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.

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.

Excellent!
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!

The apartment (Loft) was beautifully decorated with comfortable furniture. Large bathroom with washer and dryer was a plus. Nice view of the creek from the back porch and windows. Neighborhood was very quiet. We enjoyed our short stay and recommend this property as a nice retreat for a couple.

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.

The sound of the Doe River and the birds was a welcome respite. It feels like you are miles away from everything. But all the conveniences are close by. The Loft is comfortable and well furnished. We really enjoyed our time there.

This is the place to stay when you want down time, porch time, river time, fishing time, quiet time and most of all a nice place to stay. You do not need to bring anything. They have it all.

Excellent property. Very clean and modern. We enjoyed a week of relaxation. We were expecting cooler temps but we apparently picked the hottest week of the year. We'll come back and use firepit. We did catch some trout and enjoyed a delicious dinner. Great hosts!

Beautiful and quiet
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Loft. The home was so well thought out in details, provisions,and decor. Everywhere you looked you discovered something new to look at. The clock near the sliding glass door fascinated us..lol!! It has a lot of neighbors which kind of concerned us, but the neighborhood was quiet and sitting out near the river, you felt like you were the only ones back there. We cast a line a few times although we didnt catch anything. The only thing that we did not like was how hard the bed was. Neither of us slept well. Otherwise, we really enjoyed staying here!!
