Tiny Bearadise has a washer/dryer, which is a plus. The cabin was very clean and as described; the decor matches the cabin theme. There's no ramp; 3 steps to access. The host is very welcoming and very efficient. Nice, quiet location.

Was an excellent location and the house was perfectly clean and well stocked. Plenty of towels/bedding and the washing machine was a nice touch. I appreciated having separate mini split systems for the bedroom and Common area as well. Excellent home base for a fishing trip! The downtown area of Sylvia was really neat which I wasn’t expecting. Great location for getting to the casino as well.

My family and I were moving my son into his dorms at Western Carolina University. We need somewhere close to stay that was affordable. The property is absolutely amazing! It was very clean and very comfortable. The cutest thing you ever saw! The kids (even with them being teenagers !) enjoyed the river! The owner was very quick to respond to me if I had any questions. I would definitely recommend this to someone else! 10 out of 10!

The location was great and having the river at our front door was very nice. The pictures of the unit gave an idea that it was larger than it actually is. The accommodations were comfortable.

The cabin was lovely! It was very clean and comfortable. Listing was accurate. We were family of 6, kids aged 14-8 and we fit very comfortably for such a tiny home. We stayed for 1 night- if a trip was for longer than a night or 2, I could foresee the 1 bathroom being an issue, but for our quick trip it proved be a perfect place. Host was very easy to communicate with and gave a wonderful recommendation for breakfast for us as well! View on the balcony was beautiful and so peaceful. All around a great place!

We enjoyed our stay so much! The house was perfect and everything immaculate. The deck offers a great view of the river and the sound of the water rushing was so relaxing. I especially enjoyed watching the many kayaks and tubers pass by. There were also geese and other birds in and around the water. We will definitely go back again and we recommend anyone to visit if given the chance. Thanks so much!

Little paradise

This was our second time staying, we rented a smaller cabin on the same strip the first time. We were hoping to rent the same cabin again, but it was fully booked so we got the larger cabin. We were only 3 so it gave us some extra space. It was wonderful to be on the river, since my boy enjoy fly fishing. It’s close to town, so lots of little stores and restaurants to explore. Very responsive host, easy check in and out!

Relaxing weekend getaway

Tiny Bearadise is exactly as advertised. We stayed over two nights while visiting our son at Western Carolina, and found it very convenient to Dillsboro, Sylva, and the WCU campus. If you like a more scenic ride, I'd highly recommend driving River Road from Dillsboro to Cullowhee. The accommodations were clean, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for several meals. We absolutely LOVED our stay here. Unlike a prior reviewer, I had absolutely no problem taking the trash 20 yards to the centrally located trash cans. Sitting on the deck listening to the Tuckaseegee roll by was incredibly relaxing, as was hanging out by the firepit with a small fire. It does sleep 8, but you'd want to be very close friends. The loft area would be great for a child or two at least 8 years old. If you're into outdoor sports, enjoy being away from the crowd, and don't mind a smaller space, then definitely come to Bearadise. If I'd had a kayak with me, I would have dropped it into the water right from the cabin. If you're more of a Hilton Honors traveler, look elsewhere.
