Solitude

This was our second visit to Walden and, as with the first time, it did not disappoint. We were there for 3 nights and had the property all to ourselves. It was very relaxing watching the river flow by slowly and the dogs had a blast playing in the field. Deer were everywhere in the morning and at dusk. We will be back again for sure.

Blissfully tranquil

This well-appointed cabin sits on a quiet spot right next to the Shenandoah River. We had planned to go hiking in the National Park but it was so nice at the cabin we never left except one time to get tasty tacos in Luray. We are planning a return!

Awesome property for visiting Shenandoah NP and Luray

We really enjoyed the privacy and the property met all of our expectations. Even though we didn't spend as much time at Walden as we would have liked, it was a great place to start and finish each day. We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen and the grill for preparing meals and we also enjoyed the restful evenings in the hot tub.

Perfect 40th Anniversary!

Walden was the perfect choice to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. My husband and I loved the peaceful environment, including the walk to the river and being greeted by deer each day. Hiking, Luray Caverns, and Skyline Drive were just a short drive from the cabin. There was plenty of firewood and the hot tub was clean and ready to go. This place has it all!

This is simply a lovely cabin, very comfortable with every little detail in place to make your stay enjoyable and easy. The windows and view are peaceful.

A Great Place to Get Away From It All

This property offered a most outstanding place for us to stay and get away from it all. High points include the view from the hot tub, the wildlife viewing on the property and the most excellent access to the river. We definitely have this on our list of places to stay again.
