Clean, comfortable and well appointed. Best part of this home is the covered deck right by the river; sounds of water flowing over rocks is music. Sun sparkling on water is beautiful. Comfortable bed, accessible bathroom & showers. Lovely place to stay!

Really enjoy staying here. This was our 2nd time. Only thing that sucked was the rain making fishing a little difficult but we still had plenty of adventures in the surrounding areas. Lots to do and see nearby but also plenty to see within an hours drive. Look forward to staying here again in a few years maybe.

Journeys End is a very relaxing stay. We have stayed here several times and have always enjoyed our stay. The location is very peaceful and relatively private with a small neighborhood in the area of the home, but the people in the neighborhood are also very friendly and are a pleasure to meet. The sound of the Doe River makes sleeping that much better.

This is the perfect mountain getaway. The back patio that overlooks the Doe River is magnificent. We spent every morning out back and ended each evening there also. The house is well-appointed, providing everything needed for a wonderful vacation and a restful and relaxing experience. Highly recommend this amazing place.

The location of this property is incredible. If you enjoy easy access to all the needs necessary to sustain yourself from a small town. Then branching out to explore the beauty of Watugua Lake, to trail riding your mountain e-bike this is the place to do it. Not to mention the serenity of the DoeRiver, which is your backyard all leads to wonderful experience. The communication with Richard and his wife Diane was excellent.

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.
