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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in the Bear Pause cabin. It was situated just outside of Pigeon Forge on the south side. It was a very quiet cabin with a spectacular view. The cabin was well equipped and had all the necessary options. The hot tub was a huge hit for relaxing after long days of visiting the various sites around the area. Cabin is perfect for a romantic getaway. Comfortable and nice.

We absolutely love Heartland Cabin Rentals. We have stayed with them twice and have not been disappointed. We recently stayed at Bear Pause for our honeymoon. It was a quiet cabin with plenty of room and gorgeous mountain views. Especially in the morning as the sun is rising! I would recommend Heartland to anyone staying in the Smokies! We love the Xplorie pass also, that provides you one complimentary ticket to a great list of attractions in the area for every day of your stay! We wouldn't stay with anyone else! Thank you Heartland Cabin Rentals for all the hardworking and great hospitality! Until we visit again, Great Smoky Mountains!

We stayed at Bear Pause. The cabin was pretty much just as it said online. The location was convenient. We enjoyed our stay! The only complaint we have is with the pull out couch mattress. My daughter slept on it. It was uncomfortable. We kind of expected that anyway since most pull outs are not great for sleeping. That room would have been better if it had a day bed with a good mattress. Other than that, everything was great!

Clean, very well maintained, great staff, and a million dollar view.

Needs Wifi and some real lamps.

Cabin was very nice for the most part. We had to call the office for the tub that barely drained and the bathroom sink. Excellent response…plumber was there the next morning and fixed the problem. Overall it was a nice visit.
