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:

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.

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!

Great Stay

My family of four (plus furry friend) had a wonderful trip to Cashiers using Tiny Cottage as our home base! The amenities were excellent - we made s’mores in the fire pit and having laundry was an added bonus! This location was perfect for our needs!

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.

Perfect Cottage

We have done some wonderful traveling and most of those travels we have been very lucky to stay in some wonderful homes. This takes the cake for our favorite place we have stayed! This home is beautiful, peaceful, warm, cozy and welcoming. From the fire pit, to the kitchen to the wonderful back deck, this house is amazing!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We loved staying at Pam's beautiful cottage! Pam made sure we had everything we needed and had all of our questions answered, and we had a wonderful weekend away hiking and enjoying some time outside. The cottage is situated on a gorgeous property with a fire pit and pond, and the soft sheets and plush towels made the experience feel luxurious. We would recommend this cottage to anyone looking to have a peaceful trip in the mountains!

The coziest little cabin in Cashiers

We loved our stay at Tiny Trail Cottage! The cabin is so clean and perfectly suited for a couple or small family. The property is beautiful and sits against a peaceful little pond that was frequented by otters and ducks. It was a quick drive to town for groceries or restaurants... though the cabin is so darling we wanted to spend most time at the homebase. If this place is available for your dates, just book it!

Cozy cute cottage

This place is ADORABLE. We loved it and enjoyed it so very much. Such a relaxing place for us to getaway and offered everything we could have possibly asked for and more. It was very clean, very cozy, and had an amazing view out back. Pam did such a great job checking in on us, making sure we had everything we needed, as well as giving us helpful info on hikes. We’d love to come back for another stay!

Charming Cottage for a Charming Area

Cottage was perfectly charming. The decor was welcoming and warm, made us feel at home. Well equipped with all the necessary items. Weather didn’t allow a fire-pit this trip, but the cottage has a great outdoor area. Great location to town, outdoor grassy area for our dogs to stretch their legs. Pam was wonderful to work with, very accommodating. We will be back. Simply charming.

Perfect cabin in the woods!

This was the perfect cabin for our mountain getaway. Along with all of the amenities expected, this is a special place. There are two ducks that are reliably seen in the pond morning and afternoon. Unfortunately, they were a bit stand-offish but likely because of my dog. But we did make dog friends with an old white lab looking dog across the pond. I would definitely return. ‘Tis a gem buried in the NC woods.

Sweet little cabin on a pond

We had a lovely winter weekend, and it was perfect for our family (2 young boys). Everything was new and clean and as pictured. Great location in Cashiers, although a little tricky to find when coming at night. Boys really enjoyed the pond, fire pit, backyard area. One morning we woke up to a beautiful light dusting of snow, and got in a great ski day at nearby Sapphire Valley! We are in love with this area of the mountains - so much to do- hikes, waterfalls, skiing, fishing, etc. While it was perfect for us, be aware cabin is very petite, and may not be as comfortable for larger/taller people or more than 3-4 people at a time. Also travel light, as there is not much room for any extra bags/clothes/equipment/stuff. Would definitely return again, possibly in summer to enjoy the back deck area more.

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.
