Nice home & Great location

It's a great location right off of Wears Valley Road near the main parkway. The home was clean and had all amenities needed. We loved the pool table, arcade game, and hot tub. The host is friendly and quick to respond. Great place to stay.

Smokey Mountain Get Away

Loved the location, cute house, well stocked kitchen, charming bear decor. Cleaning service needs to be reviewed, washer/dryer needs a bigger area & the A/C isn't quite cool enough.

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 House

It was decorated beautifully for Christmas inside and out! We love the 3 separate floors for each set of families with 3 bathrooms. The location was fantastic for being close to downtown and attractions. This house has plenty of room for 3 cars to park. This is the second year in a row we have used this house for our Christmas vacation.

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.

A Wonderful Stay at Bear Pause

The cabin was clean and cozy and beautiful. It had 4 nice bedrooms and it was comfortable and roomy for all of us- 6 adults, a 9-month old and a 19-month old. Everything worked well. Communications with the owners was prompt and seamless. We enjoyed our stay and have zero negative opinions about the stay at Bear Pause, all was fantastic.

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.

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.
