This place is perfect! It's not too far from main attractions but far enough for some peace and quiet. Everything was as advertised. Our host was gracious enough to give us a later check out due to bad weather and personally came to check in on us upon checkout.

Everything was just like it was described. The location is far enough for rest and quietness and we could be in Pigeon Forge in 15 minutes. The cabin was perfect for two people and it was very clean.

I stayed here 4 days, 3 nights for my solo trip and I loved it. Looks just like the photos. Very comfortable, clean and feels just like a safe village. Definitely will be returning soon.

Nice place to stay. The beds and couch were comfortable and the kitchen was very efficient. The tiny house was so cozy. It was so peaceful sitting on our private balcony overlooking the mountains.

Sojourn was a beautiful place and the lodging was exceptional- felt especially safe as it was only my daughter and myself… would definitely recommend to anyone!!!

Very nice, remember to keep in mind that its a tiny home so its small but it really ends up feeling spacious especially when you take walks to see the mountains which is only a 1 minute walk to a viewing point 10/10

Booked this Tiny Home for a weekend getaway and we are already planning our next stay! It was private and quiet. There were a lot of amenities on the property and it is close to the main attractions in Pidgeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The hosts also provided many recommendations in the area and were very communicative throughout our stay. Loved it!

This is a really unique property. It was fun just to discover the little things. I don’t know where you would find a comparable. The staff are very responsive if there is a problem. I thought the views were nice too.

The Overlook cabin was beautiful and quaint. 3 sleeping areas, bedroom, loft and sleeper sofa. Views are amazing.

It was a nice view and clean but small bathroom. It was a little far out for our liking and there was no pool. There were other activities there and a little walking trail. It was a cute tiny home and we did feel it was safe area!

Loved the larger deck in the property. It was great to relax in the evening and watch the fireworks from Dollywood.

It was a really nice place close, clean when we got there, contacting the host wasn't a hassle, and most of all a beautiful view.

I enjoyed my stay at the Sojourn Lodge. The tiny home was beautiful and cozy. I had an amazing view of the smokey mountains from the patio area. If you’re going to relax and stay away from anything electronics, this place is great. The wifi there wasn’t that good. I kept having to switch to find the one that would work for the tv the day it rained. They also didn’t have a toaster at my stay. Not a big deal but thought they would have one. But overall, I enjoyed it. It was peaceful.

Adorable tiny home, very clean and accessible. Was very comfortable during our stay and would love to stay there again in the future.

My stay with the Sojourn Lodging was very peaceful and very quaint. They were very nice and they have strayed cats that were so sweet and friendly. I loved the location and how cute the home was. I am very happy with my stay. I’ll definitely be coming back and might have to get 2 tiny homes the next time around. I also appreciate the games they had on the property. It was very quiet and pretty at night as well. I truly recommend.

Place was very nice, easy to get into, AC did not work in the unit, host was slow to respond, when they did respond you could tell it was a chat bot, when I notified them it wasn’t working they said they notified their maintenance department and that was it. Nothing got fixed

We absolutely loved our stay. Place was exactly as described with smart tv and kitchenette. Comfy bedding and added pullout couch if you had an extra guest. Great amenities on site, scenic overlook, multiple seating and fire pits.

Location wasn’t bad The smell of the tiny home was overwhelming, which for some it may not bother, I have asthma, so smells can be troubling.

My son and I have had the best time enjoying the walking paths, playing all the outdoor games, and enjoying the views. We will definitely be returning.

Mattress was too hard; we couldn’t sleep well on three nights. Kitchen needs more stuff like pans and pots. We noticed dirt and dust even in the kitchen utensils; we had to wash everything before use. Location was good; outdoor amenities were nice.

My son had a football camp in Tennessee so we came down from Maryland for a couple of days and found Sojourn; and i am glad we did. Really cool little cottages, Pet Friendly, lots of stuff on the property and close proximity to just about everything. I had to extend my stay one night and the staff was very accommodating. I would recommend Sojourn and I hope to be back one day.
