Rustic Elegance - Tapa dura

De la solapa interior

Exuding luxury and comfort, history and innovation, here are thirteen newly handcrafted log and stone homes that surpass all expectations of quality and creativity. All are the creations of Larry Pearson, AIA, who is recognized as a leader in rustic design. These luxurious cabins from Montana, Wyoming, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Minnesota and California are replete with hand-hewn logs, dry-stacked stone, artistic doors and staircases, and furnishings that meld modern convenience with age-old beauty.

These are homes where everything new is old again.
