About the host
Hosted by Melissa Mossbarger
Originally from SW Florida, Tom and I moved here 25 years ago. We are both Realtors licensed in NC and GA. We enjoy this area for all of the outdoor activities it offers. We love to hike and kayak. We also enjoy spending time with our kids and 3 grandchildren. We LOVE to travel and explore new places. It's part of what drew us to hosting. We love staying in vacation rentals, so when the opportunity came up we purchased the tiny home and added it to our property! We love the idea of giving people what we experience when we travel. Adding the things we love about our hosts and trying to avoid those things we didn't like in our adventures. We hope it leads to a great experience for our guests!
Why they chose this property
The minute we stepped onto our property, we fell in love. The views of the mountains all around sealed it for us.
What makes this property unique
We sit up on top of a knoll with year-round mountain views, made even more spectacular when the leaves are off the trees! In the winter we can see the Little Tennesse wind through the valley.
