About this property
Whistle Pig Retreat@22 West Cabins 18 miles from Walden, 80 miles from Steamboat
Nestled in the aspen and pines this cabin is in a perfect location for getting away from it all and enjoying private trails from your cabin. 4wd preferred travel in winter. The Elk Run Trail is right out your door for hiking or biking in the summer and xc ski and snowshoe in the winter. The Marmots, will often make an appearance. Wildlife abounds, Moose, Deer, Elk, Pronghorn, Eagles, Hummingbirds, and many other critters live here. The Whistle Pig Retreat is nestled in the forest with a large deck overlooking it all. The home is cozy and warm. The kitchen is fully equipped. There is a queen bed and two foldout queen couches. The bathroom is fully furnished with a shower/tub, toilet, and his-and-hers sink. There is a washer and dryer. Unlimited WiFi provided. All this with plenty of recreational opportunities right here on our Elk Run Trail. Routt National Forest and Mount Zirkel Wilderness with 100's of miles of trails and over 70 lakes is just up the road if you want to drive or you can hike from the cabin on the property. 22 West Cabins offers hiking or biking in the summer and xc ski and snowshoe in the winter on our Elk Run Trail. In the summer check out our trail dubbed "Narnia" which takes you to where two waterfalls merge on the Roaring Ditch from May until about the first week of July. We offer sledding, skiing and snowshoeing in the winter on packed trails. The summer drive over Buffalo Pass to Steamboat Springs is beautiful. We live here and are available if you need anything. You will love the seclusion where your only neighbors are a diverse selection of forest critters. Please consider mountain conditions in the winter. Travel from Walden can be difficult in a snow storm so check your weather. Please call for more details. From Walden take 12 West approximately 4 miles to the bottom of the hill. Stay straight which puts you on 18 West. You will go over the Platte River. In approximately 2 miles you will veer left at the Y on the road where the pavement ends. The cabin is about 7 miles from this point. Stay on 22 West and look to the west and you may see the eagle flight cage. At the row of mailboxes go right. I am 1 1/2 miles on the right. The GPS coordinates are 40 degrees 39' 21"N by 106 degrees 33' 54"W From Walden take 12 West to the bottom of Platte Hill where you will continue straight on CR 18. You will cross the Platte River and in a couple of miles the pavement ends at a Y. Go left and watch your odometer as we are 7 miles from this point. Continue on 22 West to a row of mailboxes. At the mailboxes veer right and we are about a mile. You will see the Eagle Flight House. We will meet you upon your arrival. Before checkin and after checkout separate parking is provided for recreational use. We are adjacent to Routt National Forest and the Zirkel Wilderness. Many species of wildlife call this home, moose, deer, elk, pronghorn, wolf, coyote, fox, raccoon, bobcat and many species of bird share this land so please keep your furry companions close..

About the host
Hosted by Deb McLachlan
We are 22 West. Eli and Pat are 6th generation and Deb is 5th from a long line of Irish immigrants and brave, stubborn, hard working ranchers. Our land was generously gifted from the kindest, hardest little working woman, Sarah Iris Irvine, whose desire was to keep this land in our family at a huge sacrifice to her.
Our rentals also help to support North Park Wildlife Rehabilitation. We care for injured and orphaned wildlife in Jackson, Routt and Grand counties.
