Spence Cabin

The cabin is gorgeous! Exactly what we wanted for our wedding. The only complaint is that while there are a lot of ceiling lights, the lightbulbs are very dim which made the cabin quite dark even on a sunny day. Also, there’s no mirrors in the cabin which is something to prepare for :)

Spence cabin offers an alternative for groups wanting to spend the day in the Smoky Mountains. Our Friendship Force club had visitors from another state with us, to enjoy an easy hike and learn about the area. The weather was cold and drizziling this late April day. The cabin is not heated, but the main meeting area has a gas fireplace on a 30 minute timer that can be continually reset. If it’s a cold day, definitely suggest attendees wear layers of clothing for warmth. Having the cabin allowed us to be dry for the boxed lunches we brought. After lunch, and a talk about the history of the park, we visited the restored cabins of Daisy Town just a short uphill walk or drive from the cabin.
Ranger Michellle was very helpful in checking us in and out of the cabin. My security deposit was returned to my credit card within 4 work days.
Note: there is no cell service in Elkmont. Download your directions before you leave for the park. In an emergency, the nearest help will be the campground checking center where a Ranger can radio for help.

Had my small wedding here <15 people and it was perfect. The location next to the river is absolutely stunning and the cabin itself is quaint and cute. Love that it has a pink exterior surrounded by green it makes for amazing photos. Although it was raining and I couldn’t have my ceremony on the stone patio next to the river we made do with the enclosed porch and it worked out perfect. It was so cozy with the fire place. I would say if you’re gonna have a wedding be sure to bring something to heat your food as there is only a microwave and fridge, which was fine for me. Also there are no mirror so if you plan on getting ready make sure to bring one. The lighting is good, no complaints even though it was overcast, I’m sure if it’s sunny it’s plenty bright in there. Overall it was the absolute most perfect place and I 1000% recommend renting the cabin.

My son’ and his bride’s wedding was magical here. Atmosphere was fabulous inside and outside. Only thing that needs changed is heat, as there was none, and it was so very cold.
