Great place for a group stay
We were 7 book club women wanting a long weekend in the Smokies, and this cabin fit the bill exactly. We each had a separate bedroom, and lots of common area to chat in groups, or play a game at the big dining room table.Beautiful porches with chairs. Close enough to Pigeon Forge to go out to dinner, or just hunker down in the quiet. Bring an SUV for the steep drive. Not undriveable like some cabins, but a challenge unless you're used to it.Kitchen clean and fully stocked with pans, etc. Fridge already had ice made! Also an extra fridge on one of the floors.And everything worked! (Not usually the case with rental cabins).

Great property but a lot to stairs
This is a beautiful property and beautiful location. Although the description did talk about the different levels, the stairs did become tedious for older adults. I was also surprised that there was no handicap access into the home (ramp) or entry on ground level but only steep stairs at entrance. Cleanliness was good but quite a bit of dust. Master shower is somewhat musty smelling. We made wonderful memories and I would recommend the property but not with anybody that struggles with stairs.

Mountain Getaway
We loved this property- truly. The views are amazing. It's about a 24ish minute drive to town with the roads. Bears right outside multiple times a day!!! Could not get over how close they were. We hosted a dual-family here for an elopement wedding in the smokies. Everything you could need is near the cabin. So much to do we didn't even have enough time to do it all. Things we wish were different: we wish the drive up wasn't so scary and intimidating (but believe me it's so worth it!), we thought the floors were extremely dirty, the kitchen was very sticky - we could not find a broom or mop for us to change this ourselves so we would like to see some cleaning items in the house, we also could have used more towels/wash rags as there wasn't enough for everyone to use for multiple days, there was 17 of us. Also if you have any issues with stairs this might not be the best for you. We all got along just fine with the stairs and it is worth it for the top balcony view. We would absolutely stay here again!

The property is as promised. Clean and suitable for up to 20. We had 13 and were comfortable. The vista is jaw dropping. A must see. Off the back decks mountains as far as u can see. Community pool offers similar experience. You WILL see blank bears. They frequent grounds scavenging. We saw at least two different sets. It was one of the more picturesque vacations we have had

Spectacular Stay
We just came home from one amazing vacation! We had a family rendezvous that consisted of relatives from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Colorado, Kentucky and California. The photos for "Amazing Views" appear almost too good to be true, but they are the real thing. While I would not have minded staying in the cabin and soaking up the views, the young adults in our group wanted to check out the area's attractions. We went ziplining, rafting, go-carting and hiking. We enjoyed Dolly's Stampede dinner show and a comedy show. The cabin was very clean and the perfect layout to accommodate us all. The owners responded to our every question and need. We will definitely be back to enjoy the fall colors!

Mountain getaway
We had a wonderful Smokey Mountain getaway, and this cabin served as the perfect place for our family to surprise my mom for her 70th birthday. We loved sitting on the balconies and taking in the views on every level. The amenities (hot tub, entertainment room, neighborhood pool) kept our kids entertained so we adults could relax. There was enough space for our large family, and everyone was pleased (which is no easy feat! Haha). Karolina and Carlos were very responsive and helpful with regular communications before, during, and after our stay. We would come back again and do it all over! Thank you for giving my mom (and us) a wonderful mountain getaway! We loved it!

There was more than enough space for our gathering, nothing but fun, laughter, food and plenty of memories to last a lifetime. Other than the power going out for four (4) hours, we still laughed it off and when the lights came back on…you’d thought we won the lottery. On the last night of our trip, it snowed and that was the highlight for some of us. Thanks again

Overall, my family and I had a great stay!
The cabin had a nicely paved road to a beautiful view and plenty of parking. It accomdated me, my immediate family and their kids just fine. There was coffee, dish detergent and pods, plenty of towels (shower towels and hot tub towels) and pelnty of pots, pans, and cooking utensils. There were even spices! All the games worked, and we enjoyed them all. And the view was amazing. The only downfalls were a lot of the surfaces were very dusty, quite a few light bulbs were out in various rooms like bathrooms and bedrooms, and we did find miscellaneous trash. Minor things, and was not a detriment to our stay.

Family Christmas Vacation
The property was perfect for our large group of 14 plus a pup! Everyone had their own space for sleeping and bathrooms. There was a lot to do at the cabin with a pool table, air hockey, arcade games, foosball and board games/books. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of seating for everyone to eat together! The house was clean and the owners responded immediately to all of our questions! They were very generous with supplying toiletries and kitchen needs and even had coffee and chocolates waiting for us on arrival! I definitely recommend renting from these owners! The drive up the mountain is windy and long but the views at the top are worth it! We ventured into town 3 out of our 5 days but the cabin had so much space and so much to do that it was perfect for spending quality time as a family and just hanging out together! Thank you for providing a wonderful house for us to make lasting memories!

Early Christmas
My wife and I wanted to take my family to the mountains for Christmas. This is something my mom and dad have wanted to do for a long time. So we finally did it. Our daughter found this mountain cabin on Vrbo and it looked great. We reserved the house several months in advance and eagerly waited for our time to go to the mountains. When we finally arrived to the house it far exceeded what we had seen on line. The house was huge extremely clean and a fantastic view! Both of my parents could not stop talking about the house. The family room the game room the media room the kitchen. They just keep going on and on. Each floor had access to a wonderful deck with fantastic views. We truly enjoyed our stay and couldn’t ask for a better host. I had a couple of questions before we arrived and received quick answers each time. Thanks for making my families Christmas one of the most memorable ever.

About the host

Hosted by Carlos and Karolina

Host profile image
Hello there,
We are Carlos and Karolina Galvez, owners of Mountain Pause Retreat. I am from Peru and my wife is from Switzerland. We met on a Caribbean cruise, married in Alaska and settled in Miami Florida. Over the last 30 years we have been blessed with 3 children, all grown up now, and also with the opportunity to travel all over the world, including the Peruvian Andes and the Swiss Alps. Although we love the sea where we met, we both have a special place in our hearts for our mountains and what they represent. So when we first visited the Smoky Mountains we fell in love with the area as we saw them as a memory of each other’s own culture. It was our dream to one day own a Cabin here as a gathering place for our growing family and friends, encouraging them to leave the hustle and bustle of our busy city lives behind and take a “Pause” in our gorgeous “Mountain Pause Retreat”.

Why they chose this property

Mountain Pause Retreat is one of the most beautiful cabins in the Smoky Mountains. The views are spectacular. We simply love its spacious rooms, the Resort, the facilities, the overall area, close enough to enjoy the attractions of the main towns nearby but far enough to relax and enjoy the wilderness and serene views of the Great Smoky Mountains. We are enjoying it to the fullest with our family and friends and when not in town, we want to share the same experience with you. We hope you enjoy our Cabin and take home a memory that will last for years to come.

What makes this property unique

It is an easy drive on the newly paved road and access from East or West US 321. It is close enough to all the action in Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Gatlinburg but far enough to enjoy the peacefulness, lots of fresh mountain air and surrounding wilderness. It's bright rooms lighten the mood and are a perfect recipe to relax and recharge. The back entry access to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park as well as Cades Cove is just minutes away. There are plenty of choices for grocery shopping along the way or simply have them ordered and ready for you upon your arrival.
