Product Description

10 x 12 in, 256 pp, 300 Color Photographs, Rights: W, Design
Cabins and Camps offers an intimate view of mountain homes and log cabins from New York's Adirondacks to the coast of California. Never before photographed, these rustic retreats aim for the perfect balance between luxurious American home and comfortable isolated getaway. Many of the homeowners are advocates of contemporary rustic artists, and their homes feature handcrafted one-of-a-kind furniture pieces. Cabins and Camps includes a full gallery of extraordinary new rustic creations from a handful of the top rustic artists in America today. This book illustrates just what a little "hideaway" in the mountains can become-a place of natural honesty, refuge, and peace.
Ralph Kylloe received his Ed.D. from Boston University and has taught at the university level for many years. He is a leading authority on rustic furniture, and owner of the Ralph Kylloe Gallery at Lake George in New York's Adirondack Mountains. His previous books include Rustic Artistry for the Home, Rustic Traditions, Cabin Collectibles, and Rustic Furniture Makers.

Had some very interesting cabins. Liked the work. Something very original to have sit on your coffee table for when people come over.
A LITTLE TOO RUSTIC April 4, 2008

I enjoyed this book but found it a little too rustic; kind of over-the-top for the average rustic aficionado. The same styles were repeated over and over with little variation.

Eileen English (Woodland, CA United States)
Beautiful coffee table book. The pictures are large and there are many of them. The focus of the book was on the Adirondack style mostly and birch Adirondack style furniture.

This book is a banquet for the eyes. The reader feasts upon the visuals and is drawn into the rooms, the homes, and one can almost smell the wood.
The author knows his subject and shares it well. I keep my copy on the coffee table in the living room as a wonderful accent to the room.
It reads well and I am intrigued as to who the owners might be of the wonderful houses, homes, structures. Privacy is very important, but that is my only "complaint" with the book. I would like to know who the owners are. It would seem more personal.
The book is wonderful.

This is by far the best cabin/camp book I own! Pages and pages of gorgous camps and cabins with wonderful decorating. I own many rustic decorating books and this is tops!! All Ralph Kylloes books are great but this one is the best! The pictures of inside all the beautiful camps and cabins is a true feast for the eye! I look at this book at least once a week and never tire of the homes and always put the book down with more ideas on how to make my home more rustic and adirondack/camp like. I can't imagine if you are a person that is into camp decorating that you would ever be disatisfied-it is truely the best of its kind!!
