Walk to Downtown Cashiers!CharmingSecluded Cottage w/Resort Access –Pet Friendly

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
A built-in wine rack, plush tufted sofa, leather recliners, and a gas fireplace
The bedrooms include:
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.

Explore the Sawyer Family Christmas Tree Farm
Enjoy world-class fishing, hiking, and scenic mountain views
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.

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.

Wonderful Location and Home!

We loved staying at Tiny Trail Cottage! My husband and I rented our own home for the Masters week in Augusta, GA and this was the perfect escape. Pam was excellent to communicate with. The location was perfect; we were able to walk into Cashiers to explore and quickly drive to other nearby towns. The home was charming and had everything we needed. The back porch offered great views and a quaint setting for morning coffee or an afternoon glass of wine. We enjoyed using the fireplace in the morning and evenings. We can't wait for our next trip back!

Beautiful Property!

The house and the yard were even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. The location is perfect. It’s tucked away in gorgeous woods but 1/2 a mile to downtown Cashiers. I walked into town every day. It’s also centrally located to a lot of good hikes with beautiful waterfalls. I highly recommend staying here.

The perfect getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location to downtown Cashiers was our initial draw (a 10 minute walk, as promised), but it ended up being the back porch we fell in love with. It rained the entire length of our stay, but we spent hours on the porch watching the rain and working on our laptops or reading. The landscaping is beautiful! The house itself was charming and perfect for us; it was exactly as it was described... maybe better. Pam was an attentive hostesss and made sure we'd arrived safely and had everything we needed. We will stay here again, for sure.

Spotlessly clean cottage in ideal location!

We had a wonderful six-day stay at the lovely Tiny Trail Cottage! The house was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, and generously equipped. It was apparent that Pam was extremely thoughtful as she anticipated and provided supplies to meet the needs of her guests. We absolutely loved the location of the cottage! Whenever we weren't out hiking, visiting waterfalls, shopping, or eating out at restaurants, we enjoyed relaxing on the back porch, soaking in the beautiful view. This was also a great location for our dog. We enjoyed walking her around the neighborhood, and we appreciated the designated "potty area" on the side of the house. The motion-activated outdoor lights were very helpful at night, along with the flashlights that Pam provided. My husband and I have stayed in three other rental properties during previous visits to the Cashiers/Highlands area, and we agree that Tiny Trail Cottage is, by far, the best! We look forward to returning next year!

Memorial Day Weekend Family Fun

Cashiers has always been a special place to us, so it was such a treat to bring our kids to join in the fun. The location of Tiny Trail Cottage was perfect- so close to the town center of Cashiers while simultaneously tucked away in the quietest mountain neighborhood. The outdoor space was amazing. Our kids absolutely loved the backyard and enjoyed playing, watching the ducks, spotting bunnies, and roasting marshmallows over the fire! The cottage was very clean and quaint with comfortable furnishings and lots of windows to let the outdoors in. Pam was super quick to respond to any questions we had during our stay, and the check in and check out process was seamless. We look forward to our next visit to Tiny Trail Cottage!

Cashiers Gem

What a lovely stay we had at the Tiny Cottage. It was clean beyond measure, VERY roomy (not THAT tiny!), private but not secluded and a great location in Cashiers. We loved the neighborhood as well, great for walking the dog. It was perfect for the two of us and our dog. The loading and unloading was a breeze on even ground- no steps! We particularly enjoyed the back porch for reading during the day, star gazing at night. The kitchen was very well appointed with high end appliances and plenty of everything you need for preparing a meal. The gas fireplace in the living area did a beautiful job of warming the entire cottage- even though we had temps in the low 30's at night, we never turned on the heat. Pam was a great host and very responsive. We will definitely return!!!
