About this property

Bridgepoint Cabin 2bd 2ba walk to Watauga River, hot tub

Just head out your front door to fish, or enjoy the river view from your porch while staying in this cozy riverfront cabin with AC, firepit, gas fireplace, and a relaxing hot tub. Kids enjoy wading the shallow section nearby, or playing in the flat yard, while adults cast a line in. Just minutes from the historic Mast General Store and ever-popular Valle Crucis Park, it is still convenient to historic downtown Boone, Blowing Rock and Banner Elk as well.

ACCOMMODATIONS:
Main level: Master with queen and private bath with walk-in shower, second bedroom with king, second full bath, sleeper in living room
Upper level: Loft with two twins

Looking for a Valle Crucis riverfront cabin that is peaceful yet still convenient to everything? Welcome to Bridgepoint Cabin, located right on the Watauga River. Whether you want to step off your porch for fishing and wading, or just rock away the hours while listening to the river roll by, this family vacation rental is for you! The convenient single-level living and flat yard are a plus for families with young children and grandparents alike. Best of all, you are still just five minutes from historic downtown Boone and within a few more minutes of Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, the Blue Ridge Parkway and Grandfather Mountain.

As you approach the cabin across the wooden bridge, look to your left and you are likely to see someone taking advantage of the great trout fishing in this section of the river. A glance to the right and you may see one of the grey herons that frequent this stretch – they are fishing too!
No need to give up your river view when going inside – the open living area overlooks the river. On chilly days, enjoy a fire in the custom gas fireplace while relaxing in the comfortable furnishings, or enjoy a movie on the flat screen television. The open kitchen with tiled counters and backsplash makes meal preparation a snap so you can get back outside for more High Country adventures.

Just off the main living area are two wood-paneled bedrooms. The master has a king bed and television in case you like to wake up with the news or weather. The second bedroom has a lovely wood and scrollwork queen bed. For the extra guest there is also a sleeper sofa in the living room.
In the mornings, we recommend stepping out through the French doors to the covered porch with your coffee and settling in on the porch swing while you watch the mist rise off the river. After breakfast, head just a couple miles down the road and visit the original Mast General Store. After that, why not stop in at the little deli and pick up some sandwiches or a slice of one of their great desserts, then pull in at the popular Valle Crucis Park for a picnic. After lunch, the family can choose their activity – enjoy a stroll or bike ride on the paved paths, let the kids play on the swings, or take advantage of another fishing opportunity – the park offers both river access and a stocked pond for the kids to try, unless they prefer trying to catch one of the large bullfrogs! Summer evenings often offer live Music in the Valle there at the park for a little foot-tapping fun.
That evening, back at Bridgepoint Cabin, walk across the yard to the river and enjoy! Feet sore from all the day's exploring? Just have a seat on the riverbank and soak them in the cool water. There is a shallow section flowing across the rocks where the kids can play, or cast a line into the deeper sections and see if you can catch dinner. There's nothing like firing up the grill for the evening catch.

If you plan to catch an Appalachian State University Mountaineers football game – that's right, the ones who were on the cover of Sports Illustrated – or head over to Blowing Rock for Art in the Park or a visit to Tweetsie Railroad, or to the slopes at Appalachian Ski Mountain, Sugar Mountain or tubing at Hawksnest, this cabin provides a great starting point. It is just a short drive to most area attractions and events.
Any time of year, Bridgepoint Cabin in historic Valle Crucis NC is a great home base for your mountain adventures and relaxing retreats.

Bridgepoint Cabin has convenient paved access all the way to the driveway.

Wonderful home

We loved staying here for our spring break week. We enjoyed the bedrooms and the two older kids loved the loft area. The home was clean and well maintained, aside from some sub floor issues in the hallway but that didn't affect our stay. The hot tub was nice and we enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the deer and fishermen. The area was nice and quiet. I didn't realize how close by the road and other homes would be, but it was still very quiet and relaxing. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Nice cabin on a river!

Great little cabin. We bought our dogs and stayed for a week and skied at Sugar mountain. Good location to skiing both sugar and beech. And close too Boone. River was great. Only a couple minor things: Hot tub cover is very hard to get back on taken completely off, and not as much privacy as we originally thought (road is right behind the house). Otherwise good stay!

Great location!

