Old Copper luxury glamping wagon by the Ocoee

Summary:

Based on authentic 19th-century designs, our temperature-controlled the Conestoga Family Wagons ate Welcome Valley Village offer a unique experience for adults and kids alike.



Enjoy roasting marshmallows over a campfire, sleeping under the stars, and waking up to a stunning sunrise just like the pioneers of old–except you'll have electricity, Wi-Fi, a private bathroom, and plush bedding. Old Copper Wagon at Welcome Valley Village sleeps up to four between a luxurious King bed and twin bunks.



The Space:

Welcome Valley Village, a Timberroot Rustic Retreat, consists of six beautiful cabins and three glamping wagons on a 17-acre gated property, surrounded by lush forests, winding trails, and over 900 feet of private riverfront on the world-famous Ocoee River. This property is owned and operated by Timberroot, a small, family-owned business that specializes in creating rustic spaces that allow you to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature.



All three of our Conestoga Wagons are corralled around a fire pit to provide the most authentic portrayal of pioneer life. While we want you to feel like you are traveling down the Oregon trail, our wagon experience includes all the modern amenities of a feature-rich glamping experience.



Old Copper comfortably sleeps a family of 4 between the memory foam king bed and comfy twin bunks. The wagon's kitchenette includes a microwave, mini fridge, coffeemaker, and rustic washbasin sink with hot & cold running water.



You'll have private access to the ¾ bath assigned to your wagon in our custom-built bathhouse. In addition, you will have access to a shared utility room with a washer and dryer.



Enjoy the wonders of nature by sharing a meal with your family at your private dining pavilion or lounging around the shared fire pit and enjoying the crackle of a good campfire.



For a more private experience, rent all three wagons and have the shared amenities to yourself.



Please Note: We have a strict 4 person maximum, and are not able to accommodate more than 4 guests per wagon including children and infants.



NO PETS are allowed in the wagons under any circumstances. Welcome Valley Village offers several pet-friendly accommodations if you'd like to bring your four-legged friends.
