Honey Bear Pause: Rural Escape w/ Porch & Hot Tub!

Honey Bear Pause was just as quaint and rustic as pictured. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay including the decor with its thoughtful seasonal touches. The hot tub was relaxing, and the rocking chairs on the deck were perfect for sipping coffee in the morning and wine in the evenings. Since we had a rather extended stay, we made full use of the kitchen which was well stocked with the necessary cookware. Even though we cooked some, we also ate at several local restaurants. I highly recommend the burgers at the Apple Valley Cafe, and the steak and trout at Trailhead. However, our favorite was the breakfast at Riverstone which was thoughtfully provided for us as part of our stay. The sweet cream pancakes were so delicious, we went back for more the following morning! We also purchased ready made sandwiches from the Townsend IGA for our afternoon trip to Cades Cove, a must see destination. On our way back into Townsend, we had to stop for a bear crossing, a mother and her two cubs! Here are some tips for travelers (which certainly do not take away from our excellent rating of the cabin). Take your own or plan a trip to the IGA for perishables, paper towels, and napkins should you need them. Shampoo was provided, but you'll need to bring your own conditioner should you need it. We had plenty of other basics. Altogether, we highly recommend the cabin and Townsend, the Peaceful Side of the Smokies!

Great, peaceful weekend getaway.

It was adequate for our stay, but was smaller than it looks in pics.

Excellent stay. The location is perfect if you’re coming for the National Park. This cabin specifically is private and quiet and CALM. Clean and decorated very nice. Loved the touches of fall decor! Townsend truly is the quiet side of the smokies and we had the best stay. Important to note that if you are traveling with a larger vehicle (we have a Chevy Silverado) the parking will be rather tight as well as the roads to the cabin.

Precious cabin in Townsend! Bed is comfortable, great little get away for a couple! Beautiful drive through the park to get to Gatlinburg.

The place was clean and well appointed. Plenty of towels and pillows. A nice bottle of wine was waiting for us. We would definitely stay there again.

Romantic

This is our second time staying at this cabin, and we will be back again!

Very nice , funiture could be updated though .

Me and my husband want to get away for the weekend and it was so relaxing and peaceful this beautiful cabin. We went to Cades Cove and did some hiking at Abrams Fall it was so beautiful. We saw bears, deers, horses and turkey ☺️

Cabin felt out dated and not as clean as other cabins we have stayed in. Nothing to upset me that much. No yard front or back. Was right in mountain.
