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 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.

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.

Mountain stay

Views are breathtaking. Property is secluded and surrounded by nature. It’s especially beautiful in the evening with the string lights on the pathway, like something out of a fairytale

Sweet hideaway

Love the simple clean design, the views-there is a perfect sunset over the mountains, and is just an overall great place to put away phones and relax
