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!

Our experience staying at Bear Pause was very pleasurable and memorable.
The cabin was very clean and the location was good. We actually chose to get married in the cabin while we were there for the week. We had a very special little ceremony with just us and Pastor Rob on the back deck over looking the mountains.

Awesome cabin!
Perfect cabin for two. Everything worked perfectly. The cabin is in an area with other cabins but it still felt very private on the back deck with hot tub. I've stayed in several cabins in the Smokeys and I think this is the one I will return to.
Yes, I would recommend this vacation rental to a friend or family member!
