The Getaway Home: Discovering Your Home Away from Home

Everyone dreams of the perfect getaway - the ultimate destination for exactly what you want to do in precisely the place you want to do it. Dale Mulfinger invites us into 24 remarkable houses designed and built for the pursuit of recreation. Organized according to four distinct outdoor settings - on the plains and in the hills, along the coast, in the mountains, and by lakes - The Getaway Home illuminates design requirements dictated by activities, environment, and site. With over 275 color photos, the book addresses the increasing popularity of recreational homes - both new and remodeled - for lively adults and families who place a high premium on the enjoyment of nature in a place they love to get away to.
