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!

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bear Pause. We were there attending the Ripken Experience with our son. The location was perfect. Close to everything we needed or wanted to do. It was very clean and roomy for our family of six. Owners were very responsive to our questions. We even had a bear sighting. we would definitely stay here again.

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

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.

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.

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