Treehouses vs Tiny Homes: The Best Choice For You

Treehouses are a great way to sift through the Smokies from an up-close POV. Right in the trees, you can cook, hang, and catch unforgettable sunsets just as they pass through. For some campers, being near to the mountains in this way is the top priority.
For others, it’s more about enjoying those added luxuries that elevate the trip: even more bathrooms for added privacy, a full kitchen with sleek appliances, and a camp-wide gathering area families and couples can use to unwind.
At Sojourn, you can both take advantage of the peak views and classic glamping amenities like hotel-style beds without leaving the comfort of your home.

Why People Consider Treehouses
It’s the novelty of sleeping in the trees that gets most people up there. Renters want to feel like they’re inside the action — watching Tennessee rain fall from their luxury bedroom. Even though treehouses can be a fun alternative to traditional lodging, they aren’t without their faults. Yes, you’ll get top-of-the-line glances at the Smokies’ best, but you can’t guarantee the same security, comfort, and privacy a boutique tiny home can provide. If you’re looking for a drive-up and relax situation, a Sojourn tiny home may be more your speed.
Why Sojourn's Tiny Homes Are The Better Choice
If not for the easy access, upgraded privacy, and all-around comfort, our tiny home village gives renters the chance to combine intimate nature views with luxury amenities. No “roughing it” with us, just beautiful appliances and premium beds. So, when it’s finally time to head back inside and take in the peaks by the kitchen, in bed, or in one of your shared living spaces, Sojourn Lodging’s luxury units are here for you.
