Bear Pause is a lovely home in a great location. We had a wonderful trip and it was so nice to come back to the cozy cabin after a long day of fun. The kids adored the arcade, and we were able to make complete meals in the stocked kitchen. We highly recommend a stay at Bear Pause if you’re going to be in the area!

Excellent Property

We loved our stay at Bear Pause -- the house was clean and comfortable and the views were great. We quickly learned that 2 full days in Pidgeon Forge was not enough but made the most e of the time we had. We would definitely stay at Bear Pause again. Thank you for such a great house!

The house is lovely and had plenty of room for the 9 of us to be comfortable and not on top of each other. Although it rained all weekend we did get some breaks in the weather to enjoy Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.

Incredible long weekend at a beautiful place!

We could not have asked for a better experience!! This place was incredibly clean, with little extras in place to make our stay as if we were in our own home! The arcade game, pool table, outdoor and indoor fireplaces and hot tub had us staying put (it rained, but we hardly noticed)! And to top it off, our daughter got engaged!!! Perfect!!! Thank you, Bear’s Pause!!!

Great Weekend Getaway

Our group had such a relaxing stay at Bear Pause after a long overnight hike! Lots of space for our group of 4 couples, and all the bedrooms were a good size. We were also able to do a good amount of cooking in the kitchen. We loved having the hot tub, pool table, and games, and got excellent use of the porches as well! We didn’t feel the need to leave, but the proximity to Pigeon Forge and 2 grocery stores less than 10 minutes away made it very easy to get around. We had one couple in our group who said their room had a large amount of hair in one spot which they found strange, but we can’t think of another thing we’d change! I hope I have an opportunity to stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bear Pause. We were there attending the Ripken Experience with our son. The location was perfect. Close to everything we needed or wanted to do. It was very clean and roomy for our family of six. Owners were very responsive to our questions. We even had a bear sighting. we would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful place

The house was clean and so comfortable. After a hectic day with a 2 year old running around Pigeon Forge, it was a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. It was minutes away from anything we wanted to do, and the Bear theme was present throughout the house, which was also fun with a young child. Would definitely stay there again
