Bear Pause

As always it was a good experience staying at a Parkside Cabin. The check-in and check-out process was very simple. The staff as always was quick to answer questions and resolve any issues that arose. The cabin could have been cleaned better. It could also use some regular maintenance. None of the channels on the living room TV would come in, but we figured out how to get them to come in. We didn't see any bears while we there. However a bear did try to get into my truck, which was locked and had nothing in it, but he did fall through my soft trifold tonneau cover destroying it. We would recommend Parkside Cabin Rentals to anyone staying in The Smokies.

Loved the cabin and the hottub was so hot and felt so good on our back

The shower curtain needs cleaned replaced. Porches need re done. Overall good.

Cabin needed better cleaning. Other than that everything was good.

No gas for fireplace first 5 days we were there. Hot water went out twice, but anytime I called for anything ya’ll were there quickly. We love this cabin. It is our second time in Bear Pause. We will not hesitate to stay there again. We have used Parkside Cabins several times and we have always had a positive experience. Thank you for what you do

The cabin is a great location, private and quiet, and just outside of Gatlinburg. Spacious and clean. Parkside staff are great and responsive!

Cabin was nice enough. Location was great. However, the cabin appeared to need several repairs. Main floor tub was cracked and tub faucet was loose and about to come off. The main floor bedroom whirlpool, the water knob wasn't attached to the fixture and the water could not even be ran. Not major issues, but the ability to use all the advertised amenities would be more ideal. Also, fixing these small repairs is just taking care of your investment. All in all, would recommend to a friend. We'll likely be using you guys again in the future.

Very nice place with wonderful amenities. Wish we had more towels.

Everything. Was fine a few cobwebs, but it's a cabin lots of bears. And we had Fun Bears.they were on the porch kind of spooky.

The cabin was ready when we arrived and was cleaned.

Could have have cleaned better. Cob webs ever where and floor sticky. No mop or broom in cabin either.

I was impressed by the booking process, the friendly, yet professional, staff and the cabin itself. Everything was top notch…and I was a travel agent for 35 years so I know bookings! Great advice given.

The cabin was in a great location and easy to find and get to. We had to call for more washcloths and got them quickly. The only other issue was something on the roof. An inspector came out within a half hour, but couldn't find anything. Didn't see any bears even though we were told there was activity around the area.

Bear paws was fantastic.. it was very quiet and relaxing.. we are actually able to see a few bears they were mining their own business just out looking for food and then bother anyone. We had a problem with our water not being hot enough and they sent Jason the maintenance guy to help us and he was there within the hour. You can't find that kind of service anywhere. I will definitely come back and spread the good word with all my friends.

Loved the Cabin…wish it had Curtains in windows and could use More pots and pans and the living room tv only had 2 channels to watch…

We enjoyed our stay with Park Side cabin rentals. Will come again.

Everything was awesome as always! Thank you for a great place to stay during our vacation!

Was a smooth transaction and cabin was as described. Loved the ease of everything.

Other than the fireplace not working a nice experience for the vacation

Loved the cabin! Great location as well to downtown gatlinburg.

We enjoyed our stay. Great booking experience and recommendations over the phone. Website accurately showed the cabin. We lived our stay. However, the washing machine was in pretty rough shape. We cleaned the mildew out of the tray and tub. We recommend a sign saying leave open. The kitchen was adequate but it could be a bit better stocked for this who like to cook and a few books or games would make it perfecto. However, we loved it and would come again.

Accommodating & friendly at check in . Just a suggestion, better towels would have been appreciated

Booking was easy. Started online and ended up calling for a last minute getaway. The 10% discount for return visitors is a great perk. Another amazing perk is the garage parking passes!! The combination of those two things is what sways me from VRBO and AirBNB. My critiques for the BEAR PAUSE CABIN are as follows: - Both beds creak so loudly! From the downstairs bed you can hear the upstairs bed creaking from simply rolling over. Wish there was a way to correct this. - There is no be ventilation in the bathrooms. Would be nice to have that. - Time for my soap box… one of my biggest pet-peeves is when cabins/condos/hotels use white lighting in living spaces instead of soft, warm light. It’s ALWAYS better to go with a bright, warm white (3000- 4000 celvin) instead of a white light (6000+ celvin). The white light makes it feel like a garage or basement whereas bright, warm lighting (more yellowish in nature) is more inviting. It’s a worthwhile endeavor to stock supply rooms and train the maintenance teams to change living spaces’ light bulbs to correct color temperature. All in all, a great stay and fun time. Will return again!

