If I had a ton of money, and any artistic sense, I would have enjoyed this book more. As it was, it was a lot of pretty pictures of things I'll never do. (Apparently rustic does not mean the same thing to me as it did to the author.)

Lots of very nice cabins in this book. It is a good book to get ideas from.

Beautiful book. But this is not exactly rustic like most of us will pull off. This is custom, architect-designed rustic, to the tune of $n.x million..
But lovely to look at, nonetheless.
