Wayward Cottage – A Perfect Blend of Historic Charm and Modern Luxury in the Heart of Cashiers
Nestled in the heart of Cashiers, North Carolina, Wayward Cottage is a truly rare offering—originally built in 1946 and now exquisitely reimagined as a sanctuary of modern luxury and timeless charm. Every inch of this two-bedroom, two-bath cottage has been masterfully transformed with high-end designer finishes and thoughtful attention to detail.
Inside, original hardwood floors and vaulted wood ceilings with exposed beams evoke a sense of warmth and craftsmanship. Custom cabinetry, marble countertops, and heated bathroom floors add a layer of sophistication, while a luxurious soaking tub, tiled shower, and top-of-the-line Bertazzoni and Miele appliances provide a spa-like and chef-worthy experience. All systems have been upgraded, including new electrical, plumbing, insulation, fully encapsulated crawlspace, new hot water heater and paint—seamlessly blending vintage character with modern comfort.
Step outside and discover a wraparound covered porch, softly illuminated by a timeless copper gas lantern—a perfect setting for quiet mornings or relaxed mountain evenings. The firepit area invites cozy gatherings beneath the stars, and the charming garden shed, once an artist’s studio, showcases antique windows and endless potential for creative or practical use.
Just a short stroll from exceptional dining, fun-filled events at the Village Green, boutique shops, the local farmers market and your daily coffee at Buck’s, Wayward Cottage offers easy access to the very best of downtown Cashiers. And for added peace of mind, the home includes a Generac generator, offering comfort in every season. Designer furnishings are negotiable.
Wayward Cottage is more than a home—it’s a rare blend of past and present, of rustic elegance and modern refinement, set in one of North Carolina’s most treasured mountain communities.
