"Walden" Modern Cabin on 54 Riverfront Acres along Shenandoah River w/Hot Tub

”It is the marriage of the soul with Nature that makes the intellect fruitful, and gives birth to imagination.” Henry David Thoreau
Welcome to Walden! A place that combines the beauty of the natural world with the warmth of a modern cabin. Located on 50 acres or protected land along the historic Shenandoah River, Walden offers one of the most spectacular retreats in the valley.
Amenities include:
* 4 Person Hot Tub
* Wifi
* 10x26 covered porch
* Fully equipped kitchen
* 50" Smart TV w/ Chromecast
* Fireplace with Electric Logs
* Outdoor fire pit
* Charcoal Grill
* Pets Welcome ($25 per night pet fee)
* 150 yard walk to river along path through the field
* 7 Miles north of Luray, VA.
* 20 Minutes to Shenandoah National Park
* River access area with picnic table, chairs and fire pit
(The riverfront is solely for the use of our guests at Walden and Sundance, {VRBO#385043} Although Sundance and Walden share the riverfront, the two cabins are completely private from one anther.)
Walden is a place where you can understand what Thoreau meant when he wrote, “Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself the influences of each”

Had a wonderful stay at the Walden. Found the cabin to be neat and clean. Check in process was simple with lock box and code provided just prior to arrival. The location feels secluded although there are neighbors you can’t see them and rarely hear them. The private spot on the river is perfect for fishing, floating and wading. Can’t wait to go back.

Quiet and comfortable

Property was clean and well maintained. Plenty of room for the family to spread out. Walk down to the river was easy and path was mowed. Hot tub could use some maintenance, the jets did not seem to be working to full capacity, but it was clean and relaxing.

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.

Private & Relaxing

The main thing I want people to know is how private this property is. It is accurately listed, comfortable bed, nice shower, kitchen was equipped with almost everything (needed a potato masher and one or two more mixing bowls would be great), and the property itself is so soothing, quiet, and relaxing. Many properties say they are private, but when you get there you realize you are facing another house or someone’s backyard or business, but this place offers ultimate privacy.

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.
