About the host
Hosted by Carlos and Karolina
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.
