surround yourself with nature
Currently, there are six cabins on the property, ranging from 600-1,000 sq. ft in size, and one large four-bedroom cabin perched high upon a hill over the river. Four of the cabins sleep 4-7 people while one larger cabin can house up to 8 People and the four-bedroom cabin can happily house 10. While all of the cabins are comfortable and have an almost elfish charm, three of them have a remarkable river view and all of them have private outdoor fire pits.
In addition to our cabins there are 3 Conestoga Wagons corralled around a fire pit in order to provide the most authentic portrayal of pioneer life. Private access to the ¾ bath assigned to your individual wagon, which is located in our custom-built bathhouse.
welcome valley village map
Welcome Valley is nestled at the gateway of the Great Smoky Mountains, so the area boasts the outdoor wonders of the Southern Appalachian Mountains, but is perfectly accessible to people in nearby cities like Chattanooga, Atlanta, Knoxville, etc. By being located in Benton, TN, the Woodlands is bordered on all sides by state parks and lakes, yet it encompasses prime real estate, right alongside the area’s most illustrious attraction, the Ocoee River.
The Cherokee National Forest, where Benton is specifically located, is made up of a concentration of state parks and lakes. Parks and lakes will always attract tourists of all ages, but the Ocoee river offers something truly special. The Ocoee is known far & wide for its 3 mile stretch of world class rapids, partly because of the international attention it received during the 1996 Olympic Canoe and Kayak competition. Outdoor enthusiasts, families, and various groups flock to the Ocoee every year to traverse its class 2-4 rapids.There are only four destinations for white water rafting in the Southeast and the next closest is in Western North Carolina, which is another 1.5 hours down the windy roads of Hwy 74. The immensity of the Ocoee river as a local and regional attraction is evidenced by the sheer concentration of rafting companies located off Hwy 74. The nearby Hiwassee is a milder mountain river, perfect for younger adventurers who are not yet ready to graduate to the Ocoee, and again, just up the road is the popular Nantahala river for more leisure paced rafters.
