The propert was very cute and met all of our needs. It was well stocked with kitchen supplies , linens, etc. We enjoyed the provided smores making supplies. There were a couple of mixing type bowls in the kitchen that were cracked which lead to our pancake batter leaking out lol. We appreciated the supplied earplugs as there was a lot of noise from the highway. It would have been nice to have better charging options in the small bedroom as the usb port on the lamp only did slow charging and didn't fully charge my phone overnight. The other girls charged their phones in the bathroom, but i needed my phone in the room for an alarm. Overall, a great stay! I would definitely consider staying here again. The coffee shop next door was great too!

Relaxing spot
We enjoyed our stay, it was relaxing being nestled in the valley amongst the mountains! When we stepped out in the early morning there were about 9 deer hanging out together near the gazebo. Local food we had was great, cute quaint little town!

Mountain Getaway
Got away to the Smokys for 3 days/nights with my wife and small child. We had a blast in the Smokys all day and it was absolutely amazing retreating to our canvas campsite. Perfect mix for me who could sleep outside and my wife who prefers a bed and a hot shower. The place and amenities were all great and the scenery around Wears Valley is incredible. I'd recommend this place to anyone considering. While you're here, hit the Mountain Bros hardware store, Mountain Bros coffee, and travel to Peaceful Social in Townsend.

Enjoyable
Glamping was such an enjoyable experience for our family. The disconnect from everyday life was great. The tent was spacious and we were glad to have AC. The fire pit was a nice way to unwind after our activities of the day. The property was close to everything, but far enough away that we could leave the crowds behind. We are already making plans to return.

Our son lives about 3/4 mile away and this was perfect for us to visit for a graduation and birthday. We are on the porch and enjoyed the view several times.

Great little gem. With some minor changes and some cleaning it could be perfect.
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.

Thanksgiving Trip
Loved our “clamping” experience. Loved that it was off the beaten path. Convenient to anything we quickly needed. Very clean and spacious. Loved the shower!
Comfy beds. Our only complaint didn’t come until our last night…the neighbors in the first tent were a group of about 5 young men and ladies. Their cars were everywhere, making it hard for us to park in our designated space. (Rules say no more than 2 cars). And it’s supposed to be quiet time from 10:00pm -7:00 am and at midnight, they were so loud we could hear every word they were saying…or should I say shouting.
Text the manager, and called the after hours number and never heard back from either. Didn’t mind the young people having a good time, they just needed to be respectful of the other campers, and they were Not.

Seasoned professionals
My young family had a great stay at this glamp site. We love to camp, but didn’t want the hassle of bringing all of our camping supplies since this was just one stop on our vacation. This place was the perfect combination of camping and staying in a hotel. We found that anything we needed was provided and then some.
This isn’t a complaint, just an fyi for others staying with young children; make sure to check all the cabinets and rearrange as necessary. Knives were kept in a cabinet accessible to my 18 month old, and fragile decor items within his reach. Just needed to do a sweep and some toddler proofing upon arrival.
Overall, we had a great stay. It’s clear this team consists of seasoned professionals!

Amazing little spot!
We loved the Stargazer's Village! Absolutely amazing property. We are very familiar with Wears Valley, and have stayed in multiple places there, but this was our first stay at this camp. Such a unique place. Great views of Cove Mountain and Little Roundtop. Very close to the Metcalf Bottoms entrance of Great Smoky Mountains NP. We adored the Galileo and 100% will be back.