Excellent cabin. Plenty of toiletries, towels, etc. About 3 minutes from the Parkway. Excellent location. My son & grandson enjoyed the hot tub and pool table. All around great stay. Thank you!

Loved the cabin and loved the easy checkout. We would definitely stay again!

We had another great stay at the Bear Pause cabin!

Service was amazing. Staff was knowledgeable about the surroundings. Cabin was very clean and plenished with items. Must do again!!!

Overall I thought the cabin was fantastic. The fireplace did not work but they made up for this issue,and were very good at helping us with any issue that came up. Great place to stay and boy did we have a great time.

The gentleman I dealt with at check in was great. Cabin was clean. Rails on the porch could use a little sturdying and the glass on the windows and doors could've been cleaner, but otherwise a great cabin. Need chalk for pool table. More channel selection on TV, of course we may not have been on the right guide most said no access even the kid channels.

It is a place to relax I would recommend to other people

Great location, easy check in, very clean. We enjoyed the cabin, the many rocking chairs on the wrap around deck and had most everything we needed. A blow dryer, flat pan for the oven and a scrubby for the kitchen would be a nice addition. Not a complaint, just a suggestion.

The cabin needs a little TLC but it was comfortable and in a good location.

Great experience. Clean and just close far enough to feel out of town but close enough to be there in 5 minutes

We had the best experience with Parkside, we did a last minute trip and they got us in last minute. They were super nice and helpful. The cabin was great, it could have had more things in it to be more accommodating, keep in mind it was a last minute trip for us so we could have brought it with us normally. We even stayed an extra night.

Cabin was secluded and clean. We are NEVWR disappointed when we book with y’all. Thanks so much for making our annual New Year’s trip so wonderful.

Spacious cabin with all the amenities. Great place to stay!!

Loved our stay of Bear Pause! The cabin could use some repairs and a good cleaning. We had little kid hand prints on our glass doors and lots of dust. I can't imagine what it's like to keep up with so many cabins but just some extra love on this one. Such a lovely location and great area. Close to town but you don't feel like you are out in the wilderness. We look forward to staying with y'all again. Thank you very much!

You did good they needed to dust the house ok

Great cabin. Exactly what we needed for our weekend away.

All staff in office were very friendly and helpful at check in process. I will definitely stay with you all again in the future.

Loved the cabin and the check in. Great experience in a beautiful surrounding.

Renting from Parkside was a great experience, from me making the reservation to me checking out. I love the look of the cabin, all the amenities were there, and the location of the cabin was perfect.

It was absolutely perfect! A few things bothered me like the stairs getting in the hot tub were a bit tricky. Definitely for elders. Besides that and very few minor things, it was amazing! Definitely recommend!

The staff was very friendly and we had no issues with checking in and out. Cabin was clean and well stocked with the essentials. Overall it was a great experience and we intend on using you again when we come for another visit.

Really great, clean place. We loved the location and the amenities. The hot tubs and large bedrooms were perfect.

Cabin was great, it had everything we needed. Although the cleaning could have been a little better, there was confetti still in the lights and under table, and balloons from previous renter. Also, bath tub in main living areas handle is broke off so was a little hard to use, but overall cleanliness and tub issue are just minor and didn’t effect our stay! Would stay again.

Cabin was great! Check in with Jeff was easy and the staff was so friendly. We had a great time and have already recommended it to a friend looking to rent in June!

Everything was fantastic! We will not book from another company besides Parkside!

This place was clean and the views were beautiful! Would definitely stay here again.

Nice cabin and comfortable. Thank you for the parking passes. That was a big plus. Great staff.

You guys did excellent job from the checkin to checkout. Jeff is excellent.

