We really enjoyed our stay so much, wish we could have stayed longer. For avid campers used to tents and pop-ups, this was a treat. This quieter and beautiful valley location was great, with an awesome coffee shop, and other quaint shops right there, and the most stunning views. We will be back!!
Place was just what listing said, very clean and perfect for my weekend. Well maintained and in great location. A little close to traffic, but when the foliage grows it will be good. I will schedule again.
We will be coming back next year! We loved everything about this place! Stayed cool during the day (80 degrees outside) and we even had to turn the heat on for the little ones during the night which worked wonderfully. Instructions were very clear and helpful. Great place to stay location wise: beautiful view to sip coffee in the morning. A coffee shop next door along with an ice cream shop, brewery, and souvenir shop across the street with so many goodies. We had a big rain storm come in and sat outside under the awning to enjoy it. Beds were comfortable and the rainfall shower was amazing! Nothing short of a great stay!
Wonderful experience all around! Great location. Beautiful scenery! The local coffee shop and old time stores were amazing. Our kids loved the tent experience. Greats hosts! We’ll definitely go back to stay again

Hey Natasha! We're so happy to hear you loved your stay and enjoyed the cozy bonfire and social area. It's great to know the kids had fun with the scavenger hunt too! We understand that the weather can be a bit unpredictable, especially in the fall. We'll keep working on ways to make your stay even more comfortable, no matter the season. We hope to see you again soon for another fun getaway!
Took two 6 year old boys here for their first glamping trip and had a phenomenal time exploring the glamping tent, the huge lawn area and gazebo, fire pit with provided firewood, and all the cute items at the general store across the street! Highly recommend as long as you can see the advantage of being directly by the road into GSMNP vs having some car noises!

Hey Celia, we're happy to hear that you and your kids did enjoy your stay with us. Thank you for your feedback and we'll definitely be happy to have you back!
The stay was great. Agree with the other reviews that the cars on the road can be a bit loud but we slept very well. The space was great and loved the fire pit and proximity to coffee shop, general store, and hiking. We did have a slight hiccup during our stay which we communicated and the host promptly responded and rectified. They were great!

Hi Mariana, thank you for your feedback and we truly appreciate this. I'm happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and we will be thrilled to host you again!
Was a beautiful place to stay. Very nice setup. There only thing I would say is the road noise was a bit more than we expected. Everything else about the actual place was wonderful.
We had a great stay. The hostess thought of everything to make our stay wonderful! Provided us with s’mores, snacks, water and coffee. Our pup was treated well also with a kennel, toys and treats for our pup. All you need is your personal items!

Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back soon!
Property description was on point. Everything was just like it said it was. The only con is road traffic noise being next to the road but that was mentioned before hand and it does get hot inside during the day if it’s hot outside but that was mentioned also. At night it was cool in the tent even if it got hot during the day. I would definitely stay again just when it’s cooler weather. Thanks again for great stay.

Hi Craig! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We will be thrilled to host you again!
The tent was beautiful and cozy and it had touches of luxury that made it a unique and memorable experience. The hosts were responsive when we had questions. Wears valley is beautiful and peaceful. The only downsides were road noise and weather one night. A strong wind advisory had us nervous but Copernicus held strong :) I feel like it would be more peace of mind if there were some weather evacuation locations and wind ratings posted somewhere for guests.
We had a great time. The place is really well thought out and appointed. Love the little area with the coffee shop and the beautiful mountains. It was super cold out, and the walls are only canvas, so thankfully there were heaters inside, but yeah, the walls are only canvas, so it was a bundle up weekend. Shower was awesome. Beds were great. The road next to us was super loud, though, which was a bummer, and the only real drawback to the place, especially since, again, the walls are canvas. But still, we had a great time and wish we could have stayed longer.

