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.

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.

I own Tom's camping books and really value them. I bought this book to find cabins for me and my wife to get away to. This is covered in fairly good detail but I take exception to the inclusion of KOA camps that have cabins. I also did a quick web search for a cabin in the certain area and found several not mentioned in the book. While he doesn't claim this to be an exhaustive book I think more options should have been listed in certain areas. This is a good introduction and exposure to what's out there. But you need to do some personal digging to find your own gem possibly not mentioned here.

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!
