Description:



Exuding luxury and comfort, history and innovation, here are 13 newly handcrafted log and stone homes

that surpass all expectations of quality and creativity.



Beautifully photographed, this is a terrific reference for those interested in rustic interior design.



Review:



Do you ever wish you lived in a log cabin? These houses are the deluxe or creame of the crop of not only a log cabin, but any style of house.



The craftsmanship shown is extraordinary. If I wanted to go native, these are the places I would love to go and stay at. The majestic beauty of these natural materials and designs is breathtaking. Each house is a work of art more than just a place to live. But be warned, for the ordinary person, these homes are just a dream.



The book outlines each home and points out the decorative details. I really appreciated the architecture and photography.



Buy this book if you want cabin envy and an excellent reference book for design.
