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.

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.

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!

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.

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
