy. The beds are comfortable. The living room and kitchen are large. My kids enjoyed the hot tub. The views from the back porch are amazing. The river is beautiful, but we couldn't enjoy it because it was freezing cold during our stay. We hope to return during the summer to enjoy the river. The cabin is basically close to everything: Blowing Rock, Boone, and Grandfather Mountain, etc. It's a great location. Our favorite restaurant was "Mexican Rock," and it is located in Blowing Rock. Thank you for having us; we had a wonderful time. -Mendozas. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e356b7bc-c9fd-4b2c-a7d8-2c11aaed9075-1764551204171.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1004cbda-1bfd-4683-a4d4-61b99b12c6c8-1764551228121.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/483e17b2-7c58-4bdb-a05f-59afc05ac4b7-1764551222780.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ccc695e8-b019-429f-9f06-f869fa37479c-1764551312787.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mendoza F.

The back deck is the selling part of this location . The view is amazing and calming. I do have a few complaints. It is extremely hard getting in and out of the rock dirt road.. I was also shocked when you first pull in a junkyard looking area is the first thing you see when you turn onto the road. I must say I was a little scared at first about what I had spent my money on. I also felt like all you could smell was marijuana coming into the road , and in the front area of the cabin. However the smell was not in the back area . Not sure what kind of wildlife that would be. Over all our stay was great , and we were happy with the cabin . ##### Jamie C. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Betty S. 4 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Location on River We had a wonderful time at this property. My husband fly fished for 3 days and was so delighted to catch mostly large/thick fish. The women found nice shopping and plenty of activities to keep us busy - all fairly close. Kitchen had everything we needed. Nice coffee pot and toaster for bagels. Beautiful view off front and back porches. Fire pit and hot tub were both used and enjoyed. TV has nice speakers for surround sound. The cleanliness of the property was a little disappointing. Basic center of place was clean. Dishes clean, sheets clean and fixtures in restrooms were clean. However, there was dust coating the top of the curtains; thick spider webs in high places; much dust on blinds in downstairs bathroom and the baseboard also had a thick layer of dust on it. There were wet leaves piled up next to unit and around hot tub on patio that were left for us to clean off. We were left a 2 ft push broom that weighed a ton and was hard to push. I reached out to see if a regular broom was available. Office responded to text twice but never heard back from the “team” that was going to help with this. This is a wonderful property and I would stay again. The lack of general maintenance of the property is beginning to show on the property. I hope the owner does a site check before repairs become costly. ##### Betty S.

The cabin was perfect. Best of both worlds - remote and private, but quick access to many things to do. Our favorite part was morning coffee on the back deck with the sounds of the rushing river! ##### Larry H.

Only disappointment was the kitchen appliances were not equal to the cabin. ##### Rex D.

We had a great time hiking at nearby places. While at the cabin the boys loved jumping rocks on the river, playing air hockey and making a fire. The hot tub was great too! Cabin was clean and had many amenities. We would stay there again! ##### Shannon B. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly D.
