This cabin was so charming! We loved it so much. It was exactly what we were looking for a restful weekend away. It was so clean and had everything we needed! We will come back again for sure.
This little cottage is a great place to stay!! Fantastic location for heading to various hiking trails and very close to town for groceries or resturants. The Farmer's market, close by, was perfect for what we needed. The fire pit was a treat and Pam has plenty of firewood. The grill was great to have since we grilled 3 out of 6 nights. Pam is a great host!! My wife and I would love to return to this little spot of paradise!
My wife and I stayed here with our kids over their winter break and we all had a great time relaxing and enjoying each other in this cozy cottage. The layout was perfect for our family of four.

This place and the owners are fantastic! It is such a well decorated place. There are a few breweries and dining options nearby- plus the cutest Cashiers market which is a must! It’s the perfect retreat! I would definitely recommend
This property is the perfect place for a weekend getaway. We love the location and will probably book again. It’s well furnished and clean. Loved our stay.
The cabin was perfect for my wife and me! We brought our dog, Sasha loved the large backyard. The cabin was furnished perfectly and the fireplace was great for cool mornings.
Nice property, great/friendly owner Pam…
We enjoyed our stay..we were back and forth picking up kids from camp and probably needed a little more space. Just note the place is 640ish sf.
The property is very secluded and private, yet close to Cashiers' crossroad (can walk to the town green). The house is compact and well organized, with a lovely view from the porch out to the lawn and pond. The ducks kept us entertained!The weather was fabulous (early September) -- crisp, clean mountain air! We had a nice time taking hikes and enjoying area restaurants and Cashiers Farmer's Market.
This property was exactly as described. It made for a nice get away for my wife and I along with our two kids. The owners responsiveness is unmatched. Can not say enough great things about this property.
We adored the property and how close it was to downtown Cashiers. The property exceeded our expectations and was perfect for our family. Very cozy and comfortable
Amazing cottage and property; the best experience we could have hoped for during our NC trip to the mountains. The hostess, Pam, was outstanding and so very attentive. The Tiny Trail Cottage was beautiful, inside and out, and just perfect for us. We want to return!
Close to town but still secluded. Very clean and thoughtful details. Owner was a great communicator. There was a strong musty smell upon arrival but I believe owner is getting it remedied
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.
We had a great time in Cashiers! The cottage was perfect and such a great location to town! We enjoyed hiking at Whiteside Mountain and Rainbow Falls! Pam was a wonderful host and was always quick to respond to any questions! We definitely hope to return to Cashiers and this beautiful cottage!
Thank you, Pam, for sharing your awesome home with us. Immaculately clean, nicely updated, awesome landscape and setting. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot to spend some quality time with the family. Hope to return soon!
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!
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.
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 was a wonderful get away for my husband and I. The house was well appointed and decorated as cute as could be. We had never been to the area and fell in love with the place. Highly recommend.
