A frame was perfect for a reset. Deb was great. 14 inches of snow the night before and the cabin was ready for me on time. Saw dear, elk, and moose. Great hiking even though they had deep snow. Looking forward to heading back in the Fall.Wrex W.
Deb was an incredible host. She was very communicative and had everything ready for us. Their property is stunning overlooking North Park. We will absolutely be back to stay with Deb and 22West
This is my second time at the Moose Cabin and there will likely be a third. The atmosphere, privacy and genuine care of the hostess is above and beyond. The views are amazing and the overall atmosphere of the cabin is so homey.
This is our second winter stay at Deb's A-frame cabin - just as delightful as the first! We greatly enjoy unplugging, warming stew on the wood burning stove, playing cards with the kiddos, snowshoeing and reading. The kids also spent ALL day Saturday building an enormous snow fort - they had a blast! We will be back again!
The property is surrounded by aspens that are changing colors as we shift from summer to winter. Beautiful A-Frame cabin, cozy and the perfect size for a couple and their dog. Enjoyed watching all the wildlife; mule deer, antelope, and fox. Hoping to see moose and elk next time ;). Highly recommend this rental if you’re looking for relaxation in the wild and need to get away from the craziness of life.
Warning; may cause total reset of heart, soul, and body.
Exactly what we look for. Very private. Great place to relax and enjoy a natural experience. Deb and her sons are very responsive. They genuinely wanted us to be comfortable. By the way, many generations (I think, six) in this beautiful valley. The wildlife rehab mission is admirable. Highly recommend.
Thank you, Deb, for a wonderful weekend at Moose Haven! The Snow was beautiful (even for native Coloradoans!) and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The kids slept upstairs on the fold-out couch (we brought our down, camping sleeping bags for them). Saturday the sun came out, and our family built snow forts, went snow shoeing, read books, and played cards before settling in for a hearty soup warmed atop the wood-burning stove. The out house situation was surprisingly very nice and clean! We will be back!

Disliked: Check-in, communication
Unhelpful / poor communicating host
Host is very unwilling to help unfortunate travel plans in any sort of way. Chose to pocket money rather than help, even though we hadn’t received any communication in 12 months.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 July 2023
Guest booked and admitted he just forgot to cancel the booking and so took the cabin off our reservation system so no one could book it. Guest received confirmation as everyone does.
I had a great second stay at one of the 22West properties, this time at Moose Haven. Accurate listing, easy check in, and a beautiful property. The hiking trails nearby are beautiful and private, fantastic stargazing, and a low key stay. It was quite cold overnight during my stay and the wood burning stove kept the cabin warm and toasty.
Our stay was exceptional! So many beautiful photo ops right outside the cabin and on the Routt national forrest trail at the end of the road. We saw chipmunks, moose, deer and fox! I loved cooking on the fire out side. And the stove onside kept us cozy and warm at night. I love moose haven 💙
The description of this cabin is excellent. It is remote but lovely. Deb and her sons are so quick to respond to needs and really lovely people. It is in such a beautiful spot. We loved being here.
Amazing place to enjoy nature. Feels like you are all on your own with beautiful views and wildlife walking through your front yard. Deb is fantastic and responds immediately to any needs you have. This was our second year going and we will definitely be back again.
The property is wonderful, you have a great view out over north park. There is tons of access to BLM land, state land, and national forest. There are several trails on 22 west’s property that connect to national forest. The only disturbances we had were welcome wildlife disturbances, as we saw moose, deer, foxes, and tons of hummingbirds. It is a very restful retreat to stay at, and being unplugged was a wonderful break from the busyness.
Such a cute remote getaway to take a break from city life. My husband and I took games and books for the cabin. There is cell service if needed. We will definitely be coming back!!
We absolutely loved staying here.
Deb and her family are a short distance away (and very helpful if we needed anything) we felt secluded in our own little space.
This was exactly what we were looking for, an escape from the craziness of life.
The sunsets and sunrises were breath taking and we loved seeing the wild life roam around the cabin.
Thanks for letting us bring our dogs they loved playing in the snow.
I cant say enough about this property and the views. Simply breathtaking. The cabin is clean, simple and did I mention the views.
Deb is great and soo friendly.. THANK YOU!
This A-Frame cabin had the perfect view of North Park with incredible sunrises and sunsets and wonderful opportunities for star gazing. We watched mule deer walk by every morning and listen to the coyotes at night. The cabin is a wonderful off the grid place to stay, yet with a nice shower a short walk away. Deb met us for check in and provided everything we needed. What a great host.

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.
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
We manage 130 acres of pristine, mountainous, property all within a short distance of many recreational opportunities. We offer remote, secluded, comfy cabins with a shower house.
