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!

Stunning views and beautiful cabin
The cabin is beautifully decorated and well equipped with all necessities. The views are stunning and we enjoyed sitting on the big porch. The hot tub was extra special and we used it every morning and night. Overall, very satisfied and looking forward to returning.

Relaxing Anniversary Getaway
My husband and I stayed in Bear Pause for our one year anniversary. The views from the cabin were gorgeous! I loved that it was a cozy little cabin that felt like home. It was conveniently located right between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, so it was easy to access either place. Our favorite part of the cabin was the screened in back porch with the hot tub. We sat in it every night before bed just to unwind from the day. The only part that could be improved upon was the bed. It wasn't very comfortable and it squeaked every time you would roll over during the night.
The buy one get one free attraction tickets were so nice to have! The Hatfield and McCoy show is a must see. We also used it to go white water rafting and putt putt. Overall, we loved the stay and would definitely stay again!

Wonderful and peaceful Experience
We stayed in Bear Pause while celebrating our 10 year anniversary. Everything was perfect and just like it was described. The view was amazing and we loved waking up to the mountain view. This place is far enough out of the city to make it peaceful but close enough to head out for adventures and find places to eat and hang out. We can't wait to come back!

Perfectly relaxing
We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was perfect. Relaxing and away from people at the same time being close to town for a nice dinner or catching a show. We didn't end up taking advantage of the tickets since we mostly wanted to stay home away from home, but whenever we come back again (because there will be a return visit) we probably would go zip lining or catch a show. The only thing I will say about Bear Pause is that if you're not an early riser, the sun will light up the cabin around 7 am so you might want to choose a cabin facing a different direction. The knives could use a sharpen as well. Overall BEST experience with the cabin and every Heartland representative we dealt with was awesome! Highly recommend!!

Favorite cabin yet.
The cabin was nice and cozy with and incredible view. First cabin I've stayed in where the bed wasn't in an enclosed room and I loved it. The company was amazing and so were the free admissions for several attractions for each night you stayed. It's also between galinburg and pigeon forge so whichever place you wanted to go, you could.
