Every detail of Tiny Trail Cottage was thoughtfully designed to ensure you feel welcomed and considered from the moment you arrive.

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.

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 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!

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.

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!

This is a darling, beautiful slice of heaven. Very clean, well equipped, we wanted for nothing.

Pam is an outstanding host. She thought of everything! We arrived late in the day, we were tired and just wanted to breath the fresh air and relax.. There were delicious carrot cupcakes waiting along with blueberry scones in the frig. To die for.. I honestly can’t think of one single thing she overlooked.. Pam stays in touch and is happy to help with anything. This is located in a secluded spot close to town.. easy to navigate. Our dog Bella made lots of friends on her walks.. I hated to leave the weather and this lovely place. Thank You Pam. PS we replaced the cheese grater , wire whisk and a new tea strainer was added.

Cozy Cottage

The Tiny Trail Cottage was absolutely perfect for our family vacation! We have two young girls and a dog, and we were all incredibly comfortable in the cottage. After a long drive from Florida, we walked in to a clean, beautiful cottage and delicious cupcakes from a local bakery graciously left by the owner. It is evident that the owner put a lot of thought and detail into this adorable cottage. We enjoyed the spacious backyard and fire pit, the fireplace and the fun games in the storage coffee table. The cottage is so close to everything – Slab Town Pizza and Ugly Dog Café were our favorites - and we enjoyed shopping in Highlands and many of the great hiking trails in the area. Next time, we hope the ski area will be cold enough to make snow for our Florida girls to enjoy the skiing and tubing! All in all, it was the perfect cottage for a wonderful family trip! Thank you, Pam, for offering your lovely, cozy cottage and for thinking of all the details that make our stay special! The Manning Family Melbourne, Florida

A cozy nest for two

My husband and I spent a week at this property and loved it. It was in a great location in Cashiers, within walking distance of the town (farmer's market, coffee shop, etc.) and in a neighborhood of other similar homes but each one is very privately situated. We loved Pam's design style and attention to detail. The place could be in a magazine spread it's so cute, with planked walls, subway tile and tons of personality. It is also comfortable, with great living room seating including two recliners (great for watching movies) and memory foam mattresses. We spent much of our time on the covered back porch, grilling dinner and looking out at the expansive back yard and pond. Pam and Mark were also extremely responsive. We had trouble getting the fireplace started (the pilot light was out) but they sent someone right out to fix it and communicated clearly about check in and check out. We would definitely recommend this for singles, couples or perhaps a family with one child.
