Summary: Simple living in simply wonderful spaces
Comment: This book, like "The New Cottage Home", takes you on a tour of homes that reflect a particular lifestyle as much--if not more--than a particular home style. In the small homes featured here, that lifestyle is one of rustic retreat and recreation. For us cottage-folk, these little houses may be a bit coarse, but they are filled with great ideas for living simply and efficiently in a small and delightful space. The book lives up to Taunton's reputation for superb photography and extensive explanatory text.

Summary: Wishing for someplace to get away TO
Comment: It was a little disconcerting to see that the maximum-size threshold the authors set for the cabins covered in this book was actually a fair deal larger than the home I live in full-time now. But nevertheless, I was able to enjoy this look at intriguing and often innovative designs for getaway living. The color photos are frequently beautiful, and the authors also helpfully include layout designs for the cabins' interiors as well as illustrations of how the cabins fit onto the owners' land. The text tells the stories of the individual cabins and their owners, and also has useful insights on the process of planning and building these kinds of structures.
People who have, or plan to have, getaway retreats of their own will probably find much inspiration, as well as many good ideas, here. And even those of us who don't have a cabin of our own, now or in the foreseeable future, can always imagine ourselves in one of these great homes and locales (I dibs the one on page 160).

Summary: Review of the book: The Cabin
Comment: This book is must-read for anyone who has experienced or would like to experience second-home living. It has a wonderful presentation about it, with great pictures, text and site illustrations. The diversity of the many different styles and settings for these cabins makes it a real pleasure to read as well as a great reference source to inspire the reader to his and her own creations. I highly recommend it and find that Amazon.com offers it at the best value available.
