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.

Place had bed bugs and not very clean. Host kept saying how sorry he was but did not find us anywhere to go. We had to find some where to stay. I couldn’t be more unhappy with the service we received.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Relaxing Retreat

First time staying in the summer months. More activity than our usual Fall visits. Loved spending time on the deck and watching the activities on the river.

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!

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!

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!

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!
