The Getaway Plan

On a peaceful hillside nestled away in a forest on Prince Edward Island lies a hidden paradise, Walden Cabin. It was thoughtfully named by its owner, Stuart Hickox, who was inspired by writings from Henry David Thoreau. Having a cabin tucked away in the woods is something most people can only dream about. For Hickox, it is a peaceful sanctuary that nourishes his soul. A secluded retreat where he finds joy and balance connecting with the outdoors, pursuing creative endeavors and working the land while making lasting memories with his family and friends. The cabin, planned and conceived with design ideas by Hickox, reflects its natural surroundings with simplicity and rustic charm, something that is important to Hickox. The woodsy cabin features pine plank floors, pine wainscotting details, vaulted pine ceilings, beams made of tree trunks, reproduction period lighting and oversized windows that let in a maximum of light. Character fills the cabin with antiques, custom furniture, personal mementos, and family memorabilia that Hickox has collected and curated over the years.
