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.
