Walden Wonderful

Walden was exactly as advertised. We loved the cozy atmosphere and creature comforts. Due to rainy weather we did not get to utilize a lot of the outdoor and riverside amenities but recognized them for being available had the weather cooperated. Derek was very responsive to any needs we had. We loved the screened porch and ate their and enjoyed drinks despite the weather. We are already planning a return visit.

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.

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.

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!

Lovely Getaway

This was a lovely place to getaway from it all for my wife and I to spend our anniversary of 8 years. When we stepped into the cabin we both agreed that everything looked better in person than what was shown in the pictures. We both love the seclusion that this cabin provided and especially enjoying nature around us as well as the hot tub in which we made regular use of. We appreciated the cookies left for us as a welcoming gift to the cabin. Enjoyed the walks to the river and just enjoyed our stay overall even on one rainy day. We look forward to coming back soon.

Beautiful Place

Instead of a 10/10 we would give a 20/10. It is more beautiful, more wide, more lovely than pictures can show. The home is clean, one level so easy to get around. Most places put in dim lights so it's hard to see when cooking etc., this has so many windows during the day you need no lights. At night they have great lighting. The area by the river is so private and park like setting. Just can't say enough about this beautiful place and the owner Derek who made things easier all the way around. Thank you.
