Mirror Cabins vs Tiny Homes: The Pros & Cons
Private deck at Sojourn Camp with Smoky Mountain views
If you’re already familiar with the luxury side of things, chances are you know about mirror cabins. All-around windows, souped up interiors — these stylish rental properties let you stay beneath the trees without compromising on accommodations.
However, they aren’t without their faults. Most properties are single spaces, meaning there isn’t any room to spend solo time, or much additional sleeping room for more than two guests.
If you’re considering a trip to the Smokies but aren’t sure which luxury property style will suit you, know that tiny homes are the safer option for large parties, no matter what you’re celebrating.

Why People Consider Mirror Cabins
People consider mirror cabins for their East Tennessee vacations or wedding celebrations because they feel ultra-luxe from the outside. They’re clean, sleek, and make you feel like you’re the only people on the mountain. But, when you finally venture inside for a long rest or home-cooked meal, you realize there’s not much space to do anything else. Even then, cooking and gathering rooms are limited. Tiny homes give you the space (and convenience) you need to keep the party moving. Invite more guests over for post-celebration meals, or gather around the village fire for a nightcap.
Why Sojourn's Tiny Homes Are The Better Choice
Tiny homes give you that ‘home away from home’ feeling without forcing you to wander too far from your daily luxuries. One unit, and you’re able to catch fresh mountain air from your private deck, or quickly walk over to nearby trails. Our tiny homes are modern in design yet rustic in style, combining the traditional cabin feel of classic camping with the upgraded amenities that keep everything comfortable.