Loved the cabin and location! Great customer service when our heat went out, they were out there and on the problem immediately! Gave us some extra parking tickets for our inconvenience… Excellent proximity to the main parkway and downtown Gatlinburg. Only suggestion I have is to move the hot tub to the back deck, it’s not as private on the front porch and steps are hard to get to, also maybe repair the pool table( rip in the cloth) and add an arcade game and it will be perfect! Fantastic company to rent from and lots of choices to fit most anyone’s needs in cabins!

We absolutely loved our stay. We will be back again, and we will be using your services.

Check in and directions to cabin was easy and descriptive. Street description could have been better, we turned off on "old Carter Town road" not realizing we needed to drive further to " Carter Town road ". Accommodations were great. We had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable and the overall stay was enjoyable. We appreciated the amenities- especially the full size refrigerator with ice machine. We also appreciated the iron. However we did not find the ironing board until the day we checked out. As it was under the master bed. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Upstair sink didn't drain View is all grown over, so no view One fork for four people. All in all nice home Need some repairs done.

The cabin was great! We had to squeeze between cars parked in the road next to our cabin a few days.

Everything was excellent! Great customer service! We will return! Awesome

Check in was easy. They had everything ready, all paperwork was in a folder. The cabin was beautiful, clean and plenty is space. We had a really great time and experience!

Cabin was exceptional. Wonderful accommodations. Will definitely return to Parkside Cabin Rentals!

You made our vacation like home away from home. Jeff was very accommodating.

Great cabin, so clean and a wonderful view! We will definitely be back!

Cabin is in a great location. Quick to fix issues we had during our stay. Could be cleaner, especially floors and around bathtubs. Shower curtain way too long in main floor bath, water leaking out of faucet in main floor bedroom, dishwasher does not work properly (soap does not dispense), needs a full set of silverware.

Cabin was clean and beds were comfortable. Love the location.

Excellent… everything was perfect! Best experience since we have been coming to Gatlinburg for 27 years!

Comfortable, beautiful setting, quiet, clean, close to everything Close to park

The cabin was wonderful to stay in and we will return. Thank you

The cabin was great, we appreciated the extra perks, and the customer service was great!

Every thing was clean and cozy and was not to expensive!

Very easy check in, and very easy checkout. Cabin was clean. Only downfall was that we spent a lot of time outside on the deck and it sounded like a dog kennel very close by and the dogs never stopped barking. But other than that, it was a excellent place and secluded which was very nice!

Beautiful cabin and views; great, convenient location. Parkside staff are excellent!

The cabin was beautiful and clean! It was perfect for our family.

Wonderful cabin customer service was great Ashley and crew did a great job in cleaning only just need to focus on cobwebs up high Had a hard time trying to figure out the door’s lock system but eventually we got it No major issues here We enjoyed the stay will be back Thank you all Beautiful cabin

The staff was amazing!!! I had so many questions that by the time I got there for my cabin they knew me by name and was very helpful and great!

The cabin & amenities were perfect!! Great, relaxing birthday weekend.

I had some porch lights that were out on the cabin and I called and you had someone out there to replace the lights within an hours of calling. I didnt expect someone to come that quick.

The stay at the cabin was great. The only things is that whomever is cleaning isn't doing a good job at dusting and cleaning the back of the toilet. On the last day we decided to go down and play pool and there was a dead mice is the corner.

I had a great time and would definitely do it again

Nice cabin ... needs some detail cleaning. Lots of cob webs and cigarette butts in the grass ( prob 60 ) Just a suggestion I would use some product to get rid of the carpenter bees, they are eating out the wood on the side.

Everything was wonderful we had a great time will be back to visit again for sure.

Everything was great but cabin was dusty, floors were quite dirty

Birthday weekend for my mom and she couldn't have been happier. Come and clean cabin. Staff were very helpful at check in and were very accommodating in changing my reservation

First visit to the Smokies could not have been better! The proximity of the cabin to downtown Gatlinburg and the national park is very convenient. The cabin was easy to find, the online pictures of the cabin were accurate. We hope to make it back soon and invite more family to along and enjoy these cabins!

Cabin was great, check in was the easiest ive ever seen. We have used Parkside before and they have never let us down thanks Guys for a great vacation

We enjoyed our stay very much. The upstairs mattress was not comfy at all, this is the first time I have had an uncomfortable bed when staying in your cabins.

