Ready for the Vacation of a Lifetime?
If you’ve never experienced the mountains of Western North Carolina, you're in for a real treat! Nestled in a peaceful and eye-catching neighborhood, Tiny Trail Cottage is the perfect place to stay for a relaxing and memorable getaway in the heart of Cashiers, NC.
Recently renovated and beautifully designed, this cozy cottage blends rustic charm with modern elegance. Located in the wooded Lancewood neighborhood—just a scenic one-mile walk from downtown Cashiers—you’ll find yourself close to restaurants, shopping, and even a full-size Ingles grocery store, all while enjoying the serenity of mountain living.
Every detail of Tiny Trail Cottage was thoughtfully designed to ensure you feel welcomed and considered from the moment you arrive. The home is filled with natural light and furnished with all-designer décor. Original hardwood floors and ceilings, new oversized windows, and a charming breakfast nook with repurposed antique windows reflect the warmth and character of the home.
The open-concept living space features:
A fully renovated, well-stocked kitchen with stainless steel appliances
Free Wi-Fi and satellite TV (including Netflix) on a 60" flat-screen

One queen bed and two twin beds with plush mattresses, new linens, and large closets
The bathroom offers:
A luxurious walk-in shower with a creek-rock floor and beautiful subway tile
Enjoy year-round comfort with central air and heat, plus the convenience of a washer and dryer in the basement. Step outside to unwind on the back porch with a central gas grill, surrounded by rhododendrons, a tranquil creek, and a fire pit stocked with logs—perfect for mountain evenings.
For the Foodies:
Our kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with sharp knives, a spice rack, blender, hand mixer, dishwasher-safe cookware, and two coffee makers (traditional and French press)—everything you need to create culinary magic.

The History of Lancewood:
Our neighborhood sits on historic land once traveled by Cherokee tribes and later developed by T.S. and Maude Lance in the 1930s. They established a lumber business and built charming half-round log cabins on land that had once been a gold mine. Today, their legacy lives on in this tranquil community of dream homes.

We are honored to be caretakers of this special place and hope you'll love it as much as we do. Come once—and you'll want to return year after year.

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.

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!

Bucolic setting

The cottage was very convenient to downtown Cashiers but felt like you were in a lakeside vacation community. The pet area was a great idea. Property was planted with hostas and old growth rhododendron. It was convenient to restaurants and shopping but was so enticing I wanted to stay seated in the rocking chairs on the back deck! Visit Highlands too while you are there.

About the host

Hosted by Pam Kuhl

Host profile image
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.

Whether you prefer peaceful walks, hiking scenic mountain trails, or splashing in nearby swimming holes, adventure awaits just outside your door.

Everything you want to do is within a 15-minute radius—swimming, hiking, horseback riding, golfing, playgrounds, fitness centers, snow skiing, snowboarding, zip lining, dining, biking, libraries, summer camps, and so much more.

What makes this property unique

Tiny Trail Cottage offers the rare combination of secluded mountain charm and walkable access to downtown Cashiers.

We also offer complimentary access to Sapphire Valley Resort amenities, including golf, tennis, fitness center, skiing, and more—making your stay both relaxing and activity-rich.

With thoughtful hospitality, a fully stocked kitchen, and year-round natural beauty, Tiny Trail Cottage is more than a rental—it’s a place to make lasting memories.
