Gorgeous Cottage on Private Lake - 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.

This unique 3+ acre property sleeps up to four guests and has its own private lake that provides a peaceful experience of our mountain environment. Terrific for watching birds, turtles, an otter, and other wildlife.

COTTAGE HISTORY:

Cattail Cottage was built in 1937 on land that was once home to the Cherokee. 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.

- Exclusive dock
- Provided fishing kayak

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!
