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!

It was an amazing property! With even more amazing views!! My girlfriend and I loved every second of staying at this property! With its short drives to rock city garden, and Ruby Falls, it was PERFECT!
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.
We've stayed at a fair number of rental properties over the years but this might be our new favorite! The space is clean and incredibly well supplied (a charcoal grill!!) and charming in its layout. The hosts were super friendly and responsive. But the thing that tips this one over is the view. The pictures just can't do it justice. We felt like we were perched on the edge of the mountain. Nicely isolated from nearby houses, too. The walk up and down is a challenge - we're in our early 50s and were glad we took the hosts advice and packed light - but well worth it! It was a wonderful trip and I hope we make it back soon!
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!
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.
Quiet little cabin with a beautiful view of the mountains. It was split into two separate rooms, with covered outdoor stairs leading down to the bedroom with a nice deep tub and mounted tv. The bed was prepared with folded towels and a gift bag of toiletries. Upstairs room had a full kitchen with oven and stovetop, microwave, full size fridge, coffee maker, French press, and a dining table for two. Windows all across the back walls of both rooms meant you’ll always be catching glimpses of the mountains and scenery. Be prepared for a short hiking trail-type path to get from the parking to the property! But it definitely adds to the feeling of actually being up in the mountains. This house was the one furthest down the path, giving a truly clear view.
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.
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.
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
We had a great time staying here! View was amazing and we had everything we needed. Host was very quick to respond and was very kind and courteous. I think for anyone with mobility or trouble walking mountainous paths should consider a a different cabin as you do have to walk on a trail to get to the cabin. Wasn't much trouble for me and my friend but for someone who has trouble walking or hiking in general it might be a bit of a challenge. If you enjoy hiking in the mountains, and don't have any mobility issues the trail should be no problem and I would 100% recommend you stay.

Perfect getaway
My husband and I really needed a weekend away and Kotsu was a relaxing getaway.
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
