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!

Great cabin and eaisly access.
One of the finest cabin I have ever stay in in the mountains, which I been there many of times. Loved the cabin easily to get to, the road was wide and great parking area for my truck. The cabin was clean threw out and the cleaning person did and excellent job. I am retired military, it could have taken a white glove inspection and pass with flying colors. The only think we could see that the trees over the view of the mountains, is they be trim way back. Still good view but could be a lot better. Liked the door lock to enter. Also like the way Heartland posted all Fees on website site. Not $130 plus addition fees. Would gladly rent this cabin again.
Yes, I would recommend this vacation rental to a friend or family member!

Nice cabin in a great location.
The cabin was very nice. Disappointed that there was no Wi-Fi. Great location to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. It would have been nice to know that we had a free pass to Hatfield & McCoy Dinner and the Stampede. We prebooked these not knowing we had one free seat at each event. We didn't find that out until we arrived to get the key to the cabin. This information should be given earlier.

good location and enjoyable stay
the cabin was very clean and location was ideal as it's between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. I recommend taking advantage of the gateway to fun pass which can save money if you plan to do some of the activities included with the package
