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!

This is an awesome cabin getaway! The location is minutes from multiple downtown areas, the cabin is clean and in great condition, and sitting on the porch listening to the river made for the most relaxing vacation. Highly recommend this place!

A fun cabin to stay in on the river! It was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay! My only problem was, I wished we could have stayed longer! Thanks for hosting us!

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.

Great tiny cabin!

It was perfect for our family of 4! We put the kids upstairs and used the bunk area for their luggage. We spent most of our time exploring the area, but really enjoyed the deck space when at the cabin.
