Call of the Wild

Overview

Call of the Wild | A One-of-a-Kind Mountain Retreat in the Smokies

There are cabins, and then there's Call of the Wild. Perched at the mountaintop on a private wooded lot between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, this authentically decorated two-bedroom log cabin is unlike anything you've stayed in before. Inspired by the beauty of the mountains and Native American artistry, every room tells a story — and every detail has been crafted with intention, right down to the locally handmade wood furniture and the rock shower etched with a hand-carved glass moose.

Step outside and breathe it in. The quiet, dead-end road invites evening strolls through the trees, where seasonal mountain views and the chance to spot local wildlife — including the occasional black bear — make every moment feel like an adventure. When the sun goes down, gather around the outdoor fire pit with its log benches and charcoal grill for an evening under the stars that you won't soon forget.

The Bear Room — the light-filled living area with soaring cathedral ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and a gas fireplace — sets the tone the moment you walk through the door. The fully equipped kitchen opens to a screened deck where the hot tub awaits, and an open-air deck furnished with handcrafted wooden pieces is the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee while the mountains wake up around you.

The Moose Room — the romantic master suite — is a sanctuary unto itself. A handmade king log bed anchors the space, while the in-room jacuzzi tub, electric fireplace, and a stunning walk-in rock shower with a gorgeous glass moose etching and unique stone pedestal vanity make this bathroom feel more like a spa than anything else. Guests consistently rave about it — and once you see it, you'll understand why.

Head upstairs to the loft for a game of pool, then step out onto the upper deck with seating for four and let the treetops do the talking. The Wolf Room — the second bedroom with its sloping ceiling and windows nestled high in the canopy — has its own full bath and handmade king log bed, making it a cozy retreat within a retreat.

With 125 five-star reviews and guests returning for honeymoons, anniversaries, and family getaways alike, Call of the Wild delivers the kind of Smoky Mountain experience that stays with you long after you've headed home.
