Overview of the Little Lost Valley Cottage

Take a closer look at this lovely cottage located in Summit Springs Ranch, Idaho. This restored space is a 700 square foot tiny cabin designed by Clark Stevens. The cottage design is also known as the Little Lost Valley cabin and was designed for the investment company Beartooth Capital. This business is built around finding neglected ranch properties, then restoring the structures, waterways, and lands, and later selling them often with conservation easements in place. Beartooth Capital bought the cottage and property in Idaho to the east of the Sawtooths, which had no legal road access, and then put together a deal with the Nature Conservancy. The tiny house design deal added another 623 acres to the land parcel and access right of way in exchange for setting aside 1,960 of the 3,783 total acres. The cottage is nothing short of amazing, and you will want to take a closer look.

Location and Surroundings

This stunning cottage is located between Ketchum and Jackson Hole, and the Little Lost Valley cabin has public lands all around it with national forest, BLM, and state protected land all around. The Summit Creek, which is a trout stream, runs right past the tiny cabin designs and just had two miles restored by Beartooth Capital. Right after the renovations were complete, there had already been in a rebound in the brookies and rainbow trouts repopulation. And with the next nearest building is five miles away, there's no one in sight. Everything about this cottage is beautiful from the scenic mountain backdrop to its all wood interior and exterior design. This tiny home design is rustic but has modern lighting fixtures and a spacious feel making it one of the best tiny house design you will see.

Design and Experience

The use of lots of windows throughout the cabin lets in the scenic views which are abundant in this beautiful location. Some of the smaller windows feel like nature photos, located perfectly to show the scenery all around. The front covered porch is a place you could spend plenty of time also enjoying the scenery and the fresh mountain air. The clawfoot tub is located in front of a window where you can also enjoy the scenery. This cottage design shows how design and location can intertwine to make the best tiny house design where you can enjoy some time away in a location you won't want to leave. With a location like this, you don't need a lot of space because your backyard goes on for days. The cottage interior design is well suited to its stunning location the two seem to be one with its natural materials and perfectly positioned windows.

The Benefits of Renovating Cottages

Cottages and cabins like this make great renovation projects instead of building or buying a brand new cottage. It may even save some money, in the long run, to build upon something that is already there instead of building something new. Plus, it's always nice to keep pieces of history wherever we go and to celebrate the structures that have stood the test of time this far.
