Wonderful Home

The house felt like home upon arrival. We weren’t too far from town but away from traffic! The sight and sound of the river running through the backyard was relaxing. Homeowner left detailed instructions and information. We will be renting again next time we are in the area.

Cozy Hidden Gem

We are repeat offenders and plan on keeping that status. Never disappoints, in fact it just gets better with every visit. This sweet home sits right on the Doe River. Very convenient to restaurants, grocery stores, etc. but feels a world away. First steps in the door and you’ll feel you are right at home in this cozy, clean home. Well appointed kitchen. Clean bathrooms with lots of hot water and great water pressure. Super comfy beds and linens Wonderful cowboy grill right beside the waters edge. Very clean gas grill.Comfortable deck furniture overlooking the river. Richard and Diane are the best host. They go above and beyond to assure you have a wonderful visit. Needless to say, we highly recommend Journeys End!!

Right out of a dream

While working on a new TV show I needed a setting on the doe river. Figured I'd spend the night by myself since we had the house anyway. We did some video during the day on the riverbank and it was nothing short of a dream like setting. It was easy and the neighbors were polite and can't wait to go back. Thanks

Missing Journeys End the Moment I Left

The owners put so much Love into making this vacation rental feel like Home Away from Home. The inside was as beautiful and Cozy as the outside! Stunning views of the Mountains and the sound of the River was so peaceful and relaxing. Fishing was fun and watching the Birds were an extra treat! Located near Great Restaurants and Shopping. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and stay warm during a weekend getaway with a beautiful Snow fall. Can’t wait to visit in the summer to do some tubing and kayaking right off the back porch!! Thanks so much!! The locals were as friendly as they come!!

I never slept so good

This place is magical and so so relaxing we never wanted to leave. Each night I was so relaxed listening to the river and hiking through the day that I slept a solid 9 hours each night. Something my mind and body desperately needed. The house is so clean and stocked with everything you need. The outside is everything here. A beautiful river overlooking a mountain. A fire pit and deck with covered awning to wake up and sip coffee. If you're looking for peace, tranquility and a place to gather your thoughts this is the place for you!

Peaceful and beautiful place

Great communication on check in information so well I did not even have to contact the owner for anything. This cute house has everything you need and more. Love the decorations and cleanliness. If you want to fish in the backyard there are trout back there. Bring some waders or water boots and there are holes that fish are in. Read a book sit by the fire in peace this is for you. There are many places not to far from the house to trout fish. Roan mountain state park, Watauga River and many little spots on the Doe River Fishing trail. Elizabethton and Hampton are cute little towns and have pretty much anything you need. Thanks for having us in your home and sharing this beautiful place with others.

Spectacular

Such a blessing to stay at Journeys End. This is by far the number 1 home I have ever rented in all of my travels. The property is absolutely beautiful. Sitting on the deck by the river was so peaceful, especially in the evenings when the automatically came on. We made great use if the BBQ and firepit. Great location - about 10 minutes to Elizabethton. Walking through the door at Journeys End was the beginning of a great vacation!!! Thank you, Diane and Richard!!! My God richly bless you!

Our stay on the Doe River

The house has been totally renovated. If you like to fish, it is the perfect location! Of course, we tied some intertubes together and enjoyed getting in the water! It felt great. I went with some girlfriends from high school and we sat on the back porch, enjoyed the beautiful view, shared memories from years ago, and just enjoyed being together!

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.
