If you’re looking for a truly immersive farm stay experience, then Ocoee Riverside Farm is the perfect destination for you. Let’s explore some of the features that make this farm stay experience so unforgettable.

Accommodation


The Riverside Cabin

The farm offers a variety of distinctively different lodging options, each with its own individual flair. For those seeking a rustic and cosy escape, the two-story riverside cabin is a perfect choice. This charming cabin is fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a full kitchen, private bathroom, and outdoor seating area with a charcoal grill. From the cabin’s porch, you can enjoy the tranquil sound of the nearby river and take in the stunning mountain views.

Covered Wagons

For a truly unique and immersive experience, the Ocoee Riverside Farm offers covered wagons that take guests back in time to the 1800s. Back then, pioneers used wagons for everything from transporting large loads to moving families across the new world. At the farm, guests can experience the thrill of sleeping in a covered wagon while enjoying all the modern amenities.

Each wagon is equipped with central heat and air conditioning, ensuring that guests stay comfortable regardless of the weather. The wagons feature a king-size bed, a set of bunks, a wagon wheel table and chairs, a two-door mini fridge/freezer, a convection microwave, and a Keurig Duo. The luxury linens and comfortable bedding make for a cozy and comfortable stay.

The covered wagons are the perfect option for those looking for a unique and memorable experience that’s different from traditional accommodation. While the modern amenities ensure that they have everything they need for a comfortable stay.

You’ll have access to a communal kitchen and living area, as well as a private bathroom and outdoor seating area.

Events


Are you searching for an unforgettable way to celebrate your child’s birthday? Make this birthday party a unique experience that they will remember forever! The farm offers three different party packages, each designed to create a memorable and exciting experience for your child and their guests.

The first stop on your party adventure is the Farm Tour, which includes a visit to the petting zoo. Here, your child and their friends will have the opportunity to meet and interact with a wide variety of animals, including chickens, geese, pigs, goats, llamas, miniature Scottish Highland cows, and even kangaroos! Each child will receive a bag of feed to hand-feed the animals, making for a truly unforgettable experience.

The Cowboy Party Package

After the petting zoo, it’s time for the main event: the themed party! The Cowboy Party Package is perfect for your little one. As a special treat, the birthday boy will be allowed to ride on the largest pony! They’ll also get their own cowboy hat and bandana to take home.

The Unicorn Party Package

For the little princess in your life, the Unicorn Party Package is sure to be a hit. The birthday girl will ride her own colourful “unicorn” while her friends take turns riding the ponies, all of which are harnessed onto the sparkle carousel. And as a special treat, she’ll even get to take home a shiny unicorn to wear and keep.

The Farm Hand Party Package

And if your child is an all-around animal lover, the Farm Hand Party Package is the perfect fit. The birthday boy or girl will receive a Farm Hand shirt and the group will spend more one-on-one time with the animals, foregoing pony rides to focus on their furry friends. It’s a great option for kids who may be too big for pony rides or just prefer a more low-key experience.

Experiences


While Ocoee Riverside Farm has a handful of “Events” that are open to the general public, the majority of their “Experiences”, both on and off property, are designed exclusively for the lodging guests. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, an animal lover, or just seeking a peaceful riverside retreat, the farm has a range of activities and experiences to suit your interests.

Animal lovers will delight in the chance to meet some of the farm’s friendly animals, including cows, pigs, and chickens. For those seeking adventure, the farm offers a range of outdoor activities, from hiking and biking to fishing and swimming. The river adventures and waterfall hikes are not to be missed.

Riding

The guests have access to a variety of exciting experiences that are exclusive to those staying on the farm. One of the most popular options is horseback riding, where guests can saddle up and take a scenic ride through the countryside.
