The Lily Barn is a 100 acre farm that makes the perfect rustic wedding venue, in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. We are located just 5 minutes from the Cades Cove entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, 30 minutes from Gatlinburg and 25 to Pigeon Forge and Sevierville. Our 130 year old cantilever barn sits among a 3-acre perennial garden.

In addition to the cantilever barn, houses and outdoor garden gifts, there is an evergreen maze for children of all ages, a pond, and beautiful Day Lilies and native plants in bloom.

The Lily Barn Farm Report

The Lily Barn takes pride in being a Botanical Native Plant Garden for the last twenty years, It is one of the few places to buy a native plant in East Tennessee. We encourage you to walk our garden and see how we have used native plants. Peruse our cold frame for the "unsual". A Native plant tends to be hardier and establish more easily.

Very bad business, the owner is really rude and my pictures turned out really bad.
