5.0 out of 5 stars Any journeying within the U.S. will relish this gathering
A further addition to the title in the form of a subtitle stating 'Within the USA' would keep travelers from anticipating a world-wide coverage of such nature spots: be that was it may, any journeying within the U.S. will relish this gathering of romantic lodges, cabins, out-of-the-way scenic park areas and more. Don't expect a single paragraph of description here: each...

2.0 out of 5 stars Spreads Itself Too Thin
The book is a good idea that disappoints. By covering all 50 states plus all the Canadian provinces, there is very little for each state. Typically, a state gets 2 to 4 entries. This concept might work better in a set of regional guide books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great places if you really want to get away from it all!, October 28, 2006
This review is from: 239 Great Places to Escape to Nature Without Roughing It: From Rustic Cabins to Luxury Resorts (Special-Interest Titles) (Paperback)
A very interesting book. Some of the places are REALLY isolated. I'm always a little bit cautious about being so cut off from civilization, in case of a medical emergency. However, if you are young and healthy, the book is filled with great ideas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, Great Experience, September 15, 2009

This review is from: 239 Great Places to Escape to Nature Without Roughing It: From Rustic Cabins to Luxury Resorts (Special-Interest Titles) (Paperback)
I've had the book for a little over a year and have thoroughly enjoyed planning potential trips. I am sitting on a patio right now at Murphin Ridge Inn in West Union, OH and after 6 days here I can't believe what a great trip it has been. It is one thing to read a book and another to try out what it is suggesting. I pulled this choice out of the pages because I liked the description and my wife and I were looking for a romantic, private getaway for our 25th anniversary. Murphin Ridge Inn has exceeded our expectations and now I doubt we will try any of the others in the book because we love this place so much, but I have to believe the research was well done in all cases.
