About this property

Japanese timberframe tiny house perched on side of Lookout Mountain

A winding wooded trail leads down to Kotsu, a whimsical miniature, perched above rural Lookout Valley. Entering through shou sugi ban front doors, you'll find a full kitchen, living area, and powder room on the main level. Inspired by Japanese nature-inclusive designs, a covered exterior stair leads down to the bedroom and a spacious master bath. The fragrance of the cedar timbers, simple luxuries, and intentional flow of the design will put your mind at rest. Come stay!

Great little getaway!

We had a horrible experience flying into the area, but as soon as we pulled up to house that all melted away. We enjoyed the scenery and spent a bit of time on the deck outside. We would come back in a heartbeat!

Great Getaway

was a great place to escape for a few days during the busy holidays! Loved the views and feel of being on the side of the mountain! Went to Rock City, which was close by but besides there stayed, cooked and hung out at this awesome little place.

Amazing little quaint tiny home

Kotsu is a beautiful little tiny home with great views of the valley. One thing that stood out...the bath tub, very nice! Recommend staying here for a relaxing, peaceful vacay.

Cozy stay

We fell in love the themed deco from the listing. Once we arrived and saw it in person we cancelled all plans of hiking in the area and we locked ourselves in for the weekend. We had the best time.

One of the most unique experiences we've had in the mountains! Quaint, clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the stay. Tips:*you cannot see the property from the road and the sign with the address is only visible if you are coming from the north of scenic highway. Look for a gravel parking pad with a mailbox/ road marker on left and a wooden trash box on right. *the trail to the cabin is a nice little short hike in itself. Downhill to get there/uphill to get to your car- not ideal for an elderly couple needing support, but we loved the adventure , the cabin is situated in the middle of 3*the tub is gorgeous and deep but I assumed it was also a shower- it is only a tub with a handheld sprayer- as a "shower person" I made it work*the bed is quite soft and cozy on a 2-3 inch elevated surface mimicking a rug, so be aware to take the tiny step up

Beautiful but..

Super cool Japanese style cottage with beautiful views. Two issues prevented 5 star rating. First it is a bit of a hike down a steep dirt and rock path to the cabin from the parking, not for the mobility impaired for sure. Second, the mattress in the bedroom left much to be desired.
