We were impressed with the attention to detail and amenities- and were especially excited to find everything needed to make coffee (which we forgot to pack). Loved having the fire pit outside too. We had SO much fun rafting with Caleb. He was super knowledgeable and experienced. We appreciated his patience with us because we weren't always great at following instructions. :) We really wished we had booked the longer trip. We will definitely be back soon to add the upper river trip.

You can tell they truly care about the animals and love sharing what they know. There was such a great variety of animals, and everything was very family and kid friendly. We especially appreciated the Bible references woven into the presentations about the animals -- it made the experience feel even more meaningful and unique for our family. So thankful for the time and care everyone put into making it such a fun and memorable visit. We will definitely be back! P.S. We added the kangaroo encounter and Mama's dreams were made! It was a sweet, intimate experience and we learned so much! Definitely recommend adding that on and meeting the "Friends" crew!

I discovered Ocoee Riverside Farm through a suggestion on TikTok. When I saw all the interactive…read moremeet and greets with the animals, visiting this place was nonnegotiable, lol. You can come experience the farm for a few hours featuring 30 - 60 minute guided tours and animal encounters. Or.... You can stay in accommodations on the grounds of Ocoee Riverside Farm. It's a nice retreat away among the flatland plains of Tennessee. They offer old fashioned farm cabins, wagons, lofts, condos and glampsites. Prices range anywhere from $100 - $200 per night. I was exclusively here to spend time introducing myself to the farm residents. The most popular option offered to visitors is the $19.99 Farm Tour & Animal Encounter. The tour lasts 75 - 90 minutes. Now...when choosing this tour, they offer 50% discount add-on experiences to entice guests to stay and play longer. There's the Kangaroo Encounter - $14.99 (normally $29.99) for 30 extra minutes saying hello to kangaroos. There's the Camel Encounter - $9.99 (normally $19.99) for 30 extra minutes learning about the two camels living on the farm including riding on their humpbacks. So...right there w/ the basic Farm Tour for 75 - 90 minutes and including the Kangaroo and Camel experiences, that's 2.5 hours of fun at Ocoee Riverside Farm for a total $45. I think that's a total bargain. And...they plan activities to coincide with each other so visitors aren't standing around waiting for their next interactions. But.... Ocoee Farm offers even more chances to get up close encounters with their animals. For extra $$$, everything is on the table, lol. More add-on animal meet and greets including.... - Sloth/VIP Encounter - $99.99 - two 30 minute sessions. - Baby Kangaroo Bottle Feeding - $29.99 - 30 minutes. - Sloth Cuddles and Snuggles - $119.99 - 30 minutes. - Hug -A-Highland - $19.99 - 30 minutes. - Horseback Riding - 20, 45 and 60 minute rides. - Fennec Fox - $14.99 - 30 minutes. - Baby Llama and Alpaca Feeding - $14.99 - 30 minutes. There's even more farm experiences guests can pick from... I added the Hug-A-Highland and Baby Llama and Alpaca Feedings for $14.99 each, which brought my total to $75 plus taxes and fees for 3.5 hours on a weekend day. The Farm sent me a confirmation email with a list and itinerary for the a-la-carte experiences I signed up for. They instructed me to arrive at 9am. I departed the farm by 1pm. Extra highlights... - With all the various animal interactions and guided tours, every staff member was ultra friendly and went out of their way to ensure guests left with wonderful memories. Fallon, McKenna, Michael and Vladik were knowledgeable about the animals and they kindly offered to take pictures and videos for visitors. - Included in the Farm Tour is the Petting Zoo where they provide a bag of pellets to feed goats, sheep, donkeys, llamas and alpacas. After the Petting Zoo, visitors step inside the Barn to greet...iguanas, parrots, an anteater, hedgehog, lizard, mouse, baby camel and adult camel. - Lastly, I met John, the owner. He shared stories about his life before Ocoee Riverside Farm, his time in the armed services and how he and his family are 100% committed towards giving their farm animals the best possible lives. I had a wonderful experience at this tucked away hidden gem in Benton, Tennessee. If you're near the Chattanooga, TN area, Ocoee Riverside Farm is a quick 40 mile drive east. Thank you for having me.

I had concerns about the product, but Michael was kind enough to reach out and address them for me.read more

I have spent over twice as much for a condo down in Ft. Walton Beach and not had as much space, beauty and privacy as this. The hot tub was so strategically built that while in it you were only exposed to the gorgeous sky and tops of swaying pine trees. Like I said it was cold but we couldn't tell in the hot tub even at night when the temperatures dropped... I REALLY enjoyed the hot tub ;). What would have made it better is if it had snowed. I highly recommend this cabin. It's huge but perfect for just a couple/honeymoon OR can sleep up to 8 in my opinion.
