I got married at Spence Cabin in July. The weather was beautiful, the cabin and its amenities were perfect, the ceremony space overlooking the river was BREATHTAKING. I wouldn’t change a thing about choosing this location for my intimate wedding. We even received our deposit back for the cabin in a timely manner. You really can’t beat the rental price of this cabin for the beautiful location. Make... I got married at Spence Cabin in July.

You really can’t beat the rental price of this cabin for the beautiful location. Make sure you put directions on your invitations/ communicate to your guests somehow because the address doesn’t take you straight to the cabin. I would advise making a trip out there once before wedding day to make sure you know where it’s at and to help your guests get there as well. An amazing experience, I will remember my wedding day for a lifetime.

This is a unique spot in great smoky mountains national park- you can actually rent out the cabin and patio for events! It’s very charming and totally private. Nobody was around so we buoyed the patio to ourselves and explored the nearby woods and river.

Got married here in 2019. Loved every bit of it. It is a beautiful building, beautiful patio. It was perfect. I think they limit you at 35 guests. (Which is a plus in my book!) We got married in April, so the building not having AC wasn’t a problem for us. We visit every year. I love it so much I got a tattoo of the river outline of Little River and a pink heart to represent Spence Cabin.
