Rural Escapes: A Celebration of North American Country Homes

Bo Niles

Country homes have a long, poetic history in the American landscape, from the simple clapboard cottage on the lake to the modernist retreat by the ocean. Rural Escapes offers many glimpses of each, and of the log cabins and mountain hideaways in between. It is an invitation to American culture like none other. Contributing editor Bo Niles and a team of top interiors writers provide a wealth of insights into these glorious homes -- the places we go when we want to be ourselves.
