About Carlos and Karolina
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 27 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”.
Carlos and Karolina purchased this Cabin in 2016
Why Carlos and Karolina chose Sevierville
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 Cabin 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.
