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!

Perfect cabin for two.
What great little cabin!
It was exactly what we were looking for. Far enough out of town yet close enough to make a quick jaunt into Pigeon Forge. Beautiful view of the Smokies. We would definitely stay there again.

A much needed getaway vacay!
We stayed for 5 nights in this wonderful cabin. I was perfect for 2 people. The view from the bedroom is amazing. The view from the main floor is alright. The trees could be cut back for a better view. I would advise coming to this cabin for the first time during the day. We arrived in the middle of the night and could hardly see the road that goes up the group of cabins. If you are booking this cabin during the winter months would need 4x4 and poss chains. As the road is pretty steep. It is a quiet area and the hot tub is perfect for 2 people. Its meant for 5 actually. It was much needed after a whole day of hiking.

Beautiful Cabin
My husband and I loved this cabin. Beautiful view. Our only complaint is the bed and bedding. The bed was un comfortable and the sheets rather scratchy! We didn’t look forward to crawling in the bed every night due to that! Also, no coffee or even filters supplied so be mindful of that!
Overall, the customer service was great and the cabin is gorgeous and close to all of the action!

Cute Cabin
Cute cabin, very clean. Well stocked. The window was really pretty in the loft/bedroom area. My boyfriend & I really enjoyed it. Would probably bring our own grill next time though as the grill provided is out in the rain and it rained most of the time we were there. Still a great cabin though in a nice area. Same distance to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge
