Close to Dollywood and other attractions. The perfect spot on the River where gentle rapids flow into a large, deep pool. Amazing view of the River from the Porch and inside. Feels like a World Away from all the hustle and bustle, yet so close to everything (10 minutes from Dollywood). Ideal Location: Rural Setting on 15 acres just off a state highway. Easy access; NO steep or curvy roads.
Modern Farmhouse on a century old farm surrounded by lush mountain ridges and green rolling hills. Beautiful walks along the River, up the creek under a forest canopy, or hike up the Mountain for more breathtaking views. Grass covered River bank for Swimming, Fishing, Tubing, Kayaking, Skipping Rocks, Crawdad Hunting, Catching Fireflies, and Roasting Marshmallows on the Campfire.

Bed linens provided. Towels provided.
A few steps from the River: The Middle Prong of the Little Pigeon River, also known as the "Greenbrier", is a free flowing stream rated the cleanest stream in Tennessee.. At the perfect elevation to offer a wide variety of fish (cold enough for Trout, warm enough for Smallmouth Bass & others), it is deep enough (year round!) to swim, tube, canoe, and kayak, yet mild enough to offer fun for all ages. Fish from the bank, wade, float tube, or kayak. Spin fishing, Bait fishing, Fly fishing or Cane pole fishing, it's all good at Spence Cove!
Take a stroll up the river road with your tube and float back down to the house. Lie on the grassy river bank in the warm sun or under the shade tree while the kids catch crawdads and play in the river. Watch the Kingfishers snatch a meal from the water's surface. Gaze in awe at the majestic Great Blue Herons and Bald Eagles as they glide over the river. Watch the Sunset on the River from the swing or a rocking chair on the spacious wrap around porch.
See the moon glisten on the river as it rises over the mountain. Star gaze at a night sky, unhindered by the lights of the city. Enjoy the light show of fireflies. Drift off to sleep to a Smoky Mountain Symphony: the roar of the River and the calls of cicadas, crickets, whippoorwills, and katydids. Awake refreshed by the River breeze, Mountain air, and the joyous birds chirping "Good Morning". It may be the best rest of your life! And, it Will be your Best Vacation Ever. Tired of staying at a cookie cutter cabin five feet away from the next rental? Tired of driving curvy and steep mountain roads to get there? Tired of the impersonal, "business" attitude of vacation rental companies?

The house was just as beautiful as in the pictures. We had serene hours there away from the tourists. Very comfortable, all amenities we needed. Owner was available and helpful with any questions we had. Loved having a campfire and walking in the mountain. Hope to go back!
Diana was wonderful throughout our stay, and provided everything we needed. We spent our time fishing and swimming in the river, and enjoyed the porch. We are already planning a trip to return.
This property is undersold! It is a lovely place to stay. Is great for all ages. Just sitting out on the porch and listening to the River Rush bye this wonderfully peaceful. Would recommend it to everyone
Our visit at Spence Cove was perfect. Diane was full of interesting information and was very helpful. House was fully equipped with everything you might need. It was so relaxing sitting by the river listening to all the nature sounds.
We enjoyed our stay at Spence Cove so much. Mrs. Diane made the stay even more enjoyable with her hospitality. We plan on visiting again in the summer! Beautiful area and very convenient location.
We had 6 people ages 41 to 16 and all had a blast. Owner is extremly nice and friendly and had tips on where to go for food and fun. The house was well decorated and had everything we needed already there. We will definitely be staying again.
We really enjoyed our stay! The place was super clean and looked exactly like the pictures. The front porch we spent a bunch of time on and the boys loved fishing and spending time in the river!
We loved the location of the property. The home was close to the activities we had planned in Pigeon Forge and there was a convenient back way to get to Gatlinburg. It was amazing having the river in front of the house the kids loved it. The owner was friendly and very helpful. We had everything we needed in the home. We would definitely stay there again.
The home was fantastic and you can tell Diana takes great pride in her home! The river is great to fish and swim. Location is perfect to get to all activities and attractions easily.
This gorgeous piece of Heaven on Earth has been in the family for over 150 years and Diana makes the 5th generation (the house is much younger!). She knows this community, all the good back roads, all about the River and is happy to help in any way to make this your best vacation ever!
