Surratt takes us on the journey of giving new life to this cabin, from moving it across two states, to uncovering its past lives. Surratt shows you how she achieved her goal of creating a guest cottage in about three months and on a budget around $300. You are there from the beginning, when it is loaded on the trailer, to enjoying all four seasons in the finished cottage.

i have only been there once, but costa rica is my all time fave getaway. my husband and i are hoping to go again one day- we stayed in little bungalows overlooking lakes and mountains and it was just amazing! the local people are friendly, and it is a beautiful place to enjoy the outdoors, fresh food, and spend time with someone you love!
What a lovely book! One of my favorite getaway places are the mountains (anywhere in the world)! That reminds me: I need another vacation!

How interesting book! I will enter...

what a transformation. People amaze me.
I spent a year abroad in college, and no place I visited was as relaxing and wonderful as Sicily. Unfortunately, international travel isn't in my budget these days, so I love to live vicariously through the photos of others!
I'm reading this now. It is great.
lake como, specifically Bellagio, has been our favorite vacation thus far. hands down. no competition. i doubt it will ever be beat. what's not to love about mountains, lush gardens, a lake, and palm trees all in one spot!
I love going to a rustic family cabin in the North Georgia mountains or a little condo on St. Simons Island. The change in scenery and the lack of cell phone service makes both places wonderful.
Hawaii is an amazing get away for me. Too bad it is so far away from the East Coast!
What an interesting looking book.
I love to go to the Wine Country of California.
I just haven't been in a long time due to the economy and a medical issue.

I have so many favourite vacation destinations but I would have to say Kauii - beautiful beaches, great hiking trails and you can drive around the whole island - it's that small.
I've never heard of this... hope I win.
Favorite getaway spot- probably Sun Valley, Idaho.
This sounds like such a neat book. It is hard to choose my favorite getaway spot, but one is Lake Oconee in Greensboro, Ga.
I have to say it is a tie between Charleston and the Blue Ridge Mountains! I love them both!
Humm, that is hard! For a quick get trip Tofino, British Columbia and or an extended stay Maui for sure!!!
this is remarkable! i love it!! thank you!!
Our favorite getaway is usually camping with my family and grandparents.
We like to go to different areas around Iowa and explore what each place has to offer.
Thanks!

Nothing beats a quiet lakeside getaway!
What a cute little cottage.
Favorite getaway: anywhere. No place in particular... as long as it's away from my everyday norm I'm happy.
Costa Rica or Italy will be my gataway :)
Favorite getaway is our cabin at a high mountain lake in Oregon. It is small and compact and everything we need. I often return from a trip there to question why we live in the big house that we do.
Thank you so much for writing this blog. I enjoy looking at the images everyday and have found inspriration in the photos for our renovation.
We have more than one favorite place to visit, first on the list is:
1. Our own home where we can relax and do pretty much all that we want-watch movies, swim at the local pool and grill out. We just are not near the beach nor the mountains.
2. An island community along the gulf coast where we can walk to the beach, swim in the pool in the backyard and walk to a wonderful seafood shack to eat wonderful food and fish in the bay. We just hope that the oil does not damage anymore areas.
3. Hawaii
4. Hopefully our family renovation that is a 1959 ranch that is my husbands original home. We want it to be a vacation spot for us and others when complete. It is only 20 minutes away and so cozy.
MY favorite getaway is Venice in Italy.
Oh what an awesome giveaway! My favorite place to escape to is anywhere with water and sun. For some reason, I always free my mind and forget about all my worries when I'm in such a free and beautiful place.
Looks like a great inspirational book. I love small and quaint. The best getaway I've ever had was to Mendocino, CA. Absolutely breathtaking scenery, and wonderful wine. mmmmm, wishing I was there right now!

What an amazing cottage! Our favorite get away is Puerto Rico. It holds a special place in our hearts-not only was it our first vacation together, it was also where my fiance proposed :)
My favorite little get away is our family cabin on 10 acres that my dad built by himself!
Well, I wish it was that very modest cottage. But, since I'm not that lucky....I can't wait to return to South Padre Island, TX.
Oh, man, my mom would love this. One of her friends actually restored a log cabin, which she uses for vacationing. :-)
Favorite getaway location: I'm a city gal, so I love Toronto, Canada.
Thank you very much for the giveaway!

gorgeous cabin. Favorite getaway..hiking thru the woods to a beautiful waterfall. Last hike we did was to Rose Valley Falls. Loved it
What an amazing cabin, I would love a challenge like that, looks like heaps of fun!
One of my fave getaway destinations would be France, was there ten years ago, and would love to take my Hubby there one day!

My boyfriend and I went to a random small town, it wasn't so much where we went but it was being with him and enjoying our time off together. It all depends on who your with.
i love going to the adirondacks thanks for the giveaway minsthins at optonline dot net
Favorite getaway? Rome!
I love the berkshires of New hampshire...

Oh my goodness, I would LOVE this book! We've just bought our first house - a quaint Victorian fixer-upper that we are planning to remodel. I'd love to steal some of her ideas!
One of my favorite getaway locations is Langkawi, an island off the northwest coast of Malaysia (my home country). We honeymooned there (at The Datai - the villas are highly recommended!) and loved the island so much that we returned 4 years later for another short break (and stayed at Bon Ton Resort - I could live there!)
Thank you for a lovely giveaway!
Wonderful giveaway! I love the beach or the lake anytime, brings back inspiration and rejuvenation.

I love this cottage, especially the green and white exterior. It is so similar to the cabins on Peaks Island, ME, our favorite place to go with our kids.

My favorite place is anywhere there is a spa, a great view, a comfy bed, and fine room service with a good wine list.

wow, very interesting! My fav getaway location is my hometown - have not been there for ages and it is so beautiful and old in the Dolomites/Austria.
my favorite getaway would be a quiet mountain cabin but with great shopping not too far away. the book looks so interesting!
I would love this for my niece who is just getting married (in August) and who will need all the help she can get.
My favorite vacation spot is Gatlinburg in the Smokey Mountains.
