Great place and great location!

Great location, super cute condo only a couple minute walk to the main strip in Gatlinburg. The condo was great, very clean, nicely decorated, equipped with everything you need and very quiet. Only recommendation for the future would be to consider a dishwasher and maybe a ceiling fan for the bedroom. Overall it was perfect, really enjoyed our stay!!

A pleasant condo

My husband, I and our 10-year-old daughter spent 5 nights in August this year. The room is pretty neat, and also very convenient to everything, including restaurants, fun activities in the town and the mountain, of course. Overall, our stay was very pleasant.

Wonderful place to stay!

We spent 3 nights here and it was amazing! Everything from communication with the owner to the unit itself could not have been better. Unit was super clean, very spacious, and just downright cozy! It is in close proximity to the main drag which was awesome for us. I highly recommend staying here!

This little spot was perfect for the hubby and I. No bells and whistles, just the “bear” necessities we needed for a nice weekend away. Convenient location within walking distance to all the major attractions. Definitely enjoyed our stay.

Bear Pause Retreat

We stayed for a year late 30th anniversary trip. Apartment was in a great location to walk to anything in downtown. Easy access on the back road so it was convenient to going to other places also. Nice accommodations and amazing host who checked in with us during our stay! Would definitely book again with them!

Updates needed

The property was clean, well appointed and easy to access. However, we found the bed to be uncomfortable, carpet in need of replacement along with the spigot in the shower which was loose.
