The cost of a journey depends on the size of the group. The size of the group determines the size (# of bedrooms and bathrooms) needed. The cost can also depend on the week/month you choose to attend a journey.
If the Gatlinburg area has a special event the same week of our journey, cabin rental increases compared to other weeks. July and October are peak seasons. Cabin rental increases more during these months also. Seldom do I schedule a journey in July due to the number of families visiting during that month. However, if you choose that month, we can work it out. October is a beautiful time for a journey as the leaves turn color, well worth the extra expense.
Currently, cost of a journey has been $1,500-$1,800 per person.
The cost includes:
You will know the cost per person before any commitment of payment is due.
Not included in the cost:
Please remember this is a Non-Profit Ministry. The cost is based on all expenses to make the Mountain Top Journey successful for YOU!
Payment Plan: 50% down is required when you book the week you want to attend a journey. The other 50% is due 30 days before your journey begins. You can make those arrangements by contacting her thru this website (contact us tab), email her at [email protected] or calling/texting at 309-253-9138.
There are no refunds once the cabin is booked and tickets are purchased for activities. If you are unable to attend, you may request that another person go in your place. It would be your responsibility to collect your money from them.
Please ask if you are interested in the Mountain Top Journey but financially can not attend. I may have Sponsorships that I can bless you with!

Not Included in the Cost
You are responsible for your own transportation to and from Gatlinburg. If you choose to fly, you would fly into Knoxville, TN but would need a rental car. It’s about a 45 minute drive to Gatlinburg, unless other arrangements have been made with me. Some groups meet at the airport and share the cost of the rental car. Other groups who live in the same area, have met and driven down together, sharing the cost of gas.
Your meals while traveling to and from Gatlinburg
If you ask for more than 1 hour of massage or want to add a Gua Sha facial treatment.
Any shopping you do
If the group decides they would like to do an extra activity while in Gatlinburg that has a fee to it such as – miniature golfing, whitewater rafting, ziplining, tubing, chair lift to the mountain top, etc.

Mountain Top Journey's dream is to purchase land and build a cabin designed for all of our needs and activities for a mountain top journey experience. Currently, we are asking for donations, working with donators and large investors to raise the funds needed. Once we have our Mountain Top Journey cabin fully funded (paid for in full), the cost to attend Mountain Top Journey will be much lower, as we would not as we would not have the cost of renting a cabin. This will make it possible for many more to be able to afford attending Mountain Top Journey. I can't wait to bless hundreds who need Mountain Top Journey to make a difference in their lives.
The future Mountain Top Journey cabin will be available for rental when it is not being used for Mountain Top Journey. It will be designed to host church retreats, organization meetings/retreats, board meetings, as well as large families.
Please join us in asking God to bless Mountain Top Journey in being fully funded for this project that will bring glory and praise to Him and His kingdom.
