The space
Hey there, I’m your host, Greg!

Glamp Beneath the Galaxy

The property provides a yurt tent that escapes with nature: This location provides you with the Cherokee National Forest full nature immersion. Browse the photos for the forest view; fully furnished stargazer tent; campfire pit; and all the Coleman camping equipment to cook, keep food cool in an ice chest; and opportunity to explore the forest activities – nearby hiking trails, popular rivers, mountains, and tourist towns.

The stargazer Yurt inside the Cherokee National Forest and at the mountain top is the perfect place for stunning views of the forest. Now I’m excited to host you at my luxury glamping yurt in Farner, Tennessee!

It’s not just a yurt, though; it’s a little slice of paradise with…

★ A skylight to watch the stars from the comfort of your bed
★ LED string lights for that perfect ambiance
★ Short drive to tubing at your choice of two rivers
★ Short ¾ mile walk to the Hiwassee river for fishing & river fun
★ A local waterfall hike & tons of serene nature trails
★ Beautiful Fall foliage from end of September to mid-November

But that’s not all! Let me tell you more about the space:

The Location: Our glamping site is conveniently located just a short drive from Blue Ridge, GA, Chattanooga, TN and the Smoky Mountains, making it the perfect home base for exploring the beauty of Southeast Tennessee.

The Tent: Enjoy a 20-foot canvas bell tent nestled among the trees of Cherokee National Forest. Inside, you'll find everything you need for your stay — including a queen-sized bed and twin bed, both with comfortable memory foam mattresses & fresh linens.

Outdoor Fun: Step outside to a picturesque landscape that beckons you to explore. Take leisurely strolls along scenic trails, have a picnic by the spring-fed creek, or unwind with a book or board games on the porch as you listen to the soothing sounds of nature.

Thoughtful Kitchen Touches: I've dotted the space with those little niceties — a kitchen area with all the essentials and a Coleman coffee maker (because I know how important a hot cup of java is on those chilly forest mornings).

There’s also a composting toilet and shower tent, because what’s better than a forest view while takin’ care of business?

Stay Connected (If You Want To): There’s optional free Wi-Fi that you can turn on or off at any time if you feel like sharing the beauty or checking in with the world.

Fire Pit Tales: There's a fire pit here that's seen more laughter, s’mores, and heart-to-hearts than I can count. It's the perfect spot to share a romantic night or connect with friends.

Local Attractions: Whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, there's something here for everyone.

➤ Ducktown and Copper Hill, TN offer a variety of restaurants and cafes where you can savor some delicious Southern cuisine.

➤ If you're up for it, there's white water fun (Hiwassee and Ocoee rivers) and trails that showcase breathtaking views of the Smoky Mountains just a short drive away.
