We loved the cozy feel of the home with all of its amenities. We enjoyed exploring the property and taking in the views of the mountains and the stream. It stayed very warm inside while the temperature dipped below freezing on the morning of our departure.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the mountains, the cabin was perfect for our needs. Small and cozy, confortable and clean. Let us focus on our daily adventures and be welcomed in the evening with a grill, small fire and restful sleeep.

We really enjoyed our visit to Mossy Falls. It was very relaxing and peaceful. The home was the perfect mountain getaway. We were a little confused by the bathroom amenities since there was a bidet, equipped with a remote control, but it wasn't hooked up?. The toilet was perfectly serviceable anyway. We felt right at home with the full-sized refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher. We loved our visit and would definitely book Mossy Falls again when we visit Cullowhee.

Booked due to convenience to WCU, here for family weekend with our grandson. This turned out to be a nice surprise. Close enough yet far enough away. Enjoyed the seclusion of the home. Love the fire pit. The road up to the unit made me nervous, but we got there but.survived

Super nice home
First time in a tiny house. Was so comfortable! The master bed was huge and very comfy! Driveway up to the house was a little dodgy for my large truck but a couple 2 to 5 point turns and I was golden! Over all, loved the stay! Would do again!

My family and I absolutely loved our stay! Truth be told many of our boxes lit up before we even booked! The sweet cabin seemed perfect for our little family. Upon arrival, Mossy Falls stole our hearts. The craftsmanship blew us away. The property itself was beautiful and offered an adventure each day. The cabin could not have been more perfect and offered myself, my spouse and our son personal quality time and family quality time. The fire pits, the 2 closed in porches and outdoor dining table encouraged us to settle down after a full day of traveling around the area. We would plan our upcoming day and finalize the schedule before bedtime. We actually made it a point to have a rest day so we could thoroughly enjoy our tiny cabin. The area surrounding the cabin offered incredible views, fun trails and small towns with great shopping, food and breweries.
We hope we are able to book again in the future and have shared this rental to many friends and family members

Thank you for taking such great care of our home! We love to hear that you enjoyed your stay! Come back anytime.
House was clean and nice, but the amenities were lacking. Only a partial roll of toilet paper and no extra roll for a 3 night stay. The bidet had power, but no other functions worked and there were no instructions. No tissues and only 1 broken tiny soap bar along with 1oz bath wash and 1 oz shampoo. Hardly enough for 2 adults for 3 days. No hair dryer! Realizing it is secluded, it still would have been nice to have some kind of curtain on at least the bathroom window. The instructions to cabin were poor. The “purple marked posts” were at least 20 yards off the main road and hidden in shadows of trees; purple paint faded into wood. Mailbox and small little house would have been better marker. Road to cabin was terrible. Deep wash outs in some places and heavy overgrowth in much of the road making driving difficult and potentially dangerous. Suggested 5 mph was too fast in some places, but needed more than 2 mph to get up steep incline. Another heavy rain will cause more washout damage to the road and potentially much more dangerous. The road conditions need to be clarified in the description and a much better explanation on how to find this “driveway.” Our SUV was high enough off the ground to make the drive, but a car might have had trouble especially in the deeper washout sections which made the road more narrow.

Some unexpected inconveniences
I was excited to say in this super cute tiny home, but there were several things that made my stay here less than ideal. . . The first was the water pressure, which was so low that I couldn't even wash my hair, much less properly rinse the soap from my body. The bed also posed a problem——while it was well-dressed and clean, the king mattress is essentially two twin mattresses pushed together, and as the night went on, the mattresses slid apart from one another, making a fairly uncomfortable gap between them. I suppose this might be okay if one is sleeping alone, but if you come with a partner, it makes sleeping next to one another next to impossible. The final concern is one more pressing as it has to do with safety. I messaged you about this the last day, and that is the switchback at the top of the drive was so muddy that it made driving quite a challenge. My car got stuck twice, and it made coming back in the evening kind of harrowing. I certainly don't mean to complain and don't want to post this publicly, but I was awfully disappointed, especially as much as it cost me to stay there for two nights. I live in nearby Asheville and think perhaps I should have just driven back home on the nights I was at the conference.
