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!

Amazing memories
Wonderful home, very well stocked and cleaned. Great water, pressure, hot water. The perfect location on the river we had so much fun playing in the river for 2 1/2 days. Close enough to town if you needed anything from the store. We got Walmart Delivery a couple times which was just as quick as when we’re at home In a bigger city. This was truly one of the best VRBO I’ve ever stayed in. We are truly hoping to come back Every year!

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.
