We absolutely loved our stay at the Walden. We found it cozy and comfortable. The Christmas decorations really made it feel like home. I wasn't super crazy about the steep driveway and drive up but hey it's the mountains. After a few trips I became a pro. and

Perfect Stay in the Smokey Mountains

My husband and I (and our two Labradors) loved our stay at the Walden. The cabin is in a great/secluded location. Nice open concept with comfortable amenities. Internet was very good (should anyone need to stay connected). Great community with the owners. You can tell they take a lot of pride in their cabin! Can’t wait to stay again.

Cute secluded getaway

The listed details were very accurate and we had a great time.. excellent communication with property owners during our stay…. Only negative which is no fault of property owner is nature didn’t provide any bears from the patio view:). I would definitely recommend and prepare for the steep driveway. Very manageable

Summer Getaway

We stayed here for a week. Really nice place in a very secluded nice area. The only thing I will say is that the hot tub had a funny smell and the bleach floater was empty. I’m guessing since it was July nobody really uses it. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Amazing!

This cabin is absolutely amazing! Private location, super comfortable beds, oversized fluffy towels (embroidered with the cabin’s name!), extra throw blankets, and even pet specific blankets, too - the hosts have nailed all the small details that are usually overlooked in vacation rentals. We loved staying here and so did the dog!

We enjoyed our stay at the Walden. Road was very steep and winding but thats to be expected. Wasnt much area directly around the cabin to walk our dog but they have a dog park a short drive away.

Family get away

We stayed at the Walden or a family getaway/attended a family wedding. It was a beautiful cabin and everything the description described. Tara was a wonderful host and answered all of our questions. We had a very late check-in due to traffic, and everything went smoothly when we got there. We even brought our dog with us, and there were even blankets and dog bowls. We had a wonderful time.

Why they chose this property

It's quiet and private. It's just enough for a family to get away from the grind and enjoy nature. Enjoy a very private hot tub or take the family down the mountain to the resort pool, or to the community Pavilion for disc golf, a putting green and even a dog park!

What makes this property unique

The Shagbark resort has a community pool open during the Summer months. It has a playground, dog park, disc golf course and putting green. Security is on sight 24/7 for total peace of mind!
