Beautiful home and surroundings especially the deck overlooking the river. Carport was a plus. It kept us dry while packing up while it was raining. Everything we needed for preparing meals was available. The homeowner called to give my husband fishing location tips. We thought that wS above and beyond nice. We highly recommended this property

Relaxation at its finest!

A great place to return to after a busy day out. I was looking for a place to relax and this home was PERFECT! Listening to the water out the back was a wonderful addition to my morning coffee on the deck. Richard and Diane are wonderful hosts and were available my entire time for anything I needed and were more than helpful with my needs. A wonderful stay and highly recommend!

Short get away

The property was located off the main road in a secluded neighborhood. It had a large lot and unassuming house, but cute and well maintained. The inside was recently remodeled, pleasantly decorated and clean. Oh, the back yard and deck...What an awesome way to start and finish your day staring at the Doe river relaxing to morning coffee and dinner. Simply beautiful!!!

Absolutely Wonderful

Clean, comfortable, cozy!!! This property is great. Nice neighborhood and right on Doe River. All the extra touches are throughout the home. Having the sound of the river as you drift off to sleep is priceless! Beds are comfortable too. Kitchen is well stocked and has a gas stove! Listing shows there is a washer and dryer, but there is not. Owners are prompt with questions and inquiries. If we are in the area again, will definitely check to see if this gem is available. If you decide to stay you will not be disappointed.

Go With the Flow …

Diane & Richard have a beautiful, immaculately clean & well furnished home on the Doe River. This was our third time staying at Journey’s End and will not be the last! Sitting by the river with coffee in the morning, glass of wine early evening is blissful. We brought our son - 42 years old - to fly fish for two days. He & his Dad had a great time & caught lots of fish on Wautauga & South Holsten. Trophy Waters Outfitters are outstanding guides! Thank you for Journeys End, not a destination, it’s a journey!

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.
