We had an awesome birthday vacation. The house was perfect on private land with beautiful views, and a walking path down to the river. Hiked Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park on my birthday and hiked a waterfall trail the following day. We enjoyed the hot tub at the end of the day. We absolutely loved our stay and had an amazing trip. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your property. Sherry & Mike

Great Location

The stay was very pleasant. Everything was very clean including the outdoor furniture! Be sure to bring your own bedding. Luray is about 15 minute drive with some shops, and a Walmart for last-minute items. Recommend and would visit again.

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.

Excellent Stay !!!

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.

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

My husband and I rented Walden for my birthday weekend. It was absolutely amazing! It was clean, quiet and so peaceful! We ate meals on the screened in porch, enjoyed the hot tub and spent a lot of time down at the river. The walk down to the river was beautiful! Love this place & can't wait to go back!!!

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. My little dog and I enjoyed the quiet and sitting on the screened in porch. The owner was very kind and helped me get set up with the new TV. We hope to return again soon!

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!
