This is a very nice, clean, well-kept property. It is an older home that has been redecorated. It is located in a quaint, quiet neighborhood but a comfortably distance from neighboring homes at the end of a road. The kitchen is sufficiently equipped. The beds are firm but comfortable. Both bathrooms are well supplied and clean. The home has a large covered deck that is just steps away from the banks of the Doe river, which provides relaxing background sound when the windows are open. The host is gracious and welcoming. Overall, this is an wonderful property.

Fantastic day from start to finish. We booked this house for our family Thanksgiving and it was perfect. Communication with host was great throughout the process. The house was just as described, the porch and riverfront was spectacular. The kids really enjoyed the fire pit. We will definitely book this property again for future visits.

About the host

Hosted by Diane Forsythe

Host profile image
We found this wonderful property in 2017 and. spent 6 months renovating it for this opportunity to share its beauty. Come sit by the river and relax. Bring your fly rod !

Why they chose this property

The Doe River in Tennessee is one of the cleanest rivers in the United States. Trout is stocked regularly, both rainbow and brown trout. Doe River is also great bass fishing.
The property is close to Watagua Lake, Laurel Falls and numerous other hiking destinations. Antique shopping close by as well as Bristol Speedway

What makes this property unique

The best part of this home is the river in your back yard. Over 400 ft of river right out your back door. We are located near downtown Elizabethton with restaurants and shopping while very close to nature and very private.
