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!

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!

This was an a nice place for my family of 9. The master on the 3rd floor gave us some nice separation from the kids playing on the bottom floor.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a vacation home that was large enough for our family to use. The open main floor was a plus for large families and the bedrooms are set up for privacy. It is also perfect for multiple couples.

What makes this property unique

The location is very private, but it’s close to all the attractions in the area.
