The best yurt rentals 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.

13 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Tracy City, TN

45 private acres on our homestead for you to roam. Eight eclectic sites to choose from ranging from primitive camping to a lovely log cabin. All except the log cabin lovingly built by the owner, loaded with creative touches from up-purposed materials. Featuring: * Two gorgeous waterfalls. Each of our stay-sites are located within about 100 yards of Fifty-foot tall Miller’s Falls. * Two large caves at the end of a short, but rugged hike. * A fairy Village filled with Hollow Oak Tree Fairy cottages and bio-luminescent trees that glow after dark. Magical. * Three acres for group camping centered on a well-equipped, covered outdoor kitchen. * Peaceful Meditation Retreats at the Outdoor Kitchen under brain-wave enhancing satellite dishes. * Certified Hypnotherapy Disclaimer: The flow of the waterfall is subject to fluctuations in temperature, seasonal droughts, & rain fall. The most favorable seasons for waterfall flow are fall, winter & early spring. We came to this magical place to found a self-reliant, homesteading eco-community when I retired from corporate life in 2006. It's called the Village on Sewanee Creek, named for the creek 800 feet below the bluff where we are located. I traveled the world as a senior executive for Baskin-Robbins, Dunkin' Donuts, Papa Johns, Blockbuster, 7-Eleven and other retail franchises, making the world safe for Pizza, Ice Cream, Pancakes Video Rentals and American convenience. And I was ready for something more fufilling. I scouted for a place of exquisite natural beauty and I found it here. I bought way too much land just before the real estate bust and learned how to turn a nice fortune into a very small one. I faced challenges and had lots of fun. Now I want to share our experience. If you love nature and the outdoors, this is the best place to celebrate it.

Tri Mountain View Campground is located in the Northeast corner of Tennessee in the town of Shady Valley. With an elevation of 2,800 feet, Shady Valley is the second highest town in Tennessee. It is just 26 miles from the Bristol Raceway and the Bristol Caverns. It is just a 15 minute drive to Backbone rock and a short drive to the Appalachian Trail. The property was a Dairy Farm and went out of business in the late 90’s and since then there has been over 3,000 trees planted. Some of these trees include the rare Butternut and Hazelnut, but mostly White Pine, Walnut and Oaks. The property has approximately 1,000 feet of fishing on Beaver dam creek, so we recommend bringing waders. There is also a shower house, washer and dryer.

3. Roamstead

77 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Cosby, TN

Roamstead was born on a family RV trip across the country. Our founders noticed their glamorous plans often ended in glorified parking lots or dirty campgrounds without amenities or thought regarding design. Alongside that, many campgrounds seemed unapproachable to those who hadn’t been before. A vision was born to reinvent 'roughing it' in a way that could welcome all adventurers to experience the magic of the great outdoors. We believe the beauty of nature should be experienced by everyone. It's good for your health, and the more we connect with and learn about the outdoors, the more we'll feel compelled to protect it. Whether you've been camping all your life or this would be your first trip, we're here for you. We aim to build a bridge (you know, a metaphorical one) to the great outdoors, where all adventures can truly feel welcome. Roamstead is committed to making our outdoor spaces accessible to everyone. At our Smoky Mountains location, we're partnering with Friends of the Smokies to do just that. Friends assists the National Park Service in its mission to preserve and protect the Great Smoky Mountains National Park by raising funds and public awareness, and providing volunteers for needed projects. They restore trails, build handicap accessible access points, and provide urban youth educational opportunities in the park, to name just a few of their many projects. A dollar of each stay at Roamstead Smoky Mountains is donated back to Friends of the Smokies to help continue their mission.

2 sites · RVs, Lodging · Jonesborough, TN

Fauna Forest Farm is 33 acres of open fields, hardwood and pine forests, a spring and creek, and beautiful mountain views. The vision of the farm is to be a place of sanctuary for both people and the life of the land - the plants, animals, insects, and fungi that inhabit it. Core to that is the educational programs, workshops, and therapeutic experiences we host, as well as regenerative agriculture principles we practice. The farm is also a place where community is fed through sharing in the harvest of organically grown eggs, veggies, foraged foods, and eventually, meats, dairy, nuts, and fruits. The farm is currently home to chickens and two horses. In the past, the farm nurtured Dexter cows (a small breed from Ireland), as well as much wildlife. We have only been on the land since 2022, and are still expanding our farm offerings, but we have big dreams for the farm and are grateful to open this place of sanctuary to others who share a love of the natural world.

The most amazing views from camp!! Our hosts were very friendly, the bed was comfortable, and the provided space heater kept the yurt toasty warm on a 50 degree night. The yurt was a great alternative to setting up a tent and I felt like the price was incredible compared to similar options.

We absolutely loved tent camping with the outdoor kitchen, on Grant & Becky's land. My whole crew (9 of us, including 3 kids and 2 dogs) had an incredible time. Grant was so kind and so absolutely accomodating. We had everything we needed and more for the outdoor kitchen - including two composting toilets and a HOT shower. I was a fan through and through. 100/10 would go back and recommend to anyone!!

We enjoyed the yurt for our 41st anniversary. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were great! I want to know where the pillows were bought so I can have them for my own!!😀 the site was wonderful. We enjoyed a fire every day/night. The dryer did not work, so had to hang out to dry, they do have a clothes line. Very good camping experience. Yurt is smallish but can accommodate a twin blowup mattress. ♥️

David’s yurt was clean, smelled amazing, and truly is a mountain oasis. The shower and bathroom combo is nice and the batteries he had available were perfect for our simple needs (charging our phones). We loved having the creek close by, the Rhododendrons bloomed, and the option to have fresh eggs and tomatoes. David checked in throughout our stay to ensure we were well taken care of while still giving us privacy.

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

We stayed here with a group of 13 and had an incredible experience! The campsite is well-equipped and thoughtfully laid out—our favorite part was the covered kitchen area with plenty of seating, which made meals together easy and fun, even with a large group. There’s a beautiful waterfall just a short walk away, and the meditation yurt was such a peaceful, unique touch that made the whole stay feel even more special. The hosts were super friendly and incredibly responsive, which made coordinating everything a breeze. Highly recommend this spot for group getaways, retreats, or anyone looking to connect with nature while still having great amenities.

Weekend Trip to Tri Mountain View

Loved my stay in the yurt. The 360 views of the mountains and valley were stunning and it was soooo peaceful. Even after an unexpectedly wicked thunderstrom ripped some of the anchors loose the second night, Tim came right away to fix them and check everything else and the rest of the stay was wonderful. Only thing I would change would be having a less glaring light over the bathhouse as it "Over lit" the whole area and the yurt...while great not to need a latern/flashlight it detracted from the campfire/camping ambiance. But would I let that deter me from returning? Hell no! It's a lovely spot and the owners were wonderful, gracious hosts. Thank you.
