Outstanding photographs

I have been searching for books for months now that would give me real life examples of cabin type homes to use in designing my country home. While there are a lot of books out there on small cabins, I was looking for a book that showed examples that I could incorporate into a larger home. This book is exactly what I was looking for! The photographs are beautiful and truly capture some of the key elements that make these homes special. The author has managed to find some of the best examples out there of truly beautiful, well designed log/natural material homes.In addition to the photographs, the narative is also quite entertaining. It helps the reader understand some of the thinking that went into the creation of these great spaces.If you are looking for a very enjoyable book with wonderful pictures of a vast collection of cabins (both small and large), then this is the book you have been looking for! I know it was for me; I already have dozens of ideas that I plan on incorporating into my, not so small, cabin. Enjoy!

Great Photos

I strongly recommend anyone who has any interest at all in having their home resemble a lodge, cabin, north woods style to grab this book. I open this and look at the color photos constantly and share it with my friends. Tons of ideas!

Best of Genre

One of the best I have purchased in this genre. Inspiring,educational and entertaining. Beautiful photography and excellent, detailed descriptions of adirondack/cabin/log/lodge style properties. Gave a copy to a relative building a Montana lodge style home who found it the most useful of all the books she had read! Highly recommend! One you will want in your library.

WOW

This book is the stuff dreams are made of....I want to run away from it all with the man of my dreams and live in one of these wonderful cabins. ~BIG SIGH~ The color photography is rich...and the variety and originality of each abode invokes feelings of coming home safe and snug.
