Star Gazer Glamping Village

Overall, this was a very pleasant stay. Excellent glamping experience and the hosts are very professional. Cons: the unit was not very clean - we had to move the dust bin because the plugs for the coffee machine was located behind it. It was filthy behind the dust bin. The dog crate was not cleaned (keep the current contagious dog illness which is on the news in mind), all the furniture were full of dog hair also. The barbeque was not cleaned. The shower was not clean There is no toilet brush. There is no space to put your clothes, hang your wash cloths and dishwashing cloths. Suggestion: under-bed drawers, hooks in shower for wash cloths, hooks in kitchen for dish cloths. The view is amazing, but the storage containers was really an eye sore.

The tents were nice in itself. But location was bad due to it being right at the road of a main section and it was noisy. The heat didn't adequately heat it for 40s Temps at night and we froze .It was cold. It wasn't exactly what we were expecting but it wasn't bad if it had been further away from traffic and warmer conditions at night. The tent was beautiful clean very nice set up inside and porch area as well. Location and heating were the only problem for us.

We had a great time on our stay. We weee in the Galileo tent. It was so well stocked. The beds were comfortable and all the amenities were provided. It was a chilly rainy night and the heat worked perfect. We are looking forward to visiting again.

The tents are well appointed. Ours was reasonably clean and very nice inside. We loved the general store and coffee shop within walking distance and the location is a short hop, skip, and a jump from wherever you want to visit, whether it is Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. The barbecue grills and the fire pit are well thought out. As far as the tents themselves, I'd give them 5 stars and I would happily stay there again, if it weren't for the location. I read the reviews. I knew the property was on an intersection and that some had mentioned the traffic and noise. We've stayed in properties with those types of reviews before and have fared pretty well with a little planning ahead, but I underestimated exactly how major the road that passes by the property is. First of all, the traffic absolutely never stops. During the day, there is so much traffic and noise that you can't hear the television or have a conversation without raising your voice. Forget about taking a nap after a long hike. The traffic and the noise stay pretty steady until about 10-11 pm. At which point, it slowed down enough for us to be able to fall asleep and sleep reasonably well, except for the folks with the loud cars and trucks driving up and down, up and down, up and down the road at about 0230 in the morning over the weekend. During the week, there was less "drag-racing" noise, but morning traffic picks up at promptly 0615, so if you are a light sleeper, plan on getting up about then. The owners were extremely professional and communicated clearly and often, the check in and check out process was a breeze and I really, really wish I could leave a better review. If they picked those tents up and moved them somewhere quieter, I would easily stay over and over again. Unfortunately, the proximity to 321 and the noise is just insurmountable for me.

An experience like no other! The amenities and comfort of a hotel or cabin with the sounds and atmosphere of camping. The rain shower is absolutely incredible. At the end of a day of exploring the National Park (which is literally right up the road) or checking out Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, you can relax by the fire pit and roast s'mores, with all supplies provided to you. Highly recommend this unique place!

Tent and amenities precisely as pictured. However, location is sub-optimal—it’s at an extremely busy intersection (high traffic of highway isn’t discernible from a map, but it’s quite loud). Because of proximity to the highway, there isn’t a sense of tranquility or privacy, and we did not feel 100% safe staying in a tent in such a busy area, despite the padlock and cable. Again, photos on website are accurate, but this is not a “tucked away up in nature” type of glamping experience.
