"LODGE is a beautiful reminder to go somewhere rustic with spotty wifi once in a while."
“This is a truly exceptional book, lushly photographing 10 historic lodges across America. The feel of each lodge is beautifully presented in both photographs and captions — it's like being able to visit the lodge in person and just walk around and enjoy the sights. This isn't really about the history of the buildings so much as a celebration of what you would find if you stayed there today. As a coffee table book, you can't get much better than this. In all, I lovingly made my way through this book and took my time just exploring and enjoying the images. The words never intruded and the one-page lodge introductions were casual, amusing, and inviting. If anything, I would have wished for 10 more lodges in the same book, it was that good. Well worth the read for a beautiful part of American history.”
