We booked Spence Cabin for our wedding and reception and it did not disappoint! Easy to locate and looks as pictured. Some things to note are there are no mirrors in the cabin and it is a little chilly on the inside even with the fireplace on. We had 16 people are our wedding and were able to fit everyone comfortably but would probably feel squished for any group over 30. Definitely would recommend this for anyone looking for something intimate with beautiful scenery and at a great price!

I absolutely loved having the Spence cabin as the venue for our wedding. The gorgeous scenery, beautiful for pictures, just an absolute dream. Only thing I would recommend is bring your own full length mirror! I had no idea how I looked until I saw photos myself, which was actually quite wonderful as well. You will not be disappointed with this venue.
