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.

Absolutely Fantastic
Everything was perfect and top of the line. From the interior to the exterior pure perfection. Every, and I mean, every possible need was provided for. The house was tremendously clean, sparkly, shining and smelled fresh. The outside was again outstanding-covered patio, comfortable chairs, mosquito candle, grill, table and chairs for a possible card game. The view of the river, so close, was breath taking. The roar of the river was unbelievable. Our stay was wonderful. We travel a lot as retired folk and I must say, this house/outside was the best of all of our travels. Any question we had was answered immediately. We will return. The hosts were the best ever. They seemed like family. Again our stay was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.

We enjoyed close proximity to 3 state parks, where we made day visits and did some easy hikes. Mostly we enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the river and the wildlife. I spent several hours watching a kingfisher hunt- fascinating!

Our second annual "Girlfriends Retreat" was wonderful. Everything was as described--it was just as wonderful as last year! Communication with the host was awesome. It's a great place to just hang out, especially when the weather allows sitting on the deck by the river. So peaceful! We'll be back again next year.

Nestled in a great nook
Being on the end of the street and nestled right up to the river, this a great space for getting away from the hustle but just a short drive to all the amenities of town. Hoping to come back in the summer when we can leave the windows open and fall asleep to the sounds of the water.

Journeys End is a riverside retreat guaranteed to exceed anyone’s expectations. It is amazingly generous of these lovely owners to share this treasure. A charming and winsome location matched by perfect accommodations. Beautifully furnished, sophisticated and comfortable, it is appointed with every creature comfort for which one might wish. Our only regret was that we had to leave!

A Little Bit Of Heaven
We could not have been happier with our stay at Journeys End. The accommodations here are wonderful with the Doe River at our back door making us feel like we were in heaven. Thank you for letting us stay in your cozy home over the weekend while we were attending the National Storytelling Festival. It was fantastic! It was exactly the retreat we had been looking for. The property was very clean, warm, and welcoming. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was better stocked than many other places we have stayed at before. The atmosphere here exudes comfort and peace. AND let's not forget the little gift you left was such a pleasant surprise. Rick and Diane, you left no stone unturned in making us feel right at home. You even checked on us to ensure we weren't lost arriving and offered to be readily available if we needed anything. We're not sure when we’ll return, but we're hoping it won’t be too long. We had a fantastic time at Journeys End and thank you for being so kind! We appreciate your family’s hospitality!

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!

Too much good to say which is why I rated it 5 stars all the way. The stay for my husband and me was mainly for relaxation even though there is so much to do in the area! The location on the Doe river was perfect as was the deck and the house…without a doubt the nicest VRBO we have stayed in. Anything we could possibly need was there! Communication with Diane was also super. I would stay there again in a minute! Loved it!

If you are visiting the mountains of East Tennessee, you will not find a nicer location. Diane is so very organized and has wonderful taste. She will get back with you very quickly if you have any questions. The home is nicely decorated and the view is THE VERY BEST. It is close to Roan Mountain and the covered bridge. We will be back for sure.

Very relaxing getaway
Great stay! As a VRBO owner myself we decided not to visit our beach property for a break, always cleaning, fixing something etc. This is the most relaxing place, well taken care of and feels like home. River says it all, nice not to to think at all and just listen to the river. I recorded it so will have it when a relaxing moment is needed.☺ Southern Restaurant downtown Elizabethton was very good and Cheddar's in Johnson City. Rental had everything you need and more to cook. We chose to cook in more and enjoy the river. Great job! Hope to be back next year. Thanks again for allowing us to stay. Tony, Vicky, Peggy and Larry

This vacation property was simply amazing! As a part of our vacation we came to East Tennessee to visit family and friends since moving to North Dakota in 2021. Everything was perfect, from the coziness of the home inside to the beautiful views outside! This property offered everything we were looking for during this trip. We loved the fire pit, back deck, grill, comfy beds, clean bathrooms and wonderful amenities! The house is decorated beautifully and we felt at home the whole time! The owners have done an outstanding job on this property!

We have stayed at a lot of vrbo properties across the us on fly fishing trips. Journey’s End is hands down the best. Wondering what time it is? Look up, there’s a clock. Wondering about a bird, there are binoculars. There’s so much here that is above and beyond. So many views of the Doe River. Wonderful design, amazing stay. Comfortable, beautiful! We will be back again.

Could have sat on the deck for days!!
While the neighborhood was more dense than I expected, the house sits on the property in a way that you still feel secluded in the back. The Doe River in the bak was like sitting in a dream plus the other side was like a private mountainside. The house was very clean and welcoming with any amenities we needed. Highly recommended!!
