The cabin is overall cozy and nice, but it is an older cabin, the kitchen is outdated but functional. They had a lot of hosting dishes and small appliances which we appreciated. However the drive up this mountain is steep, I wouldn't recommend driving up on snowy months, however I can imagine the views would be beautiful. My one issue would be to check the safely of this cabin as it is not child friendly, the balcony on the third floor needs to be redone bc some of the post are rotted thru and it's very dangerous for little children. Also the spacing on the old style deck is too open for comfort. And with 4 levels and lots of stairs this type of cabin is better for teens/young adults. Host were very helpful.

Our family had an amazing stay! The views are truly breathtaking. We saw bears several times over the weekend! The nearby pool was lovely and was a great viewpoint as well. The game room was so fun and had enough activities that our whole family could be together. The hot tub was great, and the house was stocked with every utensil and gadget you might need. Plenty of space here for a huge family! The location is close enough to attractions but even just enjoying the movie room in the cabin is a great family event.

Family Vacation

What a great space for our family vacation! We had ages 8-73 with something for everyone. We had family game night, competitive games in the great game room, the kids loved the pool but most of all we enjoyed the beautiful views. We hiked the incredible mountains of the Smokies and fell in love with the scenery. I hope to come back for another family trip.Our hosts were available for anything we needed. Thank you!

Our family stays in Gatlinburg every fall, and this cabin had the best views we have ever seen! The fall colors were amazing. We had a 93 year old down to an 18 month old staying. The main floor bedroom was convenient for the 93 year old. The kitchen was well-stocked. The dining area had room for all of us to eat and play games. The family room had seating for 7. The upper level bedroom was amazing! The movie room is upstairs too. On the first lower level is the game room which was a lot of fun. There is a powder room as well as queen bedrooms that share a bath. The lowest level has four king bedrooms and each has a shared bath. The hot tub is also on this level. Parking was convenient and not difficult like so many places we have stayed. The roads up to the cabin are in very good shape and safe to drive as well.There was a winter storm warning our last night there, and the owners kept us up to date on road conditions. We appreciated their help! They were lovely to work with and very responsive. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!

Amazing cabin, perfect for large groups!

We and our guests absolutely loved this cabin. It is thoughtfully arranged and was the perfect get away for our wedding week. The views were absolutely incredible, I could have sat on the deck forever! Carlos and Karolina were very friendly, helpful, and responsive. The mountain roads were super intimidating at first, but we all got used to it. It was a hair further from town then we had hoped, but well worth the drive and we would definitely stay again.

Great Host to work with

It was Amazing from start to finish! The cabin description was exactly the way it was described. This has been one of the best experiences we’ve had while staying in pigeon Forge and Sevierville area, the cabin was fully stocked with all amenities. Karolina & Carlos were great host, the communication was refreshing as in all questions were answered in a timely manner. I loved that a notebook was provided with all instructions on the cabin from check in to check out requirements. We defiantly will be returning to this cabin for all of our big group events.

About the host

Hosted by Carlos and Karolina

Host profile image
Hello and welcome!
We are Carlos and Karolina Galvez, proud owners of Mountain Pause Retreat. Our story is a bit of a world tour: I am originally from Peru, Karolina is from Switzerland, and we first met on a Caribbean cruise. We later married in Alaska and eventually put down roots in Miami, Florida. Over the past 30 years, we’ve been blessed with three wonderful children—now grown—and the opportunity to travel across the globe, from the Peruvian Andes to the Swiss Alps.

Although we love the ocean (after all, that’s where our story began), the mountains have always held a special place in our hearts. When we first visited the Smoky Mountains, something clicked. Their quiet beauty and gentle ridgelines reminded each of us of home—of the landscapes that shaped our childhoods and our cultures.

From that moment, we dreamed of owning a cabin here. A place where our family and friends could gather, slow down, reconnect, and escape the demands of busy city life. That dream became Mountain Pause Retreat—a peaceful haven we are grateful to share with guests from around the world.

We hope that during your stay, you too can relax, unwind, and take a meaningful “pause” in this beautiful mountain setting.

Warmly,
Carlos & Karolina

Why they chose this property

Mountain Pause Retreat is truly one of the most beautiful cabins in the Smoky Mountains, and its views are nothing short of breathtaking. We fell in love with its spacious rooms, the wonderful resort amenities, and its perfect location—close enough to enjoy all the attractions of the nearby towns, yet far enough to fully relax, unwind, and take in the peaceful wilderness and serene beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains.

We treasure every moment we spend here with our family and friends, and when we’re not in town, we love being able to share this special place with guests from around the world. Our hope is that you experience the same joy, comfort, and connection that we do, and that your stay creates memories you will carry with you for years to come.

Welcome to Mountain Pause Retreat. We’re honored to host you.

What makes this property unique

Getting here is simple and stress-free, with an easy drive along the newly paved road and convenient access from either direction on US-321. The cabin is perfectly situated—close enough to enjoy all the action in Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and Gatlinburg, yet far enough to soak in the peacefulness, fresh mountain air, and surrounding wilderness.

The bright, welcoming rooms lift the spirit and create the perfect atmosphere to relax, recharge, and truly unwind. The back-entrance access to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park—and to beautiful Cades Cove—is just minutes away, making outdoor adventures incredibly convenient.

You’ll also find plenty of grocery options along the way, or you can simply place an order in advance and have everything ready upon your arrival.
