Ivy quaint tiny cabin creekside - Riverside Resort

Summary:

Discover the perfect Ocoee hideaway, Ivy Cabin at Welcome Valley Village, a Timberroot Rustic Retreat.



While small on the inside, this 450-square-foot two-story log cabin makes no concessions when it comes to style and furnishings. Ivy Cabin can sleep up to four in rustic comfort. The cabin is surrounded by woods, giving you near complete privacy as you enjoy the large wrap-around deck and private patio with a vintage cast iron chiminea-style fire pit.



The Space:

Welcome Valley Village consists of six beautiful cabins and three glamping wagons on a 17-acre gated property, surrounded by lush forests, winding trails, and over 900 feet of private riverfront on the world-famous Ocoee River. This property is owned and operated by Timberroot, a small, family-owned business that specializes in creating rustic spaces that allow you to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature.



Our smallest and most affordable cabin, Ivy Cottage, is perfect for that romantic getaway or as a place to unwind for business travelers. Whatever brings you to Welcome Valley Village, the cabin has everything you need to make the most of your time on the Ocoee River.



This picturebook log home is nestled deep in the woods, creating a deep sense of peace and tranquility. Ivy Cottage's large deck wraps around two sides of the cabin and provides ample outdoor living space. The deck features a delightful patio with a table for dining, reclined bench seating, and an antique cast iron chiminea-style fire pit that will keep you toasty warm on those chilly autumn nights.



The Ivy Cottage can comfortably sleep up to four guests. The cabin has one full bath with a shower/tub combination. The downstairs bedroom has a full-size bed. A tilted ladder with handrails leads to the open loft equipped with two twin beds.



A short walk down the wooded path will take you to the riverside deck and pavilion, perfect for swimming, fishing, tubing, or simply enjoying the view.



We are pleased to allow dogs at Ivy Cottage under specific terms and conditions. See our house rules section for more information.



Guest Access:

Your cabin features a lock box at the door for easy, self-service check-in. Your code to the box will arrive as check-in approaches.

Beyond your cabin, Welcome Valley Village is yours to explore. Wander 17 forested acres bordered by the Ocoee River along beautifully landscaped trails and shared common areas. Head down to the riverside dock to swim, fish, or drop in a tube, SUP, or kayak. The Riverside Pavilion is open to all guests except when reserved for private events. We just ask that you be respectful of fellow guests as you enjoy the property.



The Neighborhood:

Welcome Valley Village sits in the heart of Tennessee's Ocoee River corridor — where the Cherokee National Forest meets world-class whitewater. The Ocoee River hosted the 1996 Olympic kayak and canoe events, and today it's one of the best places in the Southeast for rafting, tubing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Beyond the river, there's no shortage of adventure. Hike to Benton Falls, mountain bike the Tanasi and Chilhowee trail systems, go horseback riding through the forest, or soar through the treetops on a zipline course. Parksville Lake is just down the road for swimming, fishing, and boating. For a scenic day trip, drive the Cherohala Skyway or head to the charming twin towns of Copperhill, TN and McCaysville, GA. Chattanooga and its attractions — Rock City, Ruby Falls, the Tennessee Aquarium — are about an hour away. Out here, the adventure doesn't stop at the front door.



Getting Around:

Welcome Valley Village is located approximately three miles from the town of Benton, Tennessee, and 20 minutes from Cleveland, Tennessee.



Travel in this area typically requires access to an automobile and the property is ideally situated to reach dozens of Tennessee attractions by car.



The property is roughly 20 minutes from the Ocoee Whitewater Center, 50 minutes from Chattanooga, 90 minutes from Knoxville, and 2 hours from both entrances to Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge.



Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport is just under an hour from Welcome Valley Village. You can typically reach either Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) or Nashville International Airport (BNA) in under three hours.
