Spence Cove River Farmhouse ~ Fish, Swim, Tube, Kayak! WiFi, Hiking Trails

The River is Calling! Come experience the Peace and Beauty of this Unique Smoky Mountain Paradise. Fish, Swim, Tube, Kayak- all free and right in your front yard! 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.

With 4 Bedrooms and 3 full Bathrooms, this home provides both privacy and togetherness. Spacious wrap around porch, hardwood floors, full service kitchen, jacuzzi, free wifi, high speed wireless internet Wi-Fi, washer, dryer, dishwasher, microwave, nice size refrigerator and freezer, Central A/C and Heat, Cable TV, games including Nintendo Wii game system (Wii Fit, and more). 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?

Peaceful, tranquil, and relaxing describes our experience at Spence Cove. Sitting on the rocking chairs on the front porch while listening to the sounds of the river flowing by provided a great experience. Diana is a wonderful and gracious host. The house is just as described, and it was clean with a well-supplied kitchen. We felt like we were far out in the countryside, but it was only a short drive to the Pigeon Forge attractions, restaurants, and shopping. We highly recommend Spence Cove and we look forward to returning.

Everything we hoped it would be!

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.

Adorable "Farm House" in perfect location!

We absolutely loved our time here! My two grandsons loved the river and they spent a LOT of time there. It was so relaxing to sit on the porch in the swing or a rocker & watch them swim & play. Dianna is a great hostess. She made sure we had everything we needed and made the whole process simple. We will definitely be back!

Amazing, Relaxing, Peaceful

What an amazing stay! From the truly scenic Drive-In to the beautifully decorated farmhouse! You have 4 bedrooms 3 bathrooms a wrap around front porch that looks right at Little Pigeon River and the beautiful open space. My children ranging from 9- mid teens had so much fun playing in the River, fishing, skipping rocks, and more. We had family dinners and still were close enough to hit up several attractions within an hour from the house. We can not say enough amazing things about this stay.

The River is Fantastic

Our stay was Dec. 25th to 30th. We had 6 adults in our group. We all fit comfortably throughout the house. Pros: Diana is very responsive. Our stay was quiet and we loved sitting on the front porch listening to the river. A lot of things (e.g. kitchen items) were provided. I loved that we were away from the busy area but still close driving distance to everything. You can hear Dollywood’s train and very slightly see their fireworks (8:45pm) at night. Cons: the pictures/description are not up to date. Across the river is now a RV/ Camper park (no longer woods). Fortunately, they had very few people over there so it was still quiet and not bothersome. The check-in is in person which makes coordinating the time of arrival a little more difficult but it went quick.

Beautiful property!

Diana answered all of my questions before the trip very promptly. We stayed at Christmas, so we didn’t really get full use of the river and all of the fun that would come with it. The house was perfect for us and all of the little extras that I always take for a trip were already at the house, so we really had everything we needed. The house is cozy and obviously very well maintained. I really can’t say enough about how beautiful the views are. We hope to go back in the Summer to enjoy the water sports. I would definitely recommend this property and how easily Diana was to communicate with and super nice!

Go ahead and book this house!!

What an amazing house, location, and host! We travelled here with our 4 children (21, 21 18, 14) and everyone had a great time. Diana was so lovely, from booking throughout our stay. The house is huge amd was perfect for us. The kids had their own space and every bed was comfortable. The house was impeccably clean with plenty of towels. We loved having a washer and drier to use, too. The best part was there are no weird rules with this house. We did clean up before we left but, unlike other rentals, we didnt have to strip beds or do dishes.at 5am when we left. The property is so pretty. The river is nice and clean. Fishing and searching.for wildlife was fun. The Smoky Mountains had something for everyone. Our naturaliat oldest is already planning a trip back. This house is far enough outside of the hustle and bustle that it was relaxing, but just 20 minutes away was anything you could need. 10/10 would unequivocally recommend renting this house.
