This home was a great selection for our group and close to everything we wanted to do. It was clean and what we expected. The decks and furniture could have been cleaner but we made it work with a broom and wet cloth. So in the end it was a great stay.

Really nice place to stay. Really close to all attractions but secluded enough to make you feel alone. Owners were very nice and easy to get in touch with. They decorated for Christmas which made it feel like home. Pool table, game machine and hot tub so your never board. We were very happy and this home is definitely on our list!

I would highly recommend Bear Paws. The house is wonderful. It has three floors. There was eight of us, but the house is so roomy you aren’t cramped up. The grandchildren loved the hot tub and all of the downstairs items to play with. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Hosted by Tracy Harris

Host profile image
Welcome to our chalet! We are Tracy and Sharon Harris from Murfreesboro, TN. Tracy is a real estate agent and property manager and Sharon takes care of the property books. We both love the outdoors, working in the yard, and gardening. Tracy enjoys CrossFit, running, hiking and working in his shop. Sharon is a wonderful cook, and loves sewing and taking care of her family. We are both active in our local church. We have 4 daughters and 5 grandsons. We recently purchased Bear Pause and have poured ourself into making it a place for you to enjoy. We hope you will consider it for your stay.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a vacation home that was large enough for our family to use. The open main floor was a plus for large families and the bedrooms are set up for privacy. It is also perfect for multiple couples.

What makes this property unique

The location is very private, but it’s close to all the attractions in the area.
