When it comes to the best yurts in Tennessee, this unique stay might not be your first thought for a weekend off-grid.
Yet yurts are simply perfect for this type of vacation, offering a nice place to stay without the many extras modern accommodation units are spoiling us with. If you are looking for just the essentials and a roof over your head for the night, as well as some more modern touches, renting a yurt is a perfect choice.
While in Tennessee, commonly known for its natural landscapes and many hiking trails – as well as impressive landmarks – you will want to spend as much time near nature as possible. Renting a yurt for you and your group is the smart thing to do, as these rental units are coming with features like a patio, an outside cooking area, as well as the much-needed shower and bathroom. Here are some of the most unique yurts in Tennessee that we are sure you’ll love.
