The Watauga River was restocked May 2024 with Rainbow Trout! 

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 and release only. Live or scented baits are not permitted. Fly fishing guide services are available upon request. When it rains, the river rises and the kayakers come out to shoot the rapids.

Paradise Found and A River Runs Through It are two log cabins that comprise a 2.75 acre complex with the Watauga River running through the center of the property. Both cabins were 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. 

The cathedral pine ceiling and skylights of Paradise Found create a spacious warm feeling as you walk in. The main level features oak floors, a wood burning fireplace, Bose entertainment system, HDTV with Roku streaming services and SlingTV for regular programming, a well equipped kitchen with both a Keurig and regular coffee maker, and  spectacular views of the river. You will also find the large master bedroom with a hand-hewn hemlock beam ceiling, king size bed, flat screen TV and full bath. This cabin is accessorized with fine original art, antiques and old photographs.

Walk onto the screened-in porch and experience hundreds of feet of waterfalls, boulders and pools. Enjoy unique riverfront dining at the granite table with four chairs or relax at the sitting area or in the Hot Springs hot tub. The porch opens onto a large deck with expansive river views, a picnic table and gas grill.

Both cabins are conveniently located near the 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.

Paradise Found is truly a fantastic couples retreat. The river was soothing to listen to, as was the rain on the tin roof. More than enough room to cook a small meal, work on a puzzle, read a book outdoors, hot tub, fire pit-what more could you ask for? The fishing was fantastic! Just come prepared with felt bottom wading boots to safely navigate the rocks-small and large. You have to cross a little area with quick waters before you can access the deeper pools for the bigger fish :-)

Our stay at Paradise Found was AWESOME. The home is beautiful and the view of the Watauga River from the back deck is amazing. We spent most of our week just sitting in the rocking chairs or hottub watching the river when we weren't crossing the rocks. We highly recommend this home. You will NOT regret it.

The was the perfect cozy cabin for a romantic anniversary getaway. Everything felt brand new from the high end appliances, leather sofas and comfy bed and linens. The proximity to the traffic on 105 threw us at first but the sound of the river drowns out the traffic and the location makes everything close by. The river, the hot tub on covered screen porch, the beautiful fireplace and the outside fire pit makes this location top notch. Take extra towels for use after the hot tub. Fully stocked kitchen but no basic spices if you plan on cooking in. 5 stars!!!

Cute cabin on the beautiful Watauga River!
"Paradise Found" is a cute and cozy cabin with a deck overlooking the gorgeous river. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for our 6 night stay. We made good use of the hot tub, fire pit, fireplace, and grill. Much of our time was spent on the deck or down by the river. My husband enjoyed fly fishing (with some success!) while I hopped the river rocks and found a perch for reading. I cannot review this property without mentioning the busy highway right across the river from the cabin. The traffic noise was pretty constant, competing with the soothing sounds of the flowing river. I'm guessing that this road would be more of a negative in seasons where the leaves are off the trees and the traffic is clearly visible. But...everything is a trade off. Because the cabin is situated close to various roads, nearby towns, restaurants, hiking areas, etc. are readily accessible. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Best of it All!
The location is simply unbeatable if you want to be in nature, but also 10-15 minutes from downtown. It was truly perfect for enjoying the location but also being able to be downtown for a nice dinner — something that can be a challenge in the mountains! I have been vacationing in the area for 10+ years and this was my absolute favorite location to date. The house was perfect for us. Well appointed, clean, and aesthetically pleasing. Absolutely will return.

BUCKET LIST
This was my 4th visit to A Paradise Found. Honestly I think everyone should add this place on their bucket list. If you enjoy solitude, outdoors, streams, wildlife and nature then this is the place to come. My husband and I take our 2 dogs and I think the dogs love it as much as we do.The house is so dog friendly with gates securing the large outside deck, a screened in cozy porch with rockers and table and chairs for dining outside. While outside you can enjoy the creek with roaring rapids and plenty of fish to catch/ release. If you are lucky you will see plenty of cute little critters hanging out by the rocks and rapids. Although this is your average looking mountain cabin, the inside is decorated with history and charm, yet so inviting and cozy. Convenient to plenty of shopping, dining, hiking, exploring etc..I have and will continue to always book with Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals. Best customer service experience I have ever had with rental companies.They go the extra mile to make sure from beginning to end you feel at ease with the process. During our stays they always reach out to see if we are ok and to make sure we have all we need! This place is one of my favorite vacation spots of all times. I am positive you would feel the same way once you have stayed. I will mention the site mentions it's a 1 bedroom and it's not. There is a bedroom and bathroom upstairs and a beautiful bedroom and bath downstairs. I have rented the cabin in winter, spring, summer and fall. I enjoyed them all so much it would be to hard to say which time to go! Take a chance and give them a try you will have no regrets and you will certainly be back! I don't actually like to review this place because it is my little private getaway but, the owner and Blue Ridge Rentals are worthy of the praising. Hope this helps you consider your next mountain getaway. Thank you !!

