The host and amenities were awesome. The trash situation is untenable. The dumpster our host told us to use for overflow was packed too so we ended up having to leave two bags on the outside box BUT I believe this could be fixed by a regular garbage pick up for the neighborhood.

Really nice place to stay. Really close to all attractions but secluded enough to make you feel alone. Owners were very nice and easy to get in touch with. They decorated for Christmas which made it feel like home. Pool table, game machine and hot tub so your never board. We were very happy and this home is definitely on our list!

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.

I would highly recommend Bear Paws. The house is wonderful. It has three floors. There was eight of us, but the house is so roomy you aren’t cramped up. The grandchildren loved the hot tub and all of the downstairs items to play with. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Bear Pause was the perfect cabin for our family! It’s just off the main road on a quiet dead end by the woods. It was peaceful and private without steep drives or being too far from town.The cabin itself was cozy and comfortable for our group of six. While the gathering areas were a bit smaller than they appeared in photos, it worked just fine for us. We especially loved spending time in the basement playing pool and the arcade game. The multiple decks were a great for privacy and enjoying your morning coffee.It was too hot to use the hot tub this trip, but we’ll look forward to it next time! The cabin was also very family-friendly. We greatly appreciated the pack n play for my 20 month old so we didn't have to bring one. We did bring our own baby gate because there's no door to the upstairs staircase and we wanted to keep her from climbing up the stairs.We also recommend bringing coffee or K Cups (only decaf was provided), travel blackout curtains (helpful for naps and sleeping in), and extra trash bags. The only trash bags there were those already in the bins when we arrived.Everything in the cabin worked as expected (the AC was wonderful during the heat!), and check-in was smooth. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to others looking for a cozy mountain getaway close to town.

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
