Utterly beautiful location.
Had so many plans for things to do in the area. Did none of them. Just took in the scenery from the porch and by the river. Well worth it.

fourth return to Walden
I first stayed at the Walden cabin in December 2020, and it was just magical in the snow. I returned in 2021, 2022 and now in 2023. I like the chill and quiet of December for each trip. My dog and I love our thrice-daily walks to the river, and the hot tub is so relaxing before bed, breathing in the 35 degree air while poaching in the 100 degree water. And the millions of stars to be seen, far from the city lights. The cabin is just perfect for me. Spotlessly clean and nicely laid out. The kitchen could use a few more Corningware-type casseroles for heating up leftovers, though. Derek was immediately responsive when I had trouble negotiating the TV settings or with a few other questions, as he has been in the past. Looking forward to hopefully returning in December 2024!

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.
