Oct 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had the most AMAZING stay at Bear Pause! The cabin is super close to everything literally just 4 minutes off the strip in Pigeon Forge. With that being said it was so secluded and private. Even with cabins around it we felt off on our own. The cabin is beautiful. Very well maintained and super clean. There were so many extras we did not even expect. Spices, k-cups, tons of extra blankets. The hot tub was incredibly clean and so much fun to enjoy. We had one little mishap when we checked in with one of the bedroom doors being locked. I reached out to the owners via text and even though they were enjoying their vacation they took time to help us out. They were so sweet and very helpful. We will 100% return to this cabin and have already recommended it to friends. The kids enjoyed the arcade game and pool table, WIFI is strong. Do not sleep on the fire pit outside. We loved having early morning coffee with it on. This was an incredible trip and the cabin was a massive part of it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dc279f01-789a-4752-9b30-89fe7e9ac9de-1760734991051.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/726cec73-a915-4592-a342-f41426cd2197-1760734988131.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amanda M.

Sep 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Caroline T. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dean K. Aug 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great getaway place for our family! This was our best VRBO place yet (and we have stayed in several). We have a family of 6, so were needing a place with 5 comfortable beds. The only downside was the futon was not terribly comfortable (according to the kids who slept on it), but better than most sofa beds. But still workable. The house was very clean and had everything you would expect in a fully furnished home. I was happy to see enough linens for the whole family (places in the past never seemed to stock enough linens for a family of 6), and the tvs were new and very nice for viewing. We liked relaxing with a movie or watching something on Hulu in the evenings, and were glad to have great quality tvs that were easy to operate. Also, PLENTY of hot water!! Our kiddos all enjoyed the arcade games, and we loved having a hot tub to relax in as well. The house is very private, but close to a grocery store which was great as we cooked most meals to eat in. Close to all kinds of Pigeon Forge attractions, and not too far from the Smokeys or other attractions in Gatlinburg. We were very pleased with the stay, but the best part by far was the excellent communication provided by the hosts. There were a few small things we had questions about, and I always got answers quickly. We would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to visit the Smokey Mountain area. We would definitely stay here again if we returned in the future. ##### Dean K. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy P.
