”It is the marriage of the soul with Nature that makes the intellect fruitful, and gives birth to imagination.” Henry David Thoreau

fourth return to Walden
I first stayed at the Walden cabin in December 2020, and it was just magical in the snow. I returned in 2021, 2022 and now in 2023. I like the chill and quiet of December for each trip. My dog and I love our thrice-daily walks to the river, and the hot tub is so relaxing before bed, breathing in the 35 degree air while poaching in the 100 degree water. And the millions of stars to be seen, far from the city lights. The cabin is just perfect for me. Spotlessly clean and nicely laid out. The kitchen could use a few more Corningware-type casseroles for heating up leftovers, though. Derek was immediately responsive when I had trouble negotiating the TV settings or with a few other questions, as he has been in the past. Looking forward to hopefully returning in December 2024!

I surprised my wife for our anniversary and I have to say it was everything I was looking for. Cabin was very clean, updated and well maintained. It was secluded with a beautiful mountain view with easy access to Rt340. If your looking for a romantic getaway I definitely recommend the Walden Cabin.

Anniversary Bliss
We’ve been visiting the Shenandoah Valley for our anniversary for many years now and this was by far our favorite place to stay. It was clean, appeared freshly painted, furniture was in excellent condition, and the decor matched the vibe of the house/property without being excessive. The view and privacy awarded by the property allowed us to escape our responsibilities and fully relax and enjoy our time together. We will definitely be looking to book this cabin again on our next visit!

40th anniversary
My wife and I booked the Walden cabin for our 40th anniversary. Our first reaction on entering the cabin was "WOW"! The cabin is very nice, nicely decorated and well equipped. The peace and quiet we enjoyed there was welcome. A short walk to the river there are chairs where we sat and reminisced about our lives and talked about future plans while the river flowed past provided much serenity. The hot tub is also a very nice touch. Looking out over the fields where we saw several deer. The bed is comfortable and provided a good night's sleep. This is one cabin that we would love to return to in the near future. Our thanks to Derek and Olga for making our stay one to remember for a long time. David and Carol S.

Awesome place
Walden is a peaceful sanctuary ideally located between Front Royal and Luray, and minutes to Shenandoah NP…54 riverfront acres provided seclusion and privacy, along with beautiful views. Remember to bring bedding and towels… we were surprised by this omission, but rectified at the local Walmart in Luray… Overall, a wonderful getaway on the Shenandoah Valley

Amazing location to relax and unwind.
Great spot to take your dogs for a walk and unwind by the river. Perfectly located between Lurray & Front Royal. Cabin has everything you need to relax and get away from life for a bit. Property is clean, well maintained, and help is only a message away if you should need assistance. They even have a river walk set up for the guests to help you unwind and enjoy the views along the Shenandoah river. In my opinion this property deserves more than 5 stars!

A little piece of Heaven
First, the pictures shown do not render the cabin justice. It is bigger and better than you think, and clean. Everything is there to enjoy a perfect time. Isolated, lots of wildlife (bunnies and dears grazing feets from the property), quiet, perfect. 10/10, i recommend if you need to get away from the stress of everyday life.

Tranquil Summer Get Away
We spent four nights at this cabin in order to visit the Shenandoah National Park. The location was ideal, with easy access to the park from multiple entrances on the west side. The cabin was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Derek was friendly, helpful, and responded quickly to questions. We walked down to the river several times to sit on the banks and listen to the many song birds in the area. Fireflies put on light shows for us at night. We enjoyed our stay and we have already recommended the cabin to some friends.
