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!

This is our 3rd year and looking forward to our 4th.
We have used Heartland Cabins for all 3 years we have been coming to Pigeon Forge. They have great customer service and beautiful cabins. We get great deals on activities and local attractions through the Gateway to Fun Pass that we get through the rental.

Enjoyable.
The cabin was easy to get to. It was very clean and well-stocked. We would have liked to have had WiFi, and a TV in the bedroom. Maybe install some sort of blind over the big window. It was very hard trying to take a nap during the day. All-in-all, m daughter and I enjoyed our stay..

Exceeded expectations in cleanliness and comfort
First time renting a cabin and I was a bit nervous about the cabin being as nice as the photos suggest! Definitely just as nice! Would love to visit the area again and experience another cabin or the same one!

Amazing Experience
My husband and I stayed at the cabin for our honeymoon. It was our first time in a cabin and it did not disappoint. The view from the cabin was beautiful. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. The cabin was close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We will definitely be staying there again.

Great Cabin!
We had a great stay at Bear Pause. Heartland Rentals did a great job at answering any questions we had. I loved that we didn’t have to check out at the office, and we could just leave straight from our cabin for our trip home. The view is beautiful and the cabin is VERY clean and has everything you need for your stay!
