About

Meet your hosts

We’re Kate and Adam Spence, the founders of Nemo Tunnel. We’re proud East Tennessee locals who met through our shared passion for fitness, and we’ve always called the Wartburg area home. We’ve spent years exploring and enjoying everything this beautiful part of East Tennessee has to offer, and we’re excited to share it with you.

We created Nemo Tunnel to offer the kind of getaway we look for ourselves — a place to slow down, disconnect from everyday life, and truly experience the mountains. Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape, an adventure with friends, or simply a quiet place to recharge, our cabins are designed to give you a true mountain getaway without sacrificing comfort.

Fitness and wellness have always been a big part of our lives, which inspired our newest project: East Tennessee’s first fitness resort, built into the mountainside with incredible views and a true boutique gym. Across all of our properties, we’ve personally designed, built, renovated, and curated each space with thoughtful details and a focus on creating a stay that feels special from the moment you arrive.

We hope you’ll explore our favorite local spots, slow down, get outside, and experience East Tennessee the way we love it. We can’t wait to host you.

— Kate & Adam
