Yowie Cabin In The Beautiful East TN Mountains

The Yowie Cabin is located near the Ocoee River in the beautiful SE TN mountains & is less than 3 miles from the Cherokee National Forest. 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. 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 city lights. Wi-Fi in cabin.

The Yowie Cabin is connected to our Yeti Cabin with a shared wall, but they have separate entrances and are two totally separate rental units. For the renovation of the cabins, we used reclaimed wood, tin from a local barn that was treated to prevent rust and seal it and have sourced all materials in the most sustainable way possible. Our 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 literally 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.
