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.

About the host

Hosted by Timothy

Host profile image
We have invested in vacation rental properties and have over 25 years in providing memorable vacation experiences. We love and respect the locations where we have properties and enjoy the intersection of connecting our guests with them no matter the time of year.

Why they chose this property

Cattail Cottage is fully renovated inside and out with impeccable attention to connecting guests with their surroundings. The property location on its own lake with a unique ecology creates a setting to connect with nature while providing a short stroll to the center of Cashiers.

What makes this property unique

Cattail Cottage is a 2 bed / 2 full bath home located on its own private lake with 3.31 acres and yet an easy stroll to the center of Cashiers. The home is perfect two couples or a family of four. It is less ideal for babies, toddlers or anyone who may have difficulty navigating stone steps since the home is not handicap accessible.

We've used a professional landscape architect's talent to embrace the lake location in order connect guests with a unique ecosystem. From porch to patio with fire pit, dock with provided kayak, and "Camp Cattail" where you can prepare meals outside on the park-style grill with nearby picnic table as well as relax in the hammock. Sitting on the dock you can expect to observe turtles, fish, ducks, herons, and even a resident otter.
