Spreads Itself Too Thin,

This review is from: 239 Great Places to Escape to Nature Without Roughing It: From Rustic Cabins to Luxury Resorts (Special-Interest Titles) (Paperback)
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.

Any journeying within the U.S. will relish this gathering,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
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 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 listing includes multiple paragraphs describing the lodging, surrounding areas, price range, and outdoors services nearby.

Great places if you really want to get away from it all!,
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.

Great Book, Great Experience,
By Michjim (michigan) - See all my reviews
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.
