Bear Pause | A Smoky Mountain Escape Made for Two
Sometimes the most meaningful thing you can do is simply stop. Breathe. Take it all in. That's the whole idea behind Bear Pause — a cozy one-bedroom cabin tucked between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge where panoramic mountain views, crisp clean air, and total tranquility are waiting for you from the moment you arrive.
Wake up to sweeping views of the Smoky Mountains rolling out before you like a painting that changes with every season. Whether it's the golden burst of fall color, the soft green of a summer morning, or a winter sky dusted with stars so bright you'll lose count — Bear Pause delivers the kind of scenery that makes you forget your phone exists.
Spend your days however you please, then come home to unwind the right way. Ease into the outdoor hot tub on the deck and let the mountain air wrap around you while the sun dips below the ridgeline. Sway on the porch swing and listen to nothing but the sounds of the forest. When the evening calls you inside, the gas fireplace sets the perfect mood in the cozy living room — Satellite TV ready if you want it, but honestly, the view from the screened porch might be all the entertainment you need.
The fully equipped kitchen means you can cook in if the mood strikes, and with Dollywood just 6 miles away and the heart of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg both within easy reach, everything the Smokies has to offer is right at your fingertips whenever you're ready.
With 129 five-star reviews and guests who return again and again, Bear Pause isn't just a great cabin — it's the one you'll find yourself thinking about long after you've headed home.

Bear Pause Cabin was amazing! The views were breathtaking-even better than we imagined. Everything was exactly as shown online, and the cabin itself was spotless. It was clear that the hosts take great pride in maintaining their property. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay- highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with breathtaking scenery!

Cozy Cabin in the Mountains
My boyfriend and I stayed in this cabin for our one year anniversary, and we absolutely loved it! We hardly ever wanted to leave the cabin because it was so cozy and comfortable. The view was exactly how it is seen in the pictures shown, and it was beautiful to wake up to. Of course, like with most cabins, there were other cabins all around, but we never once had any complaints about noise. It was a very quiet environment. We loved our stay, and we will definitely be back in contact with Heartland Cabin Rentals next time we want to visit Pigeon Forge!

Fantastic!
Cabin was perfect. We loved the loft and views. It seemed so private and quiet. Our 16 yr grandson had a good time with the old folks, made use of the hot tub and didn't complain about going to the Hatfield/Mccoys which was a blast. We hiked and explored the Smokies, zip lined, tree top hiked and welcomed our coming back to Bear Pause every night. It was super clean, furnished so cute and gets an A++++++ all around. Thank you so much.

Excellent
We had a wonderful time. The cabin had everything we needed and we loved it! This is our first cabin rental and definitely will want to book this cabin again. The staff was very helpful, we had a late arrival, they had our paperwork ready and we found the cabin at night with no problems.
Thanks for everything,

A wonderful experience & perfect mountain getaway!
Our stay at Bear Pause was a wonderful experience! From start to finish, it was an enjoyable process. Check in was incredibly easy, and we even got to check in early which was great! Our cabin was in the perfect location, minutes from both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg - yet secluded in the quiet woods. Wonderful view, and a cozy, clean cabin that was perfect in every way. We will be returning as soon as possible!

Lovely cabin
Highly enjoyed our stay at bear pause. Amazing views in the morning and the jacuzzi was an excellent end to the day. Oh, and add satellite tv to guest room. It only accommodates x box so when we were in for the night my son would sneak to the living room to watch tv, waking us up in the studio upstairs. It's all minor stuff

I enjoyed the Country Tonite Music Show attraction most.

A fun getaway that provided some much needed relaxation!
• Location was great! Central to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
• Tub was very slow to drain, but shower had good water pressure.
• Could use additional lighting. Not a huge deal! We made do with the lamps provided.
• We appreciated access to the washer and dryer.
Thank you for a wonderful trip to the Smokies!
