Cozy Cottage

We loved our stay at Cattail Cottage. It was cozy, comfortable and close to the shops in Cashiers. There were several outdoor spaces to enjoy. The kitchen has a great coffee/tea bar and it was stocked with samples for your visit. The owner also left a snack basket that we throughly enjoyed. Checkout was a breeze!

About the host

Hosted by Timothy

Host profile image
For nearly 25 years we have had the pleasure of creating memorable vacation experiences for families. In each case, you are renting our personal home. We do not rely on a separate property management company, which means we are fully equipped to answer all questions regarding the home and its location. We love this area and want others to love it too. We have spent considerable time and resources creating ways that will connect you with our beautiful natural surrounding. It is our hope you'll see this isn't just another vacation rental.

Why they chose this property

Cattail Cottage is fully renovated inside and out with impeccable attention to connecting guests with their surroundings. The property location on its own lake with a unique ecology creates a setting to connect with nature while providing a short stroll to the center of Cashiers.

What makes this property unique

Cattail Cottage is a 2 bed / 2 full bath home located on its own private lake with 3.31 acres and yet an easy stroll to the center of Cashiers. The home is perfect two couples or a family of four. It is less ideal for babies, toddlers or anyone who may have difficulty navigating stone steps since the home is not handicap accessible.

We've used a professional landscape architect's talent to embrace the lake location in order connect guests with a unique ecosystem. From porch to patio with fire pit, dock with provided kayak, and "Camp Cattail" where you can prepare meals outside on the park-style grill with nearby picnic table as well as relax in the hammock. Sitting on the dock you can expect to observe turtles, fish, ducks, herons, and even a resident otter.
