We stayed in this nicely remodeled house the month of January. Loved how they preserved some of the original parts of this house. Our stay was pleasant and host were exceptional and responded quickly to questions and needs. It’s a beautiful location by the river that is easy to access for fishing. I give this stay a five star.

This was a beautiful cottage. It is right on the Doe River and it was so relaxing to sit on the back deck and listen to the water. It is walking distance to the covered bridge and all the shops in Elizabethton. It was clean and the hosts were very friendly and responsive with some questions we had. I would definitely recommend this place!
