Mountains surround Doe River 400 ft Frontage, wildlife out the back door.

Private setting on the Doe River. Two bedroom, two bath. Recently remodeled rambler. Within 25 minutes of the Bristol Motor Speedway, Roan Mountain, Watauga Lake, and the Tweetsie trail. Close to ETSU and Milligan College and centrally located for the famous "Southern Dozen" for the motorcycle enthusiast. Downtown Elizabethton is close by for antiquing. Private setting but close to shopping.
The Doe River is known for great Trout fishing, especially in the fall. We have 400 ft of river frontage for fishing and or kayaking. The house is located within minutes of the South Holston river as well as the junction of the Watauga and Doe Rivers, one of the best Trout areas in the eastern U.S.
Sit on the large deck and simply enjoy the peace and quiet. Great place to get away and relax. Full kitchen with everything you need. King size bed in master. Two XL twins in guest room. Gas grill for cooking out on the deck as well as comfy patio furniture under cover. Towels and linens, pots pans and dishes provided. We also have streaming and wifi for your TV enjoyment.
We have an adjacent property as well, # 2127445. May wish to check it out ! This adjacent property is a romantic 1 bedroom loft for two.

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!!

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!

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 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.

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!

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!
