Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
With a focus on architecture and details, Ralph Kylloe introduces creative rustic designs that are reviving the age-old tradition of cabin craftsmanship. Included are newly built log and stone homes steeped in history, not only of the region where they are built but also of the log-building history of Scandinavian ancestors and mountain men whose small log cabins protected them from the harsh elements of the mountain frontier and gave them comfort by a cozy fire. Displaying photographic details of the highest-quality workmanship in stone masonry and log work, these homes also boast a blending of fine antiques and contemporary furnishings. Arts & Crafts, Scandinavian, and western legacies in furniture building and interior styling steal the scene in many rooms. These homes are rich in vision, beauty and warmth-photographed and framed by Ralph's keen eye for quality and richness.

Architect designed "cabins",
By E. Creekmore "artist, writer" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rustic Cabin: Design & Architecture (Hardcover)
This is a beautiful, expensive book with many photographs. It's title is very misleading as it implies a study of rustic cabins; it is actually of "great halls of lodges." Mr. Kylloe feels their basis is the Arts and Crafts movement's influence on their architects; however, the true rustic cabin began with early settlers' struggles to survive and build rude shelters from the ubiquitous forest crowding around them. The photographs are especially of items like "luxury top-of-the-line kitchen appliances" or "a highly ornate, 17th Century gold-gilded corner cupboard (which) rests in the dining room." I feel cheated by the title and description of "mountain men whose small log cabins -etc."

Misleading,
By Design Fan! (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rustic Cabin: Design & Architecture (Hardcover)
Look inside this book at a bookstore before you buy it. It is NOT about cabins but about huge lodges-log mansions, if you will.

The Rustic Cabin,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rustic Cabin: Design & Architecture (Hardcover)
I thought "The Rustic Cabin" was good but "Cabins and Camps" was by far a bigger feast for the eyes!! The selection of pictures were more of what I personally wanted to see.
