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!

Peaceful getaway

This house is so nice! We loved sitting on the deck and listening to the river flow by. It was so peaceful and just what we needed. The house was very clean and well maintained. It was well stocked with everything we needed for the weekend. We did lots of fishing and town is minutes away with lots of great food to try.We will definitely be staying again. Thanks Diane and Richard for sharing your beautiful home.

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!

Relaxation, Peaceful, Beautiful

This is a beautiful well maintained property. You will not need anything when you arrive the owners have thought of everything. I was looking for a place to just relax and this is exactly what we got. Still close enough to restaurants but the feeling is so far away from everything.

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!

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!
