Product Description
The editors of Outside magazine present outstanding wilderness lodges worthy of its millions of active, loyal readers.

This user-friendly vacation guide details the outdoor adventures, accommodations, cuisine, and more at over 100 wilderness lodges from Alaska's Kenai Peninsula to the isles of the Caribbean. Far from the rat race of urban life, these special places offer more than a physical escape. They're retreats for anyone who considers an afternoon on the trail or in a kayak or climbing a peak to be the ultimate indulgence.

With a wide range of prices and locations?from the rustic, upstate New York lodge where climbers congregate between ascents, to the exclusive, fly-in-only Alaskan luxury resort that has hosted former presidents?the guide contains something for everyone. Lodges are arranged by geographic region and state, but indexes allow readers to browse by activity, price range, family-friendliness, pet policy, or special programs. What all the lodges have in common is a service ethic and attention to detail that have earned them a reputation for excellence. 50 black-and-white illustrations, 32 pages of color.

3 out of 5 stars Not what I wanted thought   March 9, 2006
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

It was a helpful and informative book, but it didn't contain as many lodges as I thought it would have and the info wasn't as extensive on the lodges it had.

This book offers an excellent and large selection of destinations and provides ample information about them. I would wish for a greater number of unusual entries, however, those uncovered with more depth of searching. As destination ideas, these entries are not difficult to obtain on one's own.


5 out of 5 stars finally, a guidebook that makes you laugh   November 4, 2004
  4 out of 5 found this review helpful

This is a guide for the fun loving, adventurous traveler who is looking for a comfy place to crash. I have already been to 3 of the places listed in California and the guide was accurate, honest and easy to use.
