My Brother and I stayed two weeks at the Whisper cabin, halfway between Wasilla and Palmer. We came for Alaska Baseball and Fishing. All Aspen and Pine trees around cabin with creek view from front porch. Beautiful! 2 Cow Moose (1 with twin calves) hanging around. Got great photo's. Creek closed to all Salmon fishing. Saw couple of 3' Kings (on their last legs) in the creek. We caught, cooked, and ate, pan sized Dolly Varden trout from the creek.
Not a 2 bedroom as advertised, but 1 bedroom (Queen) with open loft (2 singles) and "only" reached by Ladder. Be advised-the water out of the tap is yellowish and has a strong Sulfer smell. Pretty much cancels out the Jacuzzi bathtub! Even showering leaves a sulfer smell on you. Advise you to buy bottled water to drink. Owner said she would bring by fresh linens every 4-5 days. Never happened in 2 weeks. We washed our towels at laundermat. You will have to have a car to get to anything. Bring bug spray and spray exposed skin and clothing and will keep the mosquitoes away.
Even with the negatives, better than any Hotel or motel we saw in the area. We viewed it as roughing it and enjoyed it. If you can get by the water problem, you will enjoy yourself but Insist on fresh Linens!
