Perfect fall retreat
Tucked away in the aspen, this spot is ideal for getting some solitude and leaf peeping time. Major pluses: the deck, the bears eating berries nearby, and a super cool griddle to make breakfast quesadillas.

Awesome setting, wonderful cabin, great time.
The cabin was well appointed and exceeded our expectations. The wildlife was abundant and amazing and made for a great setting. The hummingbirds were fun to watch and provided entertainment from early morning until late in the evening. Deb was a great host and a fun gal to visit with.

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!!

The cabin was immaculate and well supplied. A gorgeous setting in the fall colors. Saw fox, moose, coyotes, grouse, and antelope. So many WOWs at the colors and sunrises and sunsets from the awesome porch. Hope to return. Thank you, Deb.

Quiet and Relaxing
Whistle Pig cabin is located in a beautiful, quiet location. We spent a lot of time on the front deck. A moose walked right past the deck the first evening we were there! Also saw deer and prong horn on the road leading up to the cabin. We were fortunate to be there for the August super blue moon. Watching it come up over the mountains was magical. The cabin was spotless and well outfitted. Hiking trails in the Zerkils were a short distance away and we took advantage of the private trail on the property. Checkin was easy and communication with Deb was a breeze. We had a nice, in person conversation with her one evening and it was very informative about life in this remote area. We hope to return to this cabin again and again.

We stayed the weekend at the whistle pig retreat. The location was beautiful with lots of privacy. The home was very well furnished, including plenty of linens, kitchenware, and utensils. We especially enjoyed having the Blackstone grill! Deb is very friendly and informative. She provided information on area activities and was very responsive to requests through the Vrbo app and phone. We are planning our next trip now!

Beautiful Retreat!
We loved our stay at the Whistle Pig Retreat! If we had not already planned to visit nearby sites (Strawberry Hot Springs, etc.), we would have been quite content just sitting on the lovely & spacious front porch enjoying the abundance of hummingbirds & deer ~ along with the spectacular view in utter peace and tranquility. Deb was a warm and welcoming host! Can't wait to return!

Excellent Mountain Getaway
Beautiful location right against the mountains. Plenty for snowshoeing right out the front door. Can't even imagine how beautiful it must be in the fall surround by aspens. Plenty of wildlife like moose and foxes to spot from the porch. Host is very responsive and helpful! Would love to come back again!
