Bridgepoint Cabin: Walk to Watauga River, hot tub, play in the yard!

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!

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.

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.

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!

Cabin was comfortable and clean. Property is old and in somewhat disrepair. Kitchen is marginally equiped. Jacuzzi cover is very difficult to take off and put on. Front porch furniture is lacking and uncomfortable. Overall was ok for 2 people and a short stay.

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!

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.

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!

We had a lovely relaxing stay. We loved the proximity to the river and the ability to hear it from the porch. Having the hot tub and fire pit gave us different areas to relax in. The cabin is on the corner next to the bridge but although it was pretty busy during the day it did not affect our enjoyment of our stay. We got plenty of waves and the evenings were quieter. The cabin had all we could ask for and we enjoyed every minute. Would definitely come back!!

Overall the stay was lovely. Close access to the river and the hot tub were a lot of fun. There’s also a bar barn through the field across the bridge that was a lovely place to adventure. Only cons were we requested an air mattress which was not there, the mail toilet was finicky, and a nail in the porch sticking up. Maintenance did come and fix most things though.

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.

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!

This is a very nice property that is in great shape and has been lovingly maintained. Everything was as good as, if not better, than as described. Very likely to return in the future.

House was cute and sweet and was the perfect space for 4 adults and 4 young kids. We were so grateful that the place came with a pack and play since we forgot one of ours. The view of the river and bridge is beautiful.

Great location. Beautiful river view. Super cute cabin

Place was old in the tooth. On the conner of bridge so you heard everyone with a load pickup truck, motorcycle going to work or coming back. Not worth the money.