Nice cabin in a somewhat secluded location (exception of the vehicles being parked by the entrance of this cabin's driveway due to the nearby cabins and their adjacent steep driveways). Floors were quite dirty and are in need of a good scrubbing. In addition, there appears to be years of dust under the beds and in the corners. With a good thorough cleaning and many minor repairs, this would be a GREAT cabin.

The home we stayed at was called bear pause and it was beyond our expectations in the beauty aspect. It could have been swept and mopped though. Otherwise it was beautiful. Also, a wedding was held next door and it wasn't that noticeable. A heads up would've been nice. But. Overall experience amazing, will be going again. Thank you, Fumagalli family.

We loved Bear Pause! The cabin worked perfectly for us. It was clean and had all the amenities that we needed. The check-in staff was friendly and helpful and the extra coupons were very helpful. We will recommend Parkside Cabins to our friends!

Lovely secluded cabin, very clean, I would definitely recommend Bear Pause for a family.

We loved the Bear Pause cabin. Really enjoyed the hot tub ,pool table and being able to cook our own food .The beds were clean and comfortable..

Every thing was very nice. Need better identification of the cabin ie, visible cabin street number.

We have stayed with Parkside for over four years and will continue to stay with them. The cabins are always clean and have everything you need. The staff is also very friendly and helpful.

Great experience! We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our cabin including the view, location, and amenities. We definitely will be making another trip

Very good. Would like to get another confirmation email within 24-48 hours of my reservation just to confirm though.

It was really great! The stay was so cosy and relaxing.The house pictures which i saw on the site was exactly the same when i reached there. The facilities were awesome. We were provided with every basic things. The Gatlinburg donwtown was very near from our cabin.

We loved our cabin; especially the hot tub! Everything was clean and the location was perfect- close to everything but still private. Planning to rent this again next year

Fantastic, accommodating, friendly! Very tentative, and super helpful friendly staff.

Second time staying with y’all and we will go again! Clear and consistent communication, great facilities, and wonderful location.

Very comfortable cabin, great hot tub, and all the amenities we would want! thank you,

Our second stay with you guys and will be be back! Friendly staff and clean cabin! Great location.

Check in was great and coupons for parking and aquarium were so nice!

nice cabin with great view. wish we could have stayed longer.

Excellent staffing especially when I left my tablet in the cabin.

Always easy check in and check out. Cabin was clean and exactly as seen on website.

Your check in and out was a breeze. This was our third time staying with y’all and the guy at the office recognized us. The Bear Pause cabin was clean, fantastic, and it’s location was perfect for us. This was our second time staying in it, and will not be our last.

The cabin was Fantastic! We received a warm welcome upon arrival and they gave us all kinds of tips and ideas about the surrounding area. What a great find!

Everything was great! Thanks so much! We were especially pleasantly surprised to get the parking vouchers and aquarium ticket! Thanks!

The cabin was well represented on the web page, it was large and a great fit for our needs.

We were in love with Bear Pause and will definitely stay again! Everything was clean, homey, and we had no problems. Staff were friendly and we really enjoyed our first experience with you!

Excellent. Great house, location, needed maint 2x & they showed up quickly & took care of them.

Very fast check in and as usual the cabin was top notch!

Great overall experience! The cabin was clean and convenient to Gatlinburg attractions.

Our cabin was exactly as pictured on the website and we could not have been happier! Everything was super clean. We will definitely be back.

Great cabin and awesome location. Very easy to find. We had a great time. Your hospitality was great! I will definitely be booking another vacation with you in the future.

Clean beautiful nice people at front desk been in same cabin 3 times

Loved how professional the check in process was with the gift bag and coupons. Added a very professional touch that let us know right away that we made the right decision!

The cabinet was very clean and it was perfect for our business day. The only thing that needs to be fixed is the trash on the ground below the deck. There's quite a bit thank you for the wonderful accommodations

Wonderful, as always! Parkside is a top notch company. Thank you for being so helpful!

My husband and I have been renting with Parkside for over a decade now, and have never been disappointed. Each cabin has a little something unique to offer and we love that we can choose a cabin on our own, or can call in, tell someone what we'd like, and get matched to the perfect cabin. We did have a slight mishap on our last stay...let's just say an unbolted dryer stacked on a new unleveled washing machine on a tile floor...yep...took a tumble. I called Parkside and alerted them to our, ahem, little situation, and the service was prompt and professional. Being there this time was a little more surreal seeing the first hand damage of the Gatlinburg fire, but nothing could keep us from this area, we love it. We especially love Parkside and all the friendly, accommodating staff and maintenance men.

