Inspired by Henry David Thoreau's legendary 1845 cabin at Walden Pond, this studied replica was built over 10 months with careful attention to detail, based on communications with the museum curators at Walden Pond in Massachusetts. The cabin's beautiful mix of woods were locally harvested, the nails were blacksmithed to 1850-era specs. Recycled products were used as possible; and historical artifacts, including Thoreau's personal library while he was at Walden, help visitors step back in time. An inside root cellar and front porch cooler provide food storage options.Hiking trails, mountain bikes, axes and knives, kayaks and outdoor games are all provided. Coffee or tea are delivered to the front porch for guests, as well as firewood, fatwood fire starter sticks, candles and lamp oil.