PERFECT EVERYTHING
The river alone is worth the stay! We arrived at night so we couldn't see it, but as soon as we got out of the vehicle and heard the roaring waters we were so excited. The first morning we sat on the porch and just watched and listened to the water. Every day we went down and explored the river and our kids kept asking for more river time. We used the fire pit and the fireplace with ease. The highway is just on the other side of the river, so you do see and hear the occasional vehicle. The water pretty well drowns out the noise with the exception of 18 wheelers or motorcycles. I imagine in the colder months, when the leaves are gone, you'll see more of the highway. Regardless of that, we will absolutely be returning in the future!

A PERFECT MOUNTAIN GETAWAY
A Paradise Found was the perfect mountain get-away that we were looking for! Situated close to Boone, this cabin offered convenience while not sacrificing on the mountain appeal that we really wanted for our visit. We plan to return in the future. Absolutely beautiful property!

IT WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST PLACE WE HAD EVER STAYED
My family and I stayed at Paradise Found. It was the absolute best place we had ever stayed. We opted out of any site seeing once we were in the cabin...there could not have been a prettier site any place other than where we were. I was almost certain that when it was time to leave I would have to drag my husband kicking and screaming out of our cabin. :)

CLEAN WELL FURNISHED AND COMFORTABLE
This is the the 3rd home we've rented through Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals. The staff is great to work with. The home was clean, well furnished and comfortable for our family. We enjoyed our getaway and will work with Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals again on our next high country vacation!

AMAZING PROPERTY
We will definitely be back to this amazing property, "Paradise Found." I could lose weeks at a time just sitting on the porch, listening to the creek.

WE LOVE THIS RETREAT
A Paradise Found has become our favorite getaway! The sound of the Watauga River provides soothing sounds and we are drawn back to this special place again and again. This time a beautiful snow fall blanketed the hemlock and rhododendron, but when we return in May it will be a different place, yet still have the same great energy. We love this wonderful retreat!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I contacted this company on a fluke for a last minute (and much needed) getaway. I spoke with 4 different staff members during the whole process and found each one of them personable, helpful, and accommodating. This was my first experience with this company, and it was highly favorable!

PERFECT GETAWAY
A Paradise Found is the perfect name for this lovely cabin because it is truly just that! We enjoyed coffee by the fireplace, evenings at the fire pit, relaxing in the hot tub overlooking the Watauga River, and cooking in the well-stocked kitchen. The feel of being secluded, yet convenient to everything. We've already booked our next stay. Thank you for creating a perfect getaway for us!

A NICE COTTAGE TO RELAX AND TO ENJOY LIFE

The cottage would be a nice place to relax and to enjoy nature during any season. The kitchen has good appliance, the chimney and the fire pit are nice and so is the hot tub inside the enclosed porch. The mattresses are in good condition, and there is good water pressure for the showers. We particularly enjoyed the evening lighting in the living area and in the master bed room. Very warm and cozy. We were surprised and loved the blue starlights in the trees at night time as well. We did not have a chance to explore the river but it is definitely a good place for fly fishing or to soak your feet. We had a chance to meet the owner of the cottage and he is very nice and so are the representatives of the Blue Ridge Mountain Rental. One thing to be aware though is that the road leading to the cottage is not paved so dont drive any sissy car on it. Overall, we would highly recommend this cottage for rental.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERY PART
A Paradise Found was exactly that....a paradise found. We absolutely loved every part of our stay, from the fireplace to the hot tub and to the fishing in the river. The only negative is that our trip was not long enough! We were already trying to make plans to go back on our way home from this lovely cabin.

WE WILL BE BACK
We love your cabin on the river! My husband did see the 2-foot trout you mentioned but was not lucky enough to catch him. But we did see an eagle! Two times and even got pictures. He was fishing on the river and hope he had better luck than Kevin! I hate we didnt get to enjoy the fire-pit, but did enjoy the fireplace and hot tub. We WILL be back! Thanks for sharing your home!
