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!

An absolutely perfect honeymoon getaway.
Bear Pause is so unique and full of mountainous charm. Gorgeous morning Smoky Mountain views from the loft bedroom and relaxing sunsets from the hot tub. This cabin had every amenity without compromising proximity to Gatlinburg and pigeon forge attractions.

Great to relax and unwind.
The view from the cabin's loft is awesome. The porch combo of swing and hot tub was fantastic. The only dislikes with the cabin were, the kitchen and living room are very tiny and there isn't a bathroom off the master bedroom. I am a Verizon customer and cell service was hit or miss, but since I was there to relax this was fine with me. We ended up extending our trip a day due to snow and the staff was very helpful at working with the cabins owner to accommodate this. We would stay in this cabin again.

Superb Stay in the middle of everything!
Renting is very easy with minimal hassle with Heartland Cabin Rentals! Check-in hours are highly convenient with super friendly staff. Staff called us the morning of to verify what time we anticipated getting in so they could have everything ready for us. Getting access to our cabin for our stay was highly convenient and easy. Keycode access made it super convenient to just check out via a phone call on the day of our departure, meaning we didn't have to stop by the office on our way out of town. Cabins were located literally halfway between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg (about 2 min drive to either city), making it super convenient for all of our day-trips. We didn't get to use the fun pass due to simply not having enough time for everything, but definitely would recommend taking advantage of it! Cabin was super clean when we checked in and all of the amenities (tv, hot tub, kitchen, fireplace) worked perfectly! Looking forward to our next visit!

Absolutely amazing
My husband and I have been together for 11 years and this was our first vacation/honeymoon and it was exceptional!! The cabin was exactly as pictured and very clean. The view from the bedroom was breathtaking!! This was exactly the peaceful and relaxing vacation that we needed! So much to do and see in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, although I do not recommend going the weekend of Rod Run if car shows are not your thing as it was almost impossible to get through Pigeon Forge. We definitely look forward to coming back next year!!

Nice Cabin in the woods.
The cabin was nice. The pictures online are accurate. The view was very nice. The cabin was clean and a nice place to stay. Couple small issues - there is no wifi in the cabin, so if you're not ready to unplug, you may need to make sure you have cell service. FWIW, we have Sprint and it was very poor in the cabin and the Pigeon Forge area in general. Of course, not the fault of the cabin, however, in today's connected world, I would have liked wifi as I am not someone who disconnects easily and that was not the purpose of the trip. Also, went to use the phone in the cabin to check out, and it did not seem to work.
So, besides the connection issues, it was a very nice place to stay.

Amazing!
My wife and I stayed at Bear Pause for our honeymoon and don’t feel like we could have picked a better place to stay. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The view from the bed is breathtaking! Thank you for a great stay! We will be back this fall!
