About this property
Bigfoot Lodge Room One - Beautiful Scenery Abounds
The Bigfoot Lodge is located near the Ocoee River in the SE TN mountains & is less than 3 miles from the Cherokee National Forest. The Lodge has a total of four rooms with shared walls, but each room has a separate entrance and they are all totally separate rental units. On our 26-acre property we have a Frisbee Golf course, a covered pavilion with grills & picnic tables for cookouts, a basketball goal, & a ping pong table for your enjoyment.
The Bigfoot Lodge is nestled into the woods in a beautiful setting. We regularly see deer wandering through the property & have an abundance of wildlife. We also have some amazing spots for star gazing that will not be dimmed by city lights. Wi-Fi in cabin. The lodge has a large covered front porch that is a shared space with other guests. Our lodge, cabin rentals, campground, Frisbee Golf course, and covered pavilion with grills for cookouts are open all year. In addition to whitewater rafting, the Ocoee River area offers great hiking trails including several spectacular waterfalls, boating on nearby Parksville Lake, top notch mountain biking trails in a scenic setting, glider rides, geocaching, and more. We offer whitewater rafting trips on the Ocoee River March through October. The Ocoee River was the site for the 1996 whitewater Olympic events and has action packed class 3-4 rapids. It is one of the top whitewater destinations in the entire country. Our property is located just two miles off the main road, so it is very accessible, but is also in a beautiful country setting. We are less than three miles from the Cherokee National Forest that offers all kinds of additional outdoor activities.
Outdoor pavilion with picnic tables and grills, frisbee disc golf course, basketball goal, and ping pong table can be used by any of our guests and are a shared resource.
I live on the 26-acre property where our cabins are located and am here most of the time. If a guest needs something we are happy to accommodate. The phones are always forwarded to either my cell phone or my manager's cell phone, so we are easy to get in touch with.
DIRECTIONS FROM I-75 Take Exit 20 from I-75 – onto the Cleveland By-pass (APD-40). Follow it for approximately 8 miles. You will pass a McDonald’s and several traffic lights. Stay on the Cleveland By-pass until you see the big green sign Hwy 64 East – Ocoee Exit. Do not take any other Hwy 64 exit. If you miss the exit, the Cleveland bypass will continue into Cleveland. Exit onto Hwy 64 East – Ocoee Exit (You will be on this road appx 13 miles) In approximately 9 miles, you will cross over a large bridge over Hwy 411. DO NOT EXIT. About 3-miles after this, the road narrows to 2-lanes and you will then cross a much smaller bridge over the Lower Ocoee River. Take the next left onto Welcome Valley Rd. If you pass The Ocoee Gondolier Restaurant, on your left, you have gone too far. Come 1.5 miles down Welcome Valley Rd and you will see the Bigfoot Outfitters sign on the right. Our main office and check in area is the first building on your right once you pull on to the property.
If you forget an item, we have shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, soap, toothbrush, and toothpaste available upon request. Welcome to the Bigfoot Lodge. We have provided some of the basics including some dishware, cups, silverware and a coffee pot with coffee. Before you leave please rinse anything that was used and leave it in the sink for us so our cleaning staff can wash and disinfect all items for future use. While you are staying with us we also ask that you please keep the doors shut so that bugs are not let inside. Please keep in mind that we have other rentals on the property and that quiet hours are from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM to ensure that any other guests staying with us that may be sleeping are not disturbed. When you go to checkout please turn off all lights and AC/Heater, leave any used towels on the floor in the bathroom, and you can leave the sheets on the bed for us to take care of.

This was a lovely place in the woods, which was very close to town. The cabin was very nice and clean and smell good. It was convenient for everything that we needed.The only thing I would say is that for anyone with bad knees or someone who is elderly, it would be difficult to go up the main steps. There are shorter steps, but you have to walk further. Other than that, we had a lovely stay.
At 9mi. from the Chilhowee Glider port, it was conveniently located for the National 1-26 Championsh
Clean, comfortable, reasonably priced

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. We'd love to have you back in the future.
We stayed six days. It was nice to have a place to come back and relax. He stayed in December so no water rafting activities. Trevor was very nice and answered all of our questions and greeted us when we came in.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review! So glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We'd love to take you whitewater rafting or tubing with us if you get back out this way this summer. Actually, we start offering rafting and tubing trips again in late March. We look forward to hopefully having you back. Thanks, Trevor
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed your stay with us. If you get out this way this summer we would love to take you whitewater rafting with our rafting company Bigfoot Outfitters.
Our 1st VRBO experience and we are very pleased with the overall experience. We enjoyed our stay and very happy with Bigfoot Cabin. The host was wonderful and made our stay enjoyable. He was prompt replying to our messages when we had questions. The cabin was great, clean and fresh. Will definitely be our go to cabin when in town on vacay. Thank you for making our stay an unforgettable one.

It was amazing to be able to have the place all to myself. I cannot speak for noise levels from the other units this trip. Was only in town for a short visit but will definitely be looking to book here again next month if there’s availability. I loved the easy access to town while still maintaining seclusion in the woods. The unit I stayed in seemed to be pretty well maintained as well. :)

Chose to stay here again and I’m pleased to say all was as well as last time. Porch light was left on, AC on too which helped fight the mugginess. The cicadas were in full swing with their song and birds aplenty. If you’re coming in close or after dark, make use of a headlamp or cell flashlight with the walkway to the cabin. Would definitely come stay again next time we’re up this way ☺️

Super clean, plenty of towels, good coffee, internet was great (if he didn’t have internet my service would have been rough). Plan to return in the summer and maybe go white water rafting.
Biggest downfall is the walls are thin. Only complaint

Brandy, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. So glad to hear the you enjoyed your stay in the lodge. We would absolutely love to take you all whitewater rafting this summer. My company, Bigfoot Outfitters, hires seasoned whitewater raft guides to ensure we can provide the best possible rafting experience. We'd love to hear from you. Sorry, I know the walls in the lodge are definitely not soundproof. We spent about $4,000 a couple years ago adding additional spray foam in the interior walls to help reduce noise and that has helped some, but does not eliminate you from hearing guests in the next room sometimes. Thanks again, Trevor
