Walden...relax deliberately

Ever dream of having a secret cottage in the woods? A magical place surrounded by wildflowers, cooled by overhanging shade trees, entertained by songbirds, and warmed by a crackling fire?

Your place to walk, to read, to think, to get away to be yourself and to be romantic. This is Walden.

Play dominoes on the screened porch at night and listen for owls. Wake up to lazy morning rituals with the smell of coffee and bacon wafting up into the beamed pine ceilings. Take long walks then languish in a soaking tub.

Walk barefoot across smooth, bamboo floors enjoying the tree-dappled sunlight through abundant windows.

You'll be far away from everything, down a winding private drive in the woods. But you'll be close enough to the finest restaurants, golf courses, beaches, and vineyards of New Buffalo and Harbor Country.

Every season at Walden is a welcome surprise. From the first show of chartreuse green on a bright April morning, through summer days that seem to last forever, into the brilliant colors of autumn, and across the snowy trees and icy ponds of January.

Is this the secret cottage of your dreams? Yes! And don't tell anyone you're coming.

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

— Henry David Thoreau