Clean. Location. LOved it.That is all I want to say.

This was our second stay in Bear Pause. It was as lovely as we remembered it to be. Very comfortable and convenient to downtown and other activities.

The cabin turned into our home away from home. It was very reassuring knowing that we had a kitchen we could fix real meals in, saving us from having to eat out every meal. Also having a washer and dryer was so nice. It was used quite a lot. It was nice going home with our suitcases full of clean clothes instead of a dirty laundry bag. (This was a big plus for this mom) We were so please with the prompt response in the need for trash pick up and the need of more towels for our family of 5. Yes, we did wash them but you provided us with more than plenty of soap to do so. I was very worried about how accommodating you would be, as we have had some negative hotel experiences, but I was very at ease and was able to enjoy our stay and rest and re cooperate. Thank you so, so much. We will definitely be using your company again. The Schrader 5

Our first time renting a cabin vs a hotel and we enjoyed the cabin very much. There were some cleaning issues that I had mentioned at check out-- not as a complaint, but as an observation. The air vent at the top of the basement stairs was very dusty, and the inside of the wall of windows in the dining / living rooms had some long term cobwebs . Otherwise the cleanliness of the interior was good. I realize it is extremely difficult to keep the exterior clean at all times due to the mountain location, but the back did look like it had not been cleaned recently . Our 10 yr old grandson enjoyed the hot tub, and the pool table was good for family entertainment! Overall a pleasant vacation, and would stay there again if our travels bring us back to the area.

Everything was nice & easy. The cabin was pretty & we had plenty of room for 6 of us to move around comfortably

Staff was very helpful at check-in. Process was quick and easy and we were on our way in less than 10 minutes. Cabin was just as we expected from the pictures on the website. We would recommend Park Side Cabin Rentals to anyone visiting the Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge area.

Easy to book, the driving instructions to the cabin were easy to follow,cabin was very nice, and the staff was polite and helpfull, overall very good.

We enjoyed our cabin and all our views! Great experience!

Everything was really great. We will be back real soon!!!

everything was fine. THE CABIN was clean the Wi-Fi works well instructions were clear to the cabin the free parking tickets came in handy thank you.

Very nice cabin. Love the white bedding so you can see that they are clean. We got snowed in one day so the free use of Wi-Fi was great.

My experience was excellent, Jeff checked us in, he was so friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay amazing, this is our second stay, and I will definitely rent from Parkside Cabins again very soon!

Love th the cabin. The only thing we had to complain about is your policy on making sure all the dishes are clean before you leave. Your policy should be to oad them in the dishwasher. Because once we got there and got out the plates halfway down the stack of plates they had dirty dishes were someone just threw them in the cabinets dirty because they were too lazy to clean them.

The cabin was nice and had everything we needed there, but it could have been cleaned better. For the price, I would not have expected to see cobwebs in the place and on the walls or mildew in the shower.

It was a nice secluded cabin but it needed some upkeep. For example there were spiderwebs inside and I dustbunnies under the beds.

We took 3 of our grandchildren with us on our trip. When we walked into the cabin one of them exclaimed, oh grandma...you did good!!! She loved the cabin. It was very nice & clean. We were very comfortable there. We loved the location.

Bear Pause was in a beautiful location in Gatlinburg! We loved the seclusion and the awesome amenities. We even stayed an extra night because we didn't want to leave! The staff at the rental office were all courteous and helpful. Keep it up! We even used the indoor pool at the Fairfield.....nice extra perk. Even though we're local Sevier Countians, we escaped reality for a few days and loved celebrating our 20th anniversary in a gorgeous cabin.

Great place, could use less spiders and bees. Awesome people

Awesome, our check in process was quick and accurate, and we were off to start What was a great stay with Parkside, I would highly recommend your company to my friends and family!

Very impressed. Very clean and comfortable.. We will definitely be coming back soon

Our stay was excellent and the cabin had everything that we needed.
