We enjoyed our stay at this house. It was in extremely clean probably the cleanest house we ever stayed at. It had lots of activities that you can do and the swimming pool was nice since it was raining. Would recommend it to anyone.

The Walden Haus was a wonderful place to have a family get together. It easily accommodated four couples and a baby. Plenty of room to hang out and have family game nights. The location was perfect to accommodate the golfers with plenty of outdoor activities for non-golfers, too. We’re already thinking about staying again.

We had a great time celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary at the WaldenHaus. Everything from reserving through the website, checking in, communication throughout our stay and checking out was flawless. The property itself was great for our family of five adults and three kids. Many additional nice touches such as pancake mix, a bottle of wine, etc. went above and beyond what was expected. Would certainly stay here again if needed at Giants Ridge.

Great location, enjoyed the villa amenities from swimming pool, sauna & tennis court. Kayaking on the beautiful Wynn lake was memorable. Communication with Tiffany was great, I messaged her a few times during our stay and she would respond right back.

Stayed here for a few nights with 3 teenagers, parents in their 70s, and myself and husband. Was a great layout for everyone to have their own space. I can't believe how much fun was packed into what looks like a little cabin on the lake. Everything was perfect. The pancakes and popcorn were a big hit! Thanks for a great time!

Perfect for us

We enjoyed our stay at Walden Haus. The unit had everything we needed, comfortable beds and enough room for our group, which was 4 adults, 4 kids and a dog. Tiffany was responsive and flexible when we needed to make changes to our reservation. Would definitely stay there again!

Tiffany’s communication was excellent. The villa was very nicely stocked with seasonings, condiments in the refrigerator and everything that we needed for a ski stay. House was very clean. Plenty of space to chill after a long day on the slopes. Bed were very comfortable. Lines were clean and soft. If we are back in the area for a ski trip would definitely stay here again. 2 thumbs up!

Brief Stay

We enjoyed our 2 night stay. This was by far the best stocked rental home we have stayed in. It is clean, has comfortable beds, is big enough for everyone to have their own space and it was well stocked with everything you needed to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. The host is very kind and helpful! We would definitely stay here again if in the area.
