Private Waterfront property with Mountains surrounding the Loft on the Doe River

Private setting with a large deck overlooking hundreds of feet of the Doe River. If you are looking for a romantic getaway with a private setting this is it . One bedroom with king size bed , large bathroom and large great room with kitchen that leads to a large deck that overlooks the Doe River. This is a single unit. It is a second story apartment with 15 steps to enter.Please consider the steps if you have any limited physical restraints .The lower level is a two car garage used for lawn equipment and storage. Large 55" smart tv with wireless internet. It is a new build on a adjacent lot to our original property #7120102. ( may wish to check it out ) These properties share a common very secluded 410 feet of private Doe River shoreline.
Within 25 minutes of the Bristol Motor Speedway, Roan Mountain, Watauga Lake, and the Tweetsie trail. Close to ETSU and Milligan College and centrally located for the famous "Southern Dozen" for the motorcycle enthusiast. Downtown Elizabethton is close by. Private setting but close to shopping.
The Doe River is known for great Trout fishing, especially in the fall. We have 400 ft of river frontage for fishing and or kayaking. The house is located within minutes of the South Holston river as well as the junction of the Watauga and Doe Rivers, one of the best Trout areas in the eastern U.S.
Sit on the large deck and simply enjoy the peace and quiet. Great place to get away and relax. Read a book or stream your favorite movie while enjoying the sound of the rapids just below you. Full kitchen with everything you need. King size bed in master. Gas grill for cooking out on the deck as well as comfy furniture under cover. Towels and linens, pots pans and dishes provided. We also have streaming You tube tv and Netflix and wifi for your enjoyment.

As the pictures depict, the Loft is a second-floor apartment and requires climbing 15 stairs for access. If you are limited physically or stairs are a concern you may want to check out our other property. #2127445 which shares the same river front but is one level and no stairs.

Peaceful and relaxing
The house was beautifully decorated with so much attention to detail and spotless clean. The furnishings were comfortable and the atmosphere relaxing. The deck was a favorite spot to relax and enjoy meals while listening to the cadence of the Doe River. A perfect place for a couple to retreat for a few days and refresh. Highly recommend

River Front Escape in Tennessee
We had a great time in the Loft of Elizabethton. Our hosts have done an excellent job of outfitting their property with every accoutrement to make their guests feel welcome and comfortable — Comfy bed, plentiful bath towels, full kitchen with all the gadgets and appliances for serious cooking, WIFI, televisions, it’s clean (clean clean clean) … and that’s just the inside. The outside is a dream with a river rolling by, not a creek, and outdoor seating for enjoying the view, watching the family fish, or just listening to the gentle rush of the water. This is one of our favorite short term rentals ever! Attentive hosts and an enviable location made for a wonderful stay!

Romantic Getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at the rental. From arrival at the driveway to the exit at the end of our stay. We were able to enjoy the sun on the huge deck as well as shade under the covered section. The furniture was very comfortable and made it easy to relax and sleep. The big bathroom was an added bonus. The outdoor setting was quaint and well set up. We even got to fish in the river. Hope to come back soon.

We had a great time during our short stay. Sitting by the fire pit at night with the river running by you won't feel like you're in a neighborhood minutes from town at all. Very quiet and peaceful area. Check in/out was a breeze and the hosts were excellent. You would have a hard time finding a better stay for such a low nightly rate in the area. We would gladly stay here again!

Peace by the river
Wonderful two night mother-daughter getaway! Communication was great all the way through; check-in and check-out were easy (they even texted the day before our arrival to let us know the space would be ready early, which was a wonderful surprise). The loft has everything you might need and is fully up to date. The very best feature though is the river. From the back deck you really don't see neighboring houses at all- just the river and forest. Absolutely beautiful and relaxing! We even saw a river otter playing and swimming along the bank one morning! Hoping to return!

As like last year we were here to celebrate our anniversary; this year was our 59th. Everything went well except for a minor issue with the gas grill on the deck and the fact that the first two days were cold and cloudy. The facility was Immaculate as was last year and we will be staying next year this time in the adjacent house property. Diane and Richard are great hosts and make every effort to accommodate your needs.
