No text in this book other than the captions for the gorgeous photos. For the vast majority of working people, we will never have the million plus dollars necessary to afford homes like these, but it's great eye candy, and offers inspiration for what could be done on a much more realistic budget. This book symbolizes how some people in our society have too much money. Live simply so that others may simply live.

I was familiar with the builder of most of the cabins in this book. He is genius and it shows throughout this book.

If logs could talk there is no telling what sort of stories that they might tell about the folks that first used the logs featured in these incredible homes.You might say that this is the ultimate in "green" building because logs that were used in the construction of 100 plus year old houses are being recycled into modern day homes. The designs incorporated into these beautiful retreats give one the flavor of the early years of life on the frontier while utilizing energy efficient modern building techniques. Having seen a few examples of these "authentic" log homes, I would love to have one someday.

This is a beautifully photographed and illustrated Coffee Table book showing many of the wonderful "Antique Log Homes" built by Walden Log Homes. I have personal knowledge of several of these log homes and their owners, who are delighted with their unique homes in the mountains of NW Georgia. On a very personal level, our real estate office is constructed using 200 year old Walden Antique Logs that came from a barn and has places where the hair from the horse's tail is still stuck in the cracks of the logs. We constantly have folks stopping by to admire this unique structure and express a desire someday to have a home constructed using the Antique Logs.

This is a wonderfully photographed book written by someone who clearly loves authentic antique log homes. This book belongs on the coffee table of every antique log home lover.

This book has beautiful interior and exterior photographs of new homes built with old,old logs. Great ideas on decorating log homes, from western to camp-style to classic. I have bought dozens of log home books, and this one is the best.
