This is an outstanding and well managed getaway property! We have visited several times to enjoy the calm beauty of the river and the many local interests of Elizabethton and Johnson City!
Clean, beautiful location had everything we needed paper towels toiletries, etc, and Richard and Diane were very welcoming and easy to communicate with.
The Loft is a wonderful place to stay. It overlooks the Doe River and beautiful mountains. The owners are very accommodating and friendly. We absolutely love staying at this place.
Clean and comfortable place as well as beautiful surroundings.We enjoyed fly fishing on the Doe river as well as fishing on Watagua lake , 30 min drive from the property.
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!
Loved the Balcony and it was easy for my spouse to get to the water to wade in for fly fishing! Property was clean and inviting. Had a good restful time; enjoyed the humming bird feeder, I even saw a ruby-throated hummingbird!
Very peaceful, quiet and relaxing. Nice deck and furniture to sit on to enjoy the sounds and sites of the Doe river. Perfect size place for a couple. Well stocked kitchen. Quick answer from owner to my questions. Hope to return.
This property is more beautiful than it appears even in the pictures. I've stayed there twice and thoroughly enjoyed myself both times. Hope to visit again
The loft and the property were so beautiful. Everything we needed was already there! Comfy and cozy. Only a 25 minute drive from the Bristol Motor Speedway. Perfect little getaway!
I had very invasive surgery a little more than a month ago and between the recovery and having two kids in school, we needed a getaway and we got that at this place. It was peaceful, newly built, had all the amenities and the owners were very accommodating.
We fell in love with The Loft. It was everything the post said it was and more. The river was beautiful and the Loft was too. The hosts were very nice and friendly. Can't wait to have another opportunity to stay there! Wonderful views. Love the area.

About the host
Hosted by Richard Forsythe or Diane Forsythe
This is a new build. My wife and I had the volunteer fire department practice by burning down are old garage. We then proceeded to rebuild it with a beautiful one bedroom 850 sq ft getaway above it . It took almost a year to complete it as we did all the interior work ourselves. We are very proud of it and hope everyone loves it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
The Loft is a unique property that has it all. Private, peaceful and the views are amazing. One can sit out on the deck and relax to the sounds of the river. Or one may grab a fishing pole and possibly catch a trout right off the shore.
