Description

Two-night Stay at what has been called "the most thoughtful tribute to Thoreau's Walden in the South." 


Inspired by Henry David Thoreau’s legendary 1845 cabin at walden pond, this studied replica was built over a 10-month period with careful attention to detail. Featured woods were locally harvested, the nails were smithed to 1850-era specs, recycled products were used as possible, and framed quotes and historical artifacts are aplenty to help our guests step back in time.


There is a single bed in the cabin and a queen-sized mattress in the garret.


Firewood and kindling are provided. Books from the period are on hand.


Hiking trails and pastures surround the cabin.
