Bigfoot Lodge

Not every great getaway needs a full cabin. The Lodge offers four cozy, fully private rooms — each one an affordable and comfortable retreat for couples or small groups who want the run of the Ocoee area without the fuss. And when the whole crew shows up? Book them side by side and you’ve got one of the best group setups in Southeast Tennessee, with everyone under one roof and no one sharing a bathroom.

Your adventure. Your space. Your price

The Rooms

Each Lodge Room (1, 2, 3, and 4) is its own self-contained unit — private entrance, its own kitchenette, and everything you need for a comfortable stay without paying for space you don’t need. Simple, well-appointed, and positioned perfectly for getting out and doing what you came here for.

What’s included in every room:

Sleeps up to six with a queen-sized bed, full-sized fold-out couch, and bunk beds

Private bathroom with shower

Kitchenette with microwave, mini-fridge, and coffee pot (coffee provided)

Shared outdoor access to covered porch, charcoal grills, picnic tables, and two fire pits

Whether you’re a couple looking for a cozy and affordable mountain escape or a larger group taking over the whole building, the Lodge delivers. The Lodge is similar to a hotel with shared walls. Each room with its own private entrance — book one or block them all for groups of up to 24.

Starting at $109/night

+ one-time $40 cleaning fee

The Property

Our 35-acre property sits just two miles off the main road — easy to reach, but a world away from the noise. Deer wander through regularly, the night sky is dark enough for genuine stargazing, and there’s always something to do between adventures.

On-site amenities:

9-hole Frisbee disc golf course

Covered pavilion with charcoal grills and picnic tables

Basketball goal, corn hole, ping pong, and darts

Bring your own raft, canoe, kayak, or tubes to float the Lower Ocoee River and take out at Bigfoot Outfitters

We’re also less than 3 miles from the Cherokee National Forest

Adventures at Your Doorstep

The Ocoee River area is a genuine outdoor playground. You could fill a week without repeating yourself:

Whitewater rafting on the legendary Ocoee River (Class 3–4 rapids, the site of the 1996 Olympic whitewater events)

Hiking to several spectacular waterfalls in the surrounding mountains

Boating on nearby Parksville Lake

Mountain biking on scenic, top-rated trails

Tubing, swimming, and fishing from our private riverfront access

Glider rides and geocaching for something a little different

Location

Bigfoot Outfitters Welcome Valley Road, Benton, TN — just off Hwy 64 East along the Ocoee corridor.

Two miles off the main road, easy to find, and worth every turn.
From I-75: Take Exit 20 onto the Cleveland Bypass (APD-40) and follow it approximately 8 miles. Stay on the bypass until you see the large green sign for Hwy 64 East – Ocoee Exit (ignore other Hwy 64 exits).

Follow Hwy 64 East for about 13 miles. You’ll cross a large bridge over Hwy 411 — don’t exit. About 3 miles later, the road narrows to two lanes and you’ll cross a smaller bridge over the Lower Ocoee River.

Take the next left onto Welcome Valley Road. (If you pass The Ocoee Gondolier Restaurant on your left, you’ve gone too far.) Travel 1.5 miles down Welcome Valley Road and look for the
Bigfoot Outfitters sign on the right.
