We had an awesome stay at the cabin. Everything was as described. The location was so convenient to Cashiers. We had one rainy day and the cabin was a very cozy place to hang out, relax and watch movies. A wonderful place for a couple to enjoy.

This little cottage is a great place to stay!! Fantastic location for heading to various hiking trails and very close to town for groceries or resturants. The Farmer's market, close by, was perfect for what we needed. The fire pit was a treat and Pam has plenty of firewood. The grill was great to have since we grilled 3 out of 6 nights. Pam is a great host!! My wife and I would love to return to this little spot of paradise!
The cottage was neat and clean and met our expectations based on the photos. Excellent location in Cashiers. Private and secluded yet only minutes to town. We would stay here again in the future.

First, the sweet little neighborhood this home is in is FABULOUS! I walked every morning on the winding roads around the property. Home is tiny, and perfect. Everything you need in a comfortable, organized, attractive setting. The back porch is everything; it rained everyday on our trip, but afternoons on the rainy porch was perfection!

Lori,Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful review! We’re thrilled to hear you loved the neighborhood and enjoyed your morning walks. It’s wonderful that the cottage felt just right for you—cozy, comfortable, and well-equipped. The porch really is such a special place, and we’re glad the rain made it even more memorable for you. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another peaceful stay........pam🌿
The property is very secluded and private, yet close to Cashiers' crossroad (can walk to the town green). The house is compact and well organized, with a lovely view from the porch out to the lawn and pond. The ducks kept us entertained!The weather was fabulous (early September) -- crisp, clean mountain air! We had a nice time taking hikes and enjoying area restaurants and Cashiers Farmer's Market.

Brenda,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the peaceful privacy of the property while still being close to the heart of Cashiers. The ducks do have a way of keeping things lively, and we’re so glad they added to your stay. Early September really is a perfect time to soak in that fresh mountain air, and it sounds like you made the most of the hikes, restaurants, and the Farmer’s Market. We’d love to welcome you back anytime! 🌿🦆……..Pam

About the host
Hosted by Pam Kuhl
Originally from Kentucky, my husband and I relocated to Florida for his career. We soon discovered the joy of escaping the summer heat with vacations in the mountains of North Carolina. After experiencing the vibrant fall colors and the beauty of spring blooms, we were hooked. Over time, we visited in every season and realized this place is truly wonderful year-round.
Mark is an avid outdoorsman who thrives on adventure, while I’m a wildlife enthusiast who loves hosting guests and sharing meaningful conversation around the fire. Our passion for serving the needy has taken us to many third-world countries, but we always return to the peace and beauty of North Carolina to rest and recharge.
