Greetings! Thank you for taking a moment to learn more about us! In 2021, we made the exciting move from Vermont to Tennessee, embracing a new chapter in our lives. I am a proud veteran of the US Army (HOOAH), and after a fulfilling career at a Fortune 500 company, I retired to dive into a variety of entrepreneurial ventures here in Tennessee. Scott, my partner, retired from his construction company in late 2020 and now channels his expertise into projects that complement our growing business portfolio. Our shared passion for riding our Harleys is one of our favorite pastimes. For the gearheads out there, I own a 2016 Road Glide Special, and Scott rides a highly customized 2012 Street Glide. If you're interested, we'd be thrilled to give you a closer look! Beyond that, I’m passionate about working out—weight lifting and spinning are my go-tos—and I also enjoy container gardening. We are blessed with five wonderful children. Two have chosen to stay in Vermont, while one ventured to college in Florida and decided to stay there. We're thrilled that both of our daughters have joined us in our Tennessee business endeavors. We would be honored to treat you like family at our Glamping Resort. We are truly grateful for the freedom and opportunities that being vacation home rental operators has afforded us. We live full lives, pursuing our dreams and creating lasting memories with our family, and we hope you'll enjoy your stay at Star Gazer Farm Glamping Resort! Wishing you safe travels, Karen and Scott
