Copperhill, Tennessee · On the Ocoee River

Ocoee River Retreat

A riverfront cabin where the sound of whitewater is your alarm clock, bald eagles circle next door, and the fireplace is warm enough to melt chocolate.

Easy Drive to the
Heart of Appalachia

Tucked along the banks of the Ocoee River in downtown Copperhill, Tennessee — this isn't just a rental, it's a homebase. Every window frames a river view. Every morning starts with the sound of moving water and the chance to spot a bald eagle in the oak tree next door.

Whether you're here to chase whitewater, cast a fly rod from the deck, tube down to Horseshoe Bend, or simply stay inside by the fire while the river rolls past — the Retreat has a way of keeping families coming back year after year.

The gas fireplace runs so warm it once melted a chocolate bar left on the mantle. On cold nights, you won't need much convincing to stay in — the river views, the board games, and every streaming service on Apple TV will handle the rest.

A Place for Every Season

Summer brings a lush green riverbank and towering hardwoods. Come winter, the bare trees reveal the old copper mine and railroad tracks — a raw, moody Appalachian landscape unlike anything else. Both are beautiful. Both are worth the trip.
