Visit Avalanche Ranch, nestled in a calm corner of the Idaho Rockies; Big Hole River Ranch in the wilds of Montana; a 1910 Scandinavian-style log home reassembled and embellished with handcrafted details; an Adirondacks "tear-down" completely remodeled and fitted for new life as a lakefront hideaway; a minimalist upstairs apartment outfitted with an intriguing collection of Native American, western, and Arts & Crafts antiques.