Hey Andrew, thanks for the awesome review! We're so glad you had a great time and loved the cozy vibes of our place. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the stunning mountain views and the cute coffee shop area. We totally get that the noise and the canvas walls can be a bit of a bummer, especially on colder days. We'll definitely keep that in mind for future improvements. We hope to see you again soon for another mountain getaway!
It was our first time visiting Tennessee and glamping and the Stargazer team made everything so easy. There were no issues checking in or out, the place was clean, beds were comfortable, and it was fully stocked with everything we needed. The s'mores and fire pit were a great bonus! While we were much closer to the road than anticipated and traffic was busy during the day (we went July 4th week), this did not take away from the overall experience (there were earplugs provided but we didn’t need them). We went during a heat wave and the air conditioner had trouble cooling during the day but we were comfortable in the evening/overnight. I imagine if we went again in the Spring or Fall that it would be perfect! The site partnered with the local coffee shop where we received a discount plus a keychain as a memory token. Across the street there is a general store that offers fried pies and ice cream.
My fiancé proposed while we were here, so needless to say, Copernicus will hold a special place in our hearts forever. Thank you!

Wow! Thank you for choosing us for your first Tennessee glamping trip Michelle and congratulations on your engagement! We're thrilled Copernicus holds a special place in your hearts. Your feedback on the check-in process, accommodations, and amenities like the s'mores pit is greatly appreciated. We've noted your comments about the road noise and AC unit during the heatwave, which will help us improve. It was fantastic to hear you enjoyed the discounts and treats from our coffee shop. Wishing you all the best and we would love to host you again!
Overall this was a great stay! The place is so cute and well furnished. I really think they had everything you would need - just bring your clothes and maybe some food. We have 3 kids (ages 5-11) and they enjoyed the kids room with bunks, the egg chair on the porch (they fought over this chair the whole trip), the games, etc. The shared fire pit is so nice. The only negatives is the road noise and temperature of the bedrooms. The glamping sites are right off a the road and the parking lot is gravel, so there is a lot of road noise (until late at night) and the coffee shop employees pull into the gravel lot around 5:30 each morning. Given that the walls are only canvas thick, we heard everything! The property did provide ear plugs, so that will help. Also, the unit's main living area does have air conditioner which cooled nicely, but the bedrooms were very warm. We happened to visit during a heat wave, so it was extra warm. Since we were out of the rooms/tent during the hottest part of the day it was not too bad. Two tower fans were provided, so we just dropped the temperature on the AC unit and put the tower fans in the doorway of each bedroom (to blow the cooler air into the bedrooms). If you need/want privacy of closing your bedroom doors, this would not work to cool. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would visit again. However, we would probably avoid the hottest parts of the summer.
Greetings! Thank you for taking a moment to find out more about us! Since 2021, we have been Tennessee transplants after living in Vermont for most of our lives. I am a veteran of the US Army (HOOAH) and I recently retired from a fortune 500 company to sell short term rentals to investors in Tennessee. Scott retired from his construction company in late 2020 and now works on projects to enhance our rentals.
Our favorite thing to do is ride our Harley’s. For you gearheads, I own a 2016 Road Glide Special and Scott rides a highly customized 2012 Street Glide. Let us know if you want a peek…we would be glad to show them to you. My other two passions are working out (weight lifting and spinning are my go to’s) and container gardening.
We have five children. Two of them have chosen to remain in Vermont; one of them went to college in Florida and never came back! We are lucky enough to have one of our daughters joining us in our business in Tennessee. Our youngest daughter is proudly serving our Great Country in the United States Army (GO ARMY!!).
We would be honored to host you on the vacation of a lifetime in the smokies. These are more than just glamping tents to us. They represent the culmination of years of experience in the hospitality and short-term rental business. We are passionate about providing true glamping experiences for you, our esteemed guests.
Wishing you safe travels, Karen and Scott
Why they chose this property
We have been involved with aspects of the hospitality business for most of our lives. Glamping tents were the next logical extension to our flourishing short term rental business. Short term rentals are a more commercial transaction, people generally tend to book them for just an overnight stay while they are out doing other things in the vicinity. Glamping is a magic mix of overnight accommodations and memory making outdoor activities.
What makes this property unique
Enjoy a relaxing and peaceful mountain view morning with your furry friend by your side on the porch of your luxurious glamping tent and soaking in the Smoky Mountain scenery. A short, pet-friendly walk leads you to the Heavenly Roast coffee house, where you can use your 10% café discount for a tasty coffee and pastry. With the Great Smoky Mountains National Park just a quick 5-minute drive, you can easily access pet-friendly trails for an afternoon of outdoor fun together. Later, prepare a satisfying dinner on the deluxe camp grill and end the day with heartwarming s'mores by the campfire, creating lasting memories with your whole family, including your beloved pet.
Please note that there's a pet fee of $75/pet/night.
