Thoreau House is exactly the same size as Thoreau's cabin at Walden Pond: Ten by fifteen feet with eight foot high walls plus a woodshed. To make room for a functional sleeping loft the ceiling in the Fourpeaks version is dropped to seven feet and two windows are added in the loft. The woodshed is made into a full kitchen with room for a dining table and chairs. All modern construction with fully insulated walls for year-round use.