Loved the cabin and location! Right on the river with beautiful views. Close to the ski resorts… we went to Sugar mountain (15 minute drive or so) very close to Boone and the amenities. Our dog loved it and enjoyed the multiple deer running nearby! The hot tub was great! We did stay during a weather event and it was nice to see the snowplows and brining trucks going right by. The roads were fine! Tough to see the debris from the hurricane… happy to bring back some life to the area!!! We did try to fish but no luck… ecosystem changes understood but we gave it a try anyway. I will say the cabin advertised a gas grill… the grill was present but the propane tank was not. The towels were sparse… 4 total for the 3 of us… we used the washer and dryer frequently… plenty of paper products for a 3 day trip. I did bring some but didn’t need them. Also brought laundry detergent which I used but didn’t need the dish detergent. All in all, we had a great time!

Budget Property

The property had some nice features that aligned with the pictures, but a few details impacted the overall experience. For example, there was a trash bag near the entrance that appeared to have been disturbed by an animal, and the house had a noticeable musty scent. The bed linens and comforter were quite thin, which could be improved for added comfort. Additionally, the floor outside the two main-floor bedrooms felt unstable and may need attention. While these aspects might have been less significant at a different price point, they stood out given the premium rate.

Great relaxing stay

The property was in a great location. It is busy on the bridge as it’s a well traveled road but it would not stop me from coming back. Lots of fishing on the bridge but fun to watch. You can put a tube in and float down to the valle cruis park which was so fun! The hot tub was removed from the property but Blue Ridge Mountain rentals was amazing to work with and making things right on that end. I got numerous emails making sure we were all set with our stay and would deffinitely be back!

Quick Getaway

The cabin wasn’t as secluded as I expected. It was next to a road which made me a little nervous with my young child and small dog. They communicated that the hot tub was broken which was very disappointing because that was one requirement during my search. The chairs by the fire place were broken. Overall, the cabin was disappointing and run down.

We won’t be returning

My husband and I booked this cabin for a long weekend. We’ve stayed in Boone/banner elk plenty of times and are very familiar with the area. We were looking forward to a relaxing weekend, especially spending time in the hot tub. About 2 days before our trip we were notified that the hot tub would not be working. We were bummed but weren’t going to let it ruin our stay. The house needs some serious TLC. It’s been rented for too long without any maintenance. The floor in the hallway feels like it’s going to collapse, broken tiles in the bathroom near the toilet, towels were paper thin, pillow cases were too small for pillows, 2 of the 4 chairs around the fire pit were broken. It was clear by the overall look of the house that the hot tub was probably not working for a long time and tbh if the hot tub was in working order I don’t think I would have gone in because of the lack of maintenance happening at this house. It’s also worth noting that this house does not have a smart tv, only cable. The front yard faces a bridge that can only accommodate 1 vehicle at a time. It’s a very popular fishing spot so people are always around/on the edge of the property. It’s also a very busy road for a single lane bridge. This house doesn’t have any charm, felt like we were slumming it. You can tell that no one put any love into decorating it. Stay somewhere else.

Idyllic

The cabin was wonderful! It was clean and well-stocked with essentials. The corner lot is right by a one lane bridge over the river. It’s a lovely view. Travelers with small children should note that the ladder to the loft is quite steep - there’s excellent handrails and tread on the steps, but little feet may falter. Also, the back yard drops steeply to the street and river, and not all cars drive slowly despite the narrow bridge. These are not critiques of the beautiful property, just useful notes for parents!

Great time

We had a great trip! We have always loved that area so when we found this house it was perfect! It was close (half a mile) to our favorite park Valle Crucis Community park and Mast general store! Also Over yonder restaurant was good too. It had what we needed for our family. Fishing at the river in front of the house for my husband, pet friendly for our small doodle who loved it, my daughter loved the loft, and I loved the hot tub. We will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your home for other families to make wonderful memories in the beautiful mountains:))

Below expectations

At first sight, the cabin itself was decent. However, there are several things that need maintenance. The flooring is rotting underneath the boards. It felt like we were going to fall through in the hallway. The kitchen counter has this little shelf that's about to fall off, so don't put anything on it. By the way, we had a family of 5 and they gave us 2 small kitchen garbage bags for the whole week, bring your own! If you are planning on cooking, maybe bring some larger pots and baking trays. The deck had areas that were falling apart. The stairs on the back need replaced. Watch the first step from the top, it's slightly higher than a normal step and takes some getting used to. The bottom steps are missing screws and wobble quite a bit. The hot tub cover is old and torn up. The hot tub doesn't stay hot longer than about 30 minutes. The furniture on the porch was so uncomfortable. There is NO privacy on this property. The cabin next door is very close and you can see them and hear their conversations. There is a bridge right outside of the cabin that is frequented by cars and pedestrian traffic, and I mean all day. People and families would come stand and fish and play on the banks directly behind the cabin. Overall, we still had an okay time. The cabin is very close to attractions and stores so that's convenient. For spending as much as we did on this stay, we were sorely disappointed.
