Lovely cabin!!
The check in about process was super simple. We enjoyed how secluded the cabin was and would love to check it out during another season. We saw a beautiful fox, tons of antelope, and we believe we saw a wolf on the way to the property one day! I would definitely come again!

Wonderful!
Very cozy cabin in a beautiful setting! We especially loved the large front porch and view. There is a good amount of privacy and distance from other cabins. Host was responsive and accommodating. Definitely would stay again. We did not spot any wildlife, but maybe next time. The only improvement we could think of would be a slightly better-equipped kitchen, particularly knives and cutting boards.

What a great little hidden gem off the beaten path!! Really enjoyed the area and loved that there was a hiking trail on the property with great views. Would love to go back in early fall to see the beautiful colors with all those aspens. Thanx Deb for the wonderful weekend in your cozy little cabin!!

About the host

Hosted by Deb McLachlan

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

22 West is located 18 miles southwest of Walden, CO along the Park Range, Routt National Forest and the Zirkel Wilderness. Deb and her mom Sarah Iris were both born here in the old homestead which can be seen from the cabin. This is home, where our roots run deep.

What makes this property unique

Routt National Forest and the Zirkel Wilderness are a short distance away.
