Yurts in Tennessee

Camping in a yurt gives you the best of both worlds—get off-grid peace and quiet with the sounds of nature instead of the whir of automatic hotel doors and elevators. But you also get high ceilings that allow you to stand and stretch, and sometimes comfortable queen-sized beds with fresh linens instead of sleeping on the ground. Some even provide heaters or air conditioning, wifi, hot tubs, and kitchenettes with coffee makers. This option to go glamping is available across the state, from Gatlinburg near Great Smoky Mountains National Park to Memphis on the banks of the Mississippi River, but Middle Tennessee, between Nashville and Chattanooga (near the Georgia border), is prime yurt country. Book a yurt vacation rental to enjoy a night around the fire pit after hiking on the Cumberland Plateau, biking on its trails, or exploring Tennessee's waterfalls. Take in the constellations and then go to sleep breathing the mountain air without having to pitch a tent.
