Cottage · Private Lake + Dock · Walk to Town

Imagine waking up in a charming mountain cottage where history meets modern comfort, just steps away from the best of Cashiers village. Nestled in the scenic landscape of the western NC Carolina mountains, Cattail Cottage offers a private retreat for those looking to recharge and reconnect with nature.

The fully renovated 2br / 2ba cottage has more than 3 acres of serene property, including Camp Cattail, that includes a dock, fishing kayak, fire pit, patio, hammock, park grill, & picnic table.

Talmadge Seldon and Maude Lance started a lumber mill in 1932 and began "half-round log siding" construction and began selling lots in a subdivision they named, Lancewood. While fully renovated, Cattail Cottage maintains some of its original charm with the D-log siding and original sweet gum flooring.

Cozy Cottage

We loved our stay at Cattail Cottage. It was cozy, comfortable and close to the shops in Cashiers. There were several outdoor spaces to enjoy. The kitchen has a great coffee/tea bar and it was stocked with samples for your visit. The owner also left a snack basket that we throughly enjoyed. Checkout was a breeze!

Our family has frequented "cottages" for several decades and I have learned to pack all kinds of extras from home to make our stay more comfortable-that said-Cattail Cottage exceeded every expectation for hospitality! Both mattresses passed my "princess and the pea" test. I didn't need my Lysol spray or wipes, it was perfectly clean and no smells at all! And there was ample paper towels, toilet paper and even Kleenex! There was numerous ways to get our morning coffee or tea with lots of samples of each from which to select. :) We loved sitting at the dock at sunset and watching the ducks and the Ramblers Trail made walking to dinner options as easy as pie. Nice short drive to Gorges and plenty of trails to enjoy! Looking forward to returning. Thank you again Timothy for our comfortable stay, Cattail Cottage is a stunner!
