About this property
"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”
