The reduced living costs, freedom, and flexibility tiny houses afford undeniably make compact living an attractive proposition, but the environmental benefits are perhaps even more compelling for eco-conscious folks. The use of sustainable building materials, such as reclaimed wood, recycled metal, and eco-friendly insulation, lowers a home's carbon footprint and makes a positive contribution to the environment.
By downsizing your lifestyle and choosing to live in a tiny home like Mossyrock Rollingstone, you can not only reduce your environmental impact but also make a powerful statement. This gorgeous tiny house was built by Stanley Tiny Homes in Portland, Oregon, and is one of those designs that harmoniously blend luxury and sustainability, which is exactly what the modern homeowner wants nowadays.
Mossyrock Rollingstone looks stunning even from a distance. It instantly catches your eye with its ombre yellow/orange siding and custom stained glass windows. Moreover, the black window trim and two-tiered metal gable roofing enhance its charming curb appeal.
Built on an Iron Eagle dual-axle trailer, this tiny home is 24 feet long and 8.5 feet wide and can sleep up to five people in its 274-square-foot interior, including the lofts. Thanks to its thoughtful design, it would make a great second home or primary residence, but it can also be used as a vacation cabin or Airbnb rental.
The interior of the house is truly magical with its rustic look and warm, cozy ambiance that instantly makes you feel like you're inside a log cabin in the woods. Various architectural features make it special and unique, such as the vaulted arched cedar plank ceilings, custom wood paneling with plenty of windows to enjoy the views, alternate tread ladders with industrial-style metal pipe handrails leading to the lofts, and stamped tin tile backsplash in the kitchen.

The custom stained glass windows are also a highlight of this design, representing a creative way to add character and boost the home's aesthetic. The natural light passing through the colored glass is enhanced and makes the interior bright and luminous without compromising privacy.
The abundance of woodwork throughout the house highlights its rustic appeal while also giving it a premium look. The solid oak flooring and beautiful stained wood ceiling tie everything together, while the white shiplap paneling on the walls prevents the abundant woodwork from appearing too heavy.
The interior layout is also unique and well-thought-out to make the most of the available square footage and maximize functionality. It comprises an open-plan living and kitchen area, a bathroom, and a snug alcove on the main level, as well as two sleeping lofts.

Instead of putting a large living room on the ground floor, the designers chose to split the area between a compact lounge and an intimate alcove that can be used as a downstairs sleeping area that does not require the use of a ladder. It fits a full mattress for sleeping two adults, but it can also be furnished with cushions if you want to use it as a day seating area.
Captain's style drawers and a trapdoor compartment under the alcove provide plenty of storage space, and a full-height closet next to it is perfect for hanging clothes.
The adjacent living room has just enough room for a love seat or settee, and it seamlessly communicates with the kitchen, which occupies the center of the house.
They say that if you want your kitchen to stand out, the backsplash is a great place to begin. Mossyrock Rollingstone's kitchen certainly won't go unnoticed, as it is genuinely distinctive with its stamped tin tile backsplash that beautifully complements the cherry wood cabinetry and the solid walnut butcherblock countertops with a hard wax finish. Windows on both sides of the kitchen ensure the space gets enough natural light during the day, while recessed LED lighting in the ceiling and two lighting fixtures make it equally luminous in the evening.

The cooking space is also fully functional thanks to a built-in two-burner induction cooktop, a stainless steel range hood with exhaust fan, a stainless steel sink, a retro-style microwave, and a 7 cu. ft. stainless steel refrigerator/freezer.
This tiny home has not one but two sleeping lofts that add approximately 70 square feet of living space. They can be accessed via custom ladders and are typical tiny house lofts with low headroom. The larger one can accommodate two people on a full mattress, while the smaller loft fits a twin mattress.
Finally, the bedroom inside this dwelling has been designed with the same exceptional craftsmanship as the rest of the house and boasts a spa-like appearance due to the natural cedar planks on the walls, the gorgeous cedar vanity with solid walnut live-edge countertop, and round lighted mirror with anti-fog feature. A teal glass vessel sink adds a pop of color and acts as the visual centerpiece of this space.
With this charming tiny home on wheels, Stanley Tiny Homes proves that they are experts at crafting compact dwellings that are equally gorgeous and sustainable. The Mossyrock Rollingstone model is currently for sale out of Portland with a $115,000 asking price.
