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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a kitchen island.

The minute we opened the door to The Loft, we said "wow". It looked new, clean, well appointed and warm and inviting. We enjoyed the whimsical presence of friendly frogs in ceramic, porcelain, plastic and other colorful materials that were in every room to greet us. We loved that the kitchen had all the pots, pans, cups, glassware and china anyone would need, it had a barbeque on the big deck that had a very cushiony love seat and chairs as well as a dinette style table. We were only there for three nights and didn't cook, but we really enjoyed the Folgers Coffee pods and the Keurig coffee maker. The bathroom is really big and had a stacked washer and dryer set in a closet. It had plenty of towels and a spaceous shower enclosure. The attention to details is much appreciated. Our favorite thing about it was looking out the window, sitting on the deck or taking a walk to the edge of the property to enjoy the beauty and great sounds of a gorgeous flowing river with a hill behind it as a leafy green backdrop. I look forward to going back and sitting on a rock by the river with a hot cup of coffee. The back yard with a river view is incredible. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Forsythe!

We really enjoyed our stay… Diane was extremely helpful, and the property is so peaceful. There is nothing better than sitting out on the deck and watching the river flow by. The dogwoods were blooming while we were there and they are just gorgeous. We used this as our home base for the Bristol weekend race and it couldn’t have been more convenient. Perfect size for my husband and I. Definitely recommend!

The Loft was by far the best place we have stayed. The pictures don’t do the home justice. It was immaculate and so comfortable. The back deck was the best listening to the sound of the river and seeing a blue heron standing on a stone in the middle. A hummingbird enjoyed nectar from the feeder with me right there. It love my The Loft tote bag! The hosts literally thought of everything including a notebook full of information. There are several great local places to eat. I highly recommend Laurel Fork, Dino’s, and J’s Corner.

A lovely get away home. The decor is adorable and the little touches make for memorable discoveries. Everything is super clean and restful. The extra thoughtfulness of things like sugar and coffee that first morning and wood for the camp fire are thoughtful! I will recommend this stay to my friends!

Everything matched the pictures in the listing. I didn’t want to leave. Sitting outside on the deck with my eyes closed listening to the stream was the most calm I’ve felt in years. I was on a once in a lifetime trip, but if I do ever come back to Tennessee, I will most definitely look to see if Journey’s End is still available.

Cute and comfortable

Such a cute little cozy home. We received a message days before that the home would be available earlier in the day which was great. We were only there 2 nights and did not use any of the kitchen equipment. If we have a reason to come back to the area we would definitely look to see if The Loft is available.

My husband and I enjoyed every moment of our 4 night stay. The river running and the quiet property was exactly safe we needed. We will certainly be back. Great communication from beginning to end.
