Hotels instantly say luxury. They’re always clean and ready to give you a fresh, comfortable stay. With most, you get access to on-site dining that other mountain accommodations might not provide.
The problem? They can be too far from the main Smokies action, forcing visitors to venture miles and miles away from the national park before they can take in the scenery.
With Sojourn’s all-in-one tiny home village, you can seamlessly go from venturing out into the green back down to the main camp where a fire, fresh bed, and luxury shower will all be waiting for you to enjoy.

Why People Consider Hotels
Some people shy away from alternative lodging options because the upfront cost can be more than they are willing to pay. In addition to a lower upfront cost, hotel goers can enjoy nearby attractions due to the tourist-centric nature of hotels. Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, and historic downtown Gatlinburg are all nearby, making the switch from outdoor beauty to indoor fun that much easier.
Why Sojourn's Tiny Homes Are The Better Choice
Although it might be easy to find a mid-range hotel with just enough luxuries to get you by, isn’t the point of adventuring to try something new? Expanding your horizons even when it comes to amenities can make your time out Southeast that much more enriching.
