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!

Cabin was nice

Beautiful cabin and wonderful view. Definitely recommend. I think the only improvements would be the addition of Wi-Fi, since I personally struggled to return work emails. That being said, it was still gorgeous and we will definitely be returning. Thank you!

My husband and I loved our stay at Bear Pause. We had stayed in the same area 3 years ago for our wedding honeymoon and have been wanting to go back for our anniversary. We love the location of the cabin, as it is centrally located for things to do in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The cabin was absolutely beautiful with an amazing view. It was perfect for just the two of us. We will definitely be back. Heartland Rentals has been amazing both time we have stayed through them and I highly recommend them!!!

Our original reservations on another cabin stay were cancelled due to forest fire. Heartland rentals were awesome in helping us find another cabin to stay in.
Brian - stayed March, 2022
We enjoyed our stay. Conveniently located close to everything. Wish the view was a little better but it was pretty good. Wish the bathroom and bedroom were on the same level. Other than that, it was great

We have been coming down to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg for 40 years and the Bear Pause cabin was one of the best. The views were beautiful and the cabin was fantastic. The staff at heartland made this experience very enjoyable. One improvement would be to add WiFi. A lot of people work from home and that addition would make this a 10 star cabin. We will definitely be coming back.

Overall very clean. Staff in the phone was welcoming and helpful whether it was ore-visit, during, or at check-out.
Our only feedback would be to provide a toilet plunger for bathrooms and a sponge/brillow pad to help keep the kitchenware clean during the stay.

We enjoyed the peace and quiet. Everything was as we expected it to be. We will return for another stay at the cabins
