The Cabin

Inspiration for the Classic American Getaway

By Mulfinger, Dale & Davis, Susan R.

Publishers Summary:
Proving that less is more, The Cabin takes this idyllic retreat from mind's eye to reality -- with striking photographs and considerable charm. Simple, even primitive at times, the cabin is not just a roof over our heads, but a treasury of feelings, sensations, and memories. Readers who have no cabin memories very likely have cabin dreams. The Cabin looks at an amazing array of design styles and materials -- from sticks and stones to sheet metal and glass. The book invites readers to think of every cabin as unique, and less a shelter than a way of life. "The cabin is our heart's retreat," write the authors; and what a wonderful place to escape to! 37 inspirational cabins from all over the country are featured with nearly 250 photographs and 50 illustrations, detailed descriptions, site plans, and floor plans.
