Stay Wild — Luxury Smoky Mountain Retreat on 2.5 Private Acres Stay Wild is not your average Smoky Mountain cabin. Set on 2.5 secluded acres between Pigeon Forge and Wears Valley, this three-level luxury retreat delivers something increasingly rare in the Smokies — genuine privacy, upscale finishes, and resort-level amenities, all within minutes of the area's best attractions. Whether you're here for adventure, relaxation, or simply to gather your favorite people in a beautiful setting, Stay Wild was designed to exceed expectations at every turn.
THE STAY WILD EXPERIENCE Wake up to sweeping mountain and forest views. Enjoy your morning coffee on the wraparound deck as the Smokies come to life around you. Spend your days exploring Dollywood, hiking national park trails, or simply doing nothing at all. End every evening in the covered hot tub or gathered around the fire pit under a sky full of stars. With 3,500 square feet spread across three levels, two full kitchens, multiple living and entertainment spaces, and thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor gathering areas, Stay Wild is built for the way groups actually travel — together, but with room to breathe.

We had a fantastic stay! Bryan's communication was excellent—quick, clear, and very helpful throughout our visit. The house was spotless and well-maintained, making it easy to settle in and feel right at home. It’s also a perfect spot for families, with plenty of activities and attractions for all ages nearby. We’d definitely stay here again!
The cabin is exactly as pictured. It was a great fit for my family, with plenty of space to spread out. We especially enjoyed all the games! Good proximity and an easy commute to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. Everything was clean and the two kitchens are very well equipped for cooking and eating in. We would definitely rent this cabin again on a future trip!

Hi Angela! Thanks for the kind words! We’re glad you and your family enjoyed the cabin and all the space (and games!) it offers. Sounds like you made great use of the kitchens too. We’d love to have you back anytime!
Kitchen had everything we needed. Kids loved the pool table and hot tub. We loved the large table and bar area for eating and playing games together. Lots of tvs! Kid would have loved to all be together in one bunk room but a pullout couch was available so it worked. The decks were great to sit on in the mornings and have your coffee and look at the beautiful views! Very convenient location only taking 10 min to get to all the things! Would definitely stay again bc it was clean. Water pressure wasn’t always the best but that’s to be expected with a mountain cabin.

About the host
Hosted by Bryan Smith
Hi, we’re Smig and family! We live full lives filled with travel, hiking, beach trips, and plenty of laughter. We fell in love with the Smoky Mountains and built our Stay Wild cabin as a place where families and friends could reconnect, relax, and make lasting memories.
As frequent travelers ourselves, we know how important the little things are—easy check-ins, sparkling clean spaces, cozy beds, fast Wi-Fi, and those special touches that make a place feel like home. That’s the experience we want for every guest who walks through our doors.
We’re hands-on hosts who care deeply about your stay, while also respecting your privacy and giving you space to fully enjoy the cabin and surrounding area. Our goal is simple: help you unplug from the noise and soak up the beauty, fun, and adventure of the Smokies.
We can’t wait to host you and hope you love Stay Wild as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We chose this spot because it strikes the perfect balance — tucked away in a peaceful ridge setting with stunning Smoky Mountain views, yet just minutes from all the fun attractions and entertainment in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. It’s close enough that you can be at top attractions, restaurants, and shopping in under 10 minutes — and it’s just 0.2 miles from the new WildSide adventure park — but far enough that you can unwind in total quiet at the end of the day.
We love how the neighborhood feels secluded and safe, without being isolated. It’s ideal for families, friends, and anyone who wants a relaxing mountain escape with easy access to adventure. Watching the sun dip behind the trees and mountains from the deck never gets old — it’s pure magic.
What makes this property unique
Our cabin stands out for its rare combination of space, luxury, and unbeatable location. Sitting on 2.45 private wooded acres, it offers peace and seclusion while still being close to all the action. With two full kitchens, two game rooms filled with activities like a pool table and shuffle board, and multiple living areas, it’s perfect for large families or groups who want room to spread out while still coming together under one roof.
Guests love the flexible layout with 4 bedrooms and plenty of entertainment options — including game rooms, smart TVs, cozy fireplaces, and multiple decks for soaking in the mountain air.
We’re just 0.2 miles from WildSide adventure park, making this one of the closest luxury cabins to Pigeon Forge’s newest attraction, while also being just minutes from Dollywood, The Island, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Set on a quiet ridge, the cabin offers sweeping mountain and wooded views. After a day of exploring, unwind in the hot tub, watch the sunset from the deck, or gather for game night in the loft or around the fire pit.
Every detail has been designed for comfort and convenience, from plush bedding and fully stocked kitchens to Wi-Fi and easy self-check-in. It’s the perfect mix of mountain escape and modern comfort, close to everything yet peacefully tucked away.
