    My room was a bit musty and dusty. Bathroom was clean with good water pressure. Bed a bit uncomfortable and there seemed to be sand on sheets. Very homey feel with great shampoo, conditioner and pump soap.

    Location nice. Train a bit loud, but the back by the pond was wonderful. Great coffee. Wish there was also Decaf. Lovely kitchen and nice fresh fruit and bagels.Yummy choices and glad there was a protein option..

    It’s very close to a commuter rail line that runs most of the night and day. You will hear the train and the train whistle all night. Our room was very small (but we booked very late so took what we could get)

    Parking was convenient. Staff was welcoming The seating near the pond is beautiful and quiet (until the train comes by). The inn is quiet. Did not really hear any noise from the other guests. Morning breakfast was basic but satisfying.

    The older staircases, although part of their charm, can be tougher to climb for me, but nothing terrible.

    The staff was polite and friendly. The private yard overlooking the pond was relaxing. The continental breakfast had a variety of options. The suite was cleaned everyday. Everything was comfortable. Sipping coffee on the front porch with breakfast was very enjoyable.

    Location can be missed. Breakfast on the pond would be excellent: but that may need more staff.

    We got delayed to get there. The location is good ; but can be easily missed. The staff, Seda & property manager, Rona were excellent. The welcome cookies were very good. The breakfast was tasty & sumptuous. The backyard on the pond is very pretty! We stopped back on our way back to pick up my glass covers and manager, Rona let us go back in the backyard to let us take pictures! Both Seda & Rona real nice ladies!

    Though most rooms have their own bathrooms, please note there are a couple rooms that share a bathroom - be sure when you're booking you select a room that meets your requirements in that regard.

    Great location, the nearby beach is a pleasant walk and a quiter, less busy beach than adjacent areas. It's in a beautiful neighborhood, the garden and lake are lovely, and the overall "vibe" of the place is very mellow and laid back. If you're looking for a great B&B style accommodation in a historic building you'll like Walden on the Pond.

    Look above

    It was too expensive, the breakfast was not very good, it was not homemade, and this is something I always look forward to in a B&B. too close to railroads and you could hear the train often.

    The main bed is very wobbly and makes spring noises. The bedsheet are not cotton but a synthetic material. One bed is below the Window AC unit we couldn't use it. The second room where our child slept has no shitters or dark curtains. The door seems it could be open with a little push.

    Location is great, the garden with the pond is very pleasant, the breakfast was pleasant as well, the staff looked after us via text in a discreet and efficient manner.

    I was traveling by myself for a church event and found The Waldon the same day I was scheduled to leave NC. I absolutely loved my room, I was in the small guest house. To be honest, I could have booked another day just to enjoy the beautiful lake and relating outdoor spaces.
