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?

Not a "spec" house hurriedly built to make money, but a True Home we happily share with you! Spence Cove River Farmhouse is family owned and operated. We offer superior customer service and are available 24/7.

Come experience the Peace and Beauty of Spence Cove. The River is Calling!

Wonderful Farmhouse

Our family stayed at the farmhouse, we all really enjoyed it. Great location, close enough to town to enjoy Pigeon Forge but also able to stay at the house and enjoy the river and fire. Host was great, very friendly, quick to answer any questions. Family said they enjoyed this better than the cookie cutter cabins we have stayed in.

The house was amazing, comfortable and perfectly located just a stone throws away from the river. Everything was cozy and comfortable and we had all the utensils and dishes we could possibly need for our party of six. Communication with Diana was exceptional before and during our stay. We will definitely be back. We loved everything about our stay.

Spence Cove offers a quiet and clean escape from life’s hectic schedule. It is spacious enough for a big family, yet close to all TN attractions. We had a great time - hiking in the Smokies, fishing, mountain coasters, & bbq from Preachers were among our favorites.

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!

All we can say is WOW. This place was amazing. House sits directly on the river, house has everything that you would need and then some. Owner was super friendly and very accommodating. Everything is so close, within 5 to 10 miles to everything pigeon forge and gatlinburg has to offer. If your planning a trip to the area dont miss out on this place. We will definitely be planning another trip to this house. Thanks for the use of your home and making our trip so wonderful.

If you are thinking about booking this place, do it. The description is everything it says it is. The house was clean,quiet and peaceful. Around 8am every morning there was a family of wild turkeys that came to visit. The hostess was accommodating and supper nice. The only regret is that we did not book the place for longer. We WILL be back again. Thank you for the amazing memories.

Wonderful is an understatement. If you are looking for beauty, peace, and relaxation then this is it. The house and property are beautiful and inviting and as soon as you lay your eyes upon it you know you are home. It is well kept and clean and Miss Diana is wonderful and helpful. Miss Diana is attentive to help with whatever questions you may have and is such a joy to communicate with. If you are looking for peace and tranquility, then look no further. P.S. The wildlife are just and added bonus.

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.

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.
