Yowie Cabin

Tucked into the mountains of Southeast Tennessee, the Yowie Cabin puts you right in the heart of one of the country’s most celebrated outdoor destinations — without sacrificing comfort. Whether you’re looking to unplug, adventure hard, or simply slow down, this is your base-camp.

*The Yowie Cabin shares a wall with the adjacent Yowie Cabin, but each has its own private entrance and operates as a fully separate unit.

Your Ocoee River Escape

The Cabin

Designed for two, the Yowie Cabin is cozy, private, and thoughtfully built. We renovated using reclaimed wood and tin salvaged from a local barn — treated, sealed, and given new life — because we believe a great escape shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense.

What’s included:

Queen bed
Private shower
Kitchenette with mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee pot (coffee provided)
Flat-screen TV and high-speed Wi-Fi
Charcoal grill for your use outside just off your deck

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:

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
Covered pavilion with charcoal grills and picnic tables
9-hole Frisbee disc golf course
Basketball goal, corn hole, ping pong, and darts

Adventures at Your Doorstep

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

Tubing, swimming, and fishing from our private riverfront access
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
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.
