A Peaceful Retreat
You are welcome to enjoy the outside patio and our waterfall pond. We have supplied comfy loveseat-style sofas and tables for you to relax in. Don’t hesitate to walk over to our pond. We tend to have quite a bit of wildlife in the back, don’t be surprised to see fox, deer, moose, coyotes, owls and of course two overly friendly standard poodles.
Our land consists of 30 acres, mostly treed, and we are located on the north side of the property. You can go out our front gate and directly across the road to walk in the trees or behind the house. We would be happy to show you around if you like!

Our History - Why "Whisper Whim"?
My Grandfather was Tiny Holden (F.M Holden). “Tiny” was a very well known and respected owner, breeder, trainer of some of the finest horses to ever run in Canada. We wanted to honor him and one of his filly’s. Whisper Whim was one of the best two-year-olds in the country and she even graced the front cover of the Canadian Horseman Magazine back in 1963.
“Winny” ran only 7 races but won every one of them… she didn’t know how to lose! Her photos are on the wall along with a winning plate. The story goes that Grandpa gave her to my Grandma and she decided that Whisper should retire! We will never know what she could have done in the rest of her career, but she did live a long happy life on the family property.
My grandparents purchased 800 acres back in July 1926 and some of us are lucky to still be here and call it home. The land you will enjoy when staying with us has a long and storied history and now we are overjoyed to share it with you.

Whisper Whim is a beautiful property nestled in a very peaceful subdivision just south west of Calgary. Living area is warm and cozy with plenty room to relax. Also you will get a kick out of their silent “roomba” machine that randomly roams the outdoor area cutting the grass.
Our hosts were wonderful, very friendly and well informed about the area, never intrusive. We loved the quick access to Calgary and Okotoks. We also visited near by Granary Road Farmers Market and Spruce Meadows. All in all we very much enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to come back to Whisper Whim.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Whisper Whim and it was an absolute dream!
From the moment we stepped foot onto the property, we were transported to a world of tranquility and beauty. Waking up to the sight of rolling hills and the distant sound of a babbling brook was a memory I'll cherish forever.
