The Lancewood Neighborhood Community in Cashiers, North Carolina, is located below Sheep Cliff Mountain along the headwaters of the Horsepasture River. Lancewood was once part of an Old Indian Trail and a gold mine tract.
In 1929, Talmadge Seldon Lance (note the T.S. Lance marker located at the entrance of our neighborhood), his wife Maude Pinner Lance, their teenage children, and friends of theirs moved here from Asheville. In 1932 they bought a saw and started a lumber yard. Their original homestead was located on what is now the entrance to the Lancewood Neighborhood.
T.S. and Maude Lance were successful with their lumber business and eventually started building half-round log cabins for the buyers of their lots in the subdivision they named Lancewood. They built roads and dams for two lakes and surveyed about 65 lots, some with small acreages and some with larger acreages, all on the former gold mine. Their sales of lots and tracts continued into the forties and fifties, offering dream second homes in Cashiers with the added perk of being close to town.
We, the current custodians of this beautiful land and these dream homes are proud of our neighborhood’s heritage. We hope you like it too.
Come once and you will want to return year after year.

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!!!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Pam Kuhl

Host profile image
Growing up in Kentucky, my husband and I relocated to Florida because of his career. We soon found that we liked vacationing in the mountains of North Carolina in the summer to escape the heat.Then we visited in the fall, and saw how spectacular the leaf change was, then we visited in the spring and loved all the flowers and trees in bloom. We have now visited every month of the year, and decided it's fantastic year-round.
Mark is an avid outdoorsman who loves adventure, Pam is a wildlife enthusiast who loves to entertain, and values meaningful conversation around the fire. Their love to serve the needy has taken them to many third-world countries, but they return to North Carolina to relax.
