About this property

Charming Bear Pause is close to everything and offers unlimited parking

This hidden gem is located walking distance to Pigeon Forge, but away from all the commotion. Nested up on a little hill, this cabin is perfect for those that want to be close to the entertainment and fun but want to take a "Bear Pause" at the end of the day.

Bear Pause is a two-bedroom, two bath cabin that has a KING size bed in each room and the living room has a queen-size pull-out couch. You can make your way to the porch through a large sliding glass door that offers views overlooking the forest. This home is very well equipped, secluded and is a relaxing place to stay that is very close to everything Pigeon Forge has to offer.

We love this property. You feel like you’re in the woods, but you’re actually very close to town which is great because I’m a city girl love the surrounding area and took advantage of tons of hiking.

Great stay

Property was exceptionally clean and quiet, tucked back in off the main road with lots of trees surrounding it but very close and convenient to the strip in Pigeon Forge. The pictures without leaves on the trees don’t do it any justice, it’s a really nice place that we will rent again.

Amazing!

This is such a beautiful home in such a great location! We slept 5 comfortably and the beds are so comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better location. It was only a few minutes away from the strip. This home was also the cleanest home we have ever stayed at on vacation!Thank you so much!!

The property was great. The proximity to Pigeon was on target. We could be in the strip in less than 3 minutes. The cabin was clean and beautifully decorated. If we have another small group, we will definitely use this property again!!

Quiet and clean

The house was tucked away off the Main Street of Pigeon Forge. It was convenient to everything and right at the start of the Smoky Mountains. The driveway is steep and you had to be careful walking down. We brought our dog so walking down to get to the Connor Drive to walk her was slow but fine.

Cute place, close to what you might want.

Matched its description well. The house was very clean and comfortable. The driveway was steep and I am glad I read the reviews and rented an SUV. It was only minutes to food places and Dollywood. The only thing that would have been nice is if it had coffee, I understood that it wouldn't be provided so make sure to bring your own!

Pigeon Forge - the great escape

This property was exactly what we needed for a 5 day stay: clean and comfortable. The only thing that would make this vacation home better would be a dishwasher. I think it, like the washer/dryer is something that people look for over an extended period of time. Would not stop me from renting again however if I couldn't find something comparable.

Someone living in tool shed

Trailer was clean with convenient location. Driveway needs to be packed as a little steep and can slide. There is a small tool shed with someone living in it right beside property which is kind of weird and they should let you know ahead of time. Sleeper sofa was broken and we were informed late evening of arrival and were offered a blow up mattress.

We had a wonderful stay at Bear Pause. We visited Dollywood and the cabin was very conveniently located near the parks! The cabin was very clean, cozy, and cute! Previous reviews had me worried about the driveway, but it was perfectly easy to get up and we had no issues. It is so close to everything, but was so quiet and relaxing. It is well stocked and check in/out was easy and the directions from the host were clear and simple! We had a great stay and will definitely try to reserve again for our next visit!

About the host

Host profile image
We have loved coming to the Smokey Mountains and Pigeon Forge since we were little. Having a cabin so close to the main "Strip" in Pigeon Forge was our dream. We enjoy the fun atmosphere of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, but need a place to relax and chill. This cabin offers exactly that. We are happy to share it with our guests when we are not there. Enjoy!

Why they chose this property

This property is so unique- it is surrounded by trees and and undeveloped nature, yet, it is walking distance to all of the entertainment. You will hardly find combination of best of both world.

What makes this property unique

Trolley stop is a minute walk from the cabin and it will take you few minutes to walk to the entertainment "strip" of Pigeon Forge. All that, while staying in a cabin surrounded by trees, and "wilderness"
