The Barn Loft

YOU HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED A FARM UNTIL YOU'VE LIVED IN A BARN! This is a unique "Experiential" stay for the adventurous animal lovers out there! That’s right, make no mistake, The Barn Loft is located INSIDE an actual working barn with privileges and access to animals that only our Barn Loft guests receive! Each morning, if you choose, you may assist us as we feed breakfast to the animals in our petting zoo. Want to add more to your vacation? Consider our "Stay Here, Play Here” animal encounters which can be found right here on our website! A stay in The Barn Loft is an absolute MUST-DO for horse and animal lovers alike!

The space While the animal's bed is down in pine shavings you will be afforded comfortable beds with all linens and towels provided. There is a full bath, refrigerator, and microwave on the ground floor of the barn. There is also a gas grill, with a side burner and picnic table on the barn patio. We maintain a very clean barn but please recognize that IT IS A BARN. If anyone has ever told you that you are “high maintenance” then The Barn Loft is probably not for you and we would encourage you to consider one of our other accommodations.

Also, please be aware that we do not recommend this accommodation for children under 5 and even then we suggest that you exercise caution as guests will need to be able to climb a 12 ft ladder to access the loft. (Backpacks are recommended and a luggage pulley is provided).

While you will have access to a refrigerator, gas grill with side burner, microwave, and fire pit, you will not have access to a stovetop/oven so please plan accordingly. We also have some wonderful local dining options right here in Benton and Ocoee. More info on these and other area interests can be found in our Guidebook located on the homepage of our website.

Some special spaces on the farm, for the common enjoyment of all of our guests, include our Riverfront and Swan Pond Gazebos, the children's log cabin playhouse, as well as our playground located across from the covered wagons. Our boat ramp, located at the end of the main driveway, offers easy access to the river should you decide to take a cool dip or splash around with the kids.

Guest access

Ocoee Riverside Farm is a 30-acre riverfront farm located in the small town of Benton, Tennessee.

Other common space areas include a playground and playhouse for the kids, as well as our Riverfront and Swan Pond Gazebos! Additionally, we also offer our guests a number of extra activities that we refer to as our farm "Encounters". These include Farm Tours, Sloth Encounters, Kangaroo Encounters, Horseback Riding, Camel Rides, Pony Rides, Bottle Feedings and more! We STRONGLY encourage you to book your encoutners early as spaces are limited and fill up quickly!

That's because each morning you are offered the opportunity to work alongside us during morning chores in the equestrian barn as well as our petting zoo.
