This 240 sq. ft. mountain hideout is a tiny house design guest post by Robert Olson
Building a secluded off grid cabin is a dream I share with many others. One of these days its gonna happen. Until that time comes, I enjoy sharing ideas.
Below is a 12 x 20 rough draft plan I put together. I call this plan the Mountain Hideout due to its intended remote location.
240 Sq. Ft. Mountain Hideout with 96 Sq. Ft. Loft

Text reads, “Rustic hideout for weekend getaway or resort cottage rental unit. Target market, outdoor adventurer age 30 or under. 1 1/2 story. French doors. Wood burning stove. Two triple windows, full bath with tube skylight above corner shower, loft ladder to cozy sleeping loft, and a kitchenette.
* Notice the 9 foot long triple windows opposite each other to bring in light, making small spaces feel big, and create outstanding views into the woods.
* The double french doors open outward, keeping small interior spaces more functional when doors are open on nice days.
* A cozy corner woodstove helps heat the cabin on cold days, and a love seat futon by the stove folds flat for a guest bed.
* A real closet for your clothes with full length mirrored doors, plus a broom closet swallows up mops and brooms to keep a tidy cabin.
* An 8 foot long kitchenette, compact but functional, has a window over the sink and a full length window at the wall. Option 2 for the large window at the kitchen wall could be a door to access an optional back deck.
* Features a REAL bath with corner shower with tubular skylight over shower.

LOVE THIS! Well thought out use of space.
When I was younger, I wouldn’t have minded the loft (still wouldn’t, on a temporary basis), but these days I would like to see a single level version that would eliminate the loft and put the bedroom down on the ground floor.
For those of us who are….over 30. =)
12 X 20 log cabin kit with 8 x 12 sleeping loft , railing , ladder , 4 ft front porch with railing , all tongue and groove 2″ floor , ceiling , walls , loft . Pressure treated front porch. All hardware , windows , door, roofing and insulation for roof only.
$7999.00 plus delivery Assembly available on level site.
Did I miss the builder’s name somewhere? Are there photos of a built cabin online?
Many thanks!
Does this include the french doors and two sets of 9′ windows?
The offer of a log cabin, 12 x 20. Please email me the info about this. My wife and I are looking at our options to build a tiny cabin on land we have.
Thanks,

I like this design, as well. However, for the “over 30” group, I’d eliminate the porch, except for maybe 2 feet, move everything forward, and put a bedroom in the rear past the kitchen/bath area. Use the loft for storage or whatever. A porch can always be added/extended later if this is going to be set up on a perm. site. Price is very reasonable. I’m sure there will be some takers on this one. Very nice design.
I never thought about that. Do you think the porch is included in the 20′ part?
Either way, good catch! =)
No – the description said that the kitchenette was eight feet long – if that’s so, then the twenty feet length is entirely in the enclosed portion, and the porch is extra, assuming, of course, that the floor plan is to scale.
Dean, the front deck is not part of the 20′.
Pam, this is an expandable design by replacing the kitchen window on the back wall with a doorway to a bedroom added on the back.
Have to agree with the loft vs age. at 65 climbing isn’t high on my list. I envy those who still can. I notice so many tiny house plans put a sink in the bath. When squeezing life into 96 to 200 sq ft, I ask why? There is a sink in the kitchen only two more steps away. I don’t know about you, but even at 65 I’m still not that messy.
Many building codes require a sink in the bathroom. I agree with you though. 🙂
VERY NICE!!!
Bookmarked this one!
Very functional! For those with concerns about climbing a ladder to access the sleeping space, lets not forget that there are plenty of loveseats/small couches that pull out to make a twin or full sized bed!
I agree to dropping the porch , add a bedroom and keep the loft for extra sleep area .
The porch is not part of the square footage. This house is drawn as a studio loft, with an expandable design to add a bedroom to the back if you desire.
