5.0 out of 5 stars Love the outdoors but tired of sleeping on the ground, April 19, 2002

By A Customer

This is the book I've been looking for! My husband and I like to hike, fish, and generally hang out in beautiful places...and sometimes we just don't want to sleep on the ground or pack a car-load of camping equipment. This book tells me where we can get our outdoor fix and a bed. We know Northern California well but there's lots of places that we didn't know about covered in this guide. The ratings and activity icons make it easy to see how plush or funky the cabin is and what are the nearby outdoor activities. This would be a good gift for Mother's Day or Father's Day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resourse, August 27, 2002

By	Tharen Hodges (Oroville, California United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this book to be an excellent resource. Not only does it provide a wealth of information about available cabin and cottage rentals in northern California, but it provides concise and helpful information concerning recreational opportunities available near each cabin or cottage. I found the book to be well written, easy reading and very user friendly, and I was astounded to learn that there are so many cabins and cottages available for rent in neat places. If you enjoy more privacy than is afforded in motels and bed and breakfasts, you need to own this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now I want to meet them, May 17, 2003

By	Robert Gordon (Belmont, CA) - See all my reviews

This is a sensational book! I don't want to sleep on the ground. I want a bed and privacy. My husband wants to go fishing and golf. This book gives us the opportunity to do trips together and make both of our desires come true. So far we've tried three of the cottages, and they were just as Stephani & Tom said they were. Sounds like they have the dream life!
