2 Bedroom Cabin in Stokes, Stokesdale

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. Water is tapped from an old whiskey barrel outside; 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, tea, and a fresh loaf of bread served with butter and jelly are delivered to the front porch for guests, as well as firewood, candles and lamp oil.
Access is provided to a dedicated bathroom with shower at Magnalia Homestead (www.magnalia.org) if desired. All rental proceeds benefit the work of Magnalia Homestead Foundation, a public 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
Guests may also enjoy:
Access to harvest fresh produce from Colonial-styled (22-box) community garden.
Access to 1850-styled Blacksmith Shoppe for cooking and meals.
Access to more than a mile of hiking/mountain biking trails -- bring your bike!
Access to Homestead shared bathroom amenities. Located in Stokesdale, NC near Belews Lake. Exact address provided for guests prior to arrival.
*** The “twin” bed below is a twin sized cot true to what Henry David Thoreau would have slept on. The “queen sized bed” up in the loft (accessed by a wooden ladder) is a queen sized mattress. Please view this as a “luxury camping” or “glamping” experience. :) ***

Summary: Me and my boyfriend stayed at this cabin for two nights for a weekend trip for the nascar race in martinsville. The cabin was very clean and organized and the property was beautiful. The hosts were so great and so helpful, they made sure we had everything we needed and more. We had access to a bathroom at the main house that was about a 3 min walk which was clean and kept up with. There was also a pickleball court which was very enjoyable as the weather was beautiful. Overall,we loved this place and had a great time sitting outside at the fire and saying hello to all of the animals on the property. 10/10 would recommend

Summary: We absolutely loved the cabin and the wonderful family that hosted us. The animals wandering around made the experience unforgettably amazing. I've never met such friendly turkeys, cute miniature horses, and adorable goats. The freshly made breakfast cooked up by our host was delicious, especially the Japanese cucumber picked fresh from the community garden. We will definitely be coming back!

Summary: The only thing warmer than the fire in Walden cabin is the host's hospitality. I was refreshed in a way that mere sleep could ever accomplish.

Summary: Great place. We had a hard time locating property, the vrbo confirmation did not include property address or contact info. We tracked it down since it was local

Summary: Not only did our 9 yr. old grandson get to cut wood, cook on an outdoor fire, sleep in a loft, he got to enjoy LOTS of animals and a community garden which are part of the owner's property. The host were incredibly warm & eager to help in every way. This experience was over & beyond.
