Fantastic day from start to finish. We booked this house for our family Thanksgiving and it was perfect. Communication with host was great throughout the process. The house was just as described, the porch and riverfront was spectacular. The kids really enjoyed the fire pit. We will definitely book this property again for future visits.

The house and property were beautiful. Perfect for our getaway. The water right outside the back door made for a stunning view both mornings and at night. Fire pit was an added bonus. Thank you for the great hospitality and service from the very kind owners. The pride in their home and their community shows! We will be back!

The VIEW! From the moment we walked in the door until the time we left, our stay here was fabulous. The kitchen has all modern, high quality appliances, with everything you could need. The home was decorated with an on point trout theme, and was so clean! It’s obvious the owners take pride in providing a top-notch place to stay. And did I mention the VIEW??!

Journey's End is absolutely beautiful, the home, the property, the river. It is so peaceful. We've stayed in a lot of vacation rentals, Journey's End has been our favorite. We never wanted to leave, and can't wait to stay again.

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

Fly fishing weekend

From the start, communication was top notch! The house was fantastic and exactly has advertised. Enjoyed fishing in the "back yard" on Friday, we had a blast catching Rainbows and Browns! Love the proximity to Elizabethton, which is where we met our fly fishing guide! Great day floating on the Watauga!!Will be back...thanks for a great weekend!!

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.
