 The perfect builders' guide April 25, 2000
26 out of 26 found this review helpful
Straightforward instructions and beautiful, informative drawings will help you build dozens of great back-country shelters. Designs include sheds, arbors, lean-tos, huts, cabins, tree houses and even a design for a floating cabin.
 Good book - But no inspiring Photos within April 25, 2000

This is a good book overall and goes into enough detail. The drawing are all hand drawn and there are ZERO photo's of the different projects. This is disappointing as it is much easier to envision what the final cabin etc.. would look like if there were photos.

We have enjoyed all the Stileses garden house/project books and consulted "Sheds" when we were planning our own shed. We especially appreciated the step by step instructions and clear drawings. We were still deliberating over plans when we saw "Rustic Retreats" in a book club ad and we ran all over greater Seattle looking for it. We must have bought the first copy in Washington. We proceeded to build the cover garden house in the fall of '98, finishing the shingles this summer. It was originally intended to be a storage shed but was so wonderful that we added chairs and a bed. It was our first building project and what a treat!
Excellent! December 1, 1999

Not only interesting to read, but the drawings make the projects easy to follow while keeping the writing clear and concise without any extraneous information. This terrific book has inspired me to find the perfect piece of land to build my own little vacation getaway.

the drawings in this text are very detailed yet artful. the prose is kept simple without much extra unnecessary information. the authors leave ample room to improvise on your own, but you could certainly follow the instructions to the letter and finish up with just what is described. the designs in this book are so varied you will very likely find a structure that appeals to you. apart from the designs, the building techniques and materials described are so varied, that many can be interchanged for most of the structures described. i found myself flipping back and forth and was inspired to use elements of multiple designs in just one structure. a very well done and handsome book!
