Deb was fantastic! She made sure we knew where we were going as we arrived, provided snow shoes and directions on where to go. We ended up needing a baking dish which she promptly brought to us. We had most everything utensil wise. Really the only thing that needed improvement was the mattress. It was extremely uncomfortable so we opted to stay on the couches instead. The cabin was very clean when we arrived. We loved that our stay contributed to animal conservation.

What a wonderful property, host and overall experience! This was our 39th anniversary and Deb made it one to remember. Thank you so much and I would recommend this to anyone that wants to get away from the hustle and bustle for a few days!

We have made numerous trips to Walden over the past 35 years so we are very familiar with the area and enjoy the wildness of the region.The Whistle Pig is nice lodging with good amenities and is clean. If you are looking for an authentic cabin, this is a modular with cabin-looking siding. The interior layout is a bit clunky, and the table-island is very awkward as the chairs provided are too short and the entire island is too big for the kitchen space. The check-in process was a little rough since our host didn't communicate via cell, and there was no service for internet on the county road we were on for us to check the VRBO messages she sent. When we arrived (once we got our signals straightened out) we had to wait as she headed up to give us the rundown of the wildlife dangers (which is fine, but as outdoorspeople we are very familiar with the area and the cautions, but we sat through the educational spiel). I made the mistake of asking how we would lock the door as we were not going to be in the cabin much, and we were informed not to bother, the host had a key in a basket somewhere, and that we were at the end of a dirt road and not to worry. Not too comfortable leaving doors unlocked with our belongings inside but not a lot we could do there.This area of Walden is less enjoyable as there is less wildlife than closer around Walden and around Gould. Would not stay again.
