Excellent Stay!

Everything about my stay was top notch. The property was the cleanest I ever had the pleasure of visiting. The owner got back to me immediately during the initial contact and made the coordination as simple as possible. I will definitely stay again when I am in the area.

Perfect Birthday Weekend

We have stayed with Kathy several times and her homes never disappoint. They are clean and welcoming in a beautiful rural setting. The fact that they are the closest rentals to our son and DIL is the icing on the cake. Kathy is excellent at communication and I know we will stay at Shepherd's Rest again.

Great place

My wife and I just love this place , we have stayed here several times already and will continue to come back between our trips to New York and Florida . The house is always clean and comfortable the host are the best . We got hit with a snow storm on our stay and they called us and told us we were welcome to stay the extra night for free so we didn’t have to travel in the snow . Thank you so much . Highly recommend.

Birthday getaway

Was not our 1st trip to this property. Once you go you’ll want to go back. Peaceful, relaxing around pond, deer watching, best of everything you need in kitchen. No street lights, no noise. We’ll go back!!!

Great stay

We needed an easy overnight stay on a trip to visit family with our dog. Check in and out was very simple. The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. Getting into town and to the highway was pretty easy. Had a great stay.

Supremely Quiet

This is my ideal-type of location: only a mile (via a paved road) from a highway and just a few miles away from Galax. This is a very rural neighborhood setting with a few houses up and down the road, which also sees very little traffic. All this results is a lot of peace and quiet; nighttime especially so. The house is new construction, clean, well-kept and had everything I needed. WiFi was excellent: fast and no interruptions. The outdoor area is huge, and you can take your dog for a little extended walk around the on-site pond. Kathy and Craig are courteous and happy to assist or chat via VRBO messaging. If you like staying in a quiet country setting with clean and comfortable lodging, this is it.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The information and photos are misleading. Finding the place was difficult; then once there access was via a steep gravel driveway that was unsafe to go down and would have been nearly impossible to climb up. As a result, I turned around and found other safer accommodations.

Pleasant!!

The bed was very comfortable and the sheets and pillows were luxurious. It was a pleasant overnight stay! It's conveniently located near Rex Theater where we enjoyed the Bluegrass concert last evening. We would happily stay here again for a quiet getaway

blue ridge parkway stay

There was a reservation glitch & we were moved to a similar location, which turned out alright. The owner was on site and very apologetic, even offering us an extra night (which we were unable to stay for). It's a very nice setting and our stay was comfortable. We would consider staying there again & maybe bringing another couple along to stay in the sister space.

Kick back and relax

Great property for chilling. Quiet, peaceful…easy to find and not too far from grocery, restaurants, and adventure. Very clean and comfortable. We would have loved to stay longer but our vacation itinerary didn’t allow. Hope to return in the future.

Nice cottage near Galax

We love staying in this cottage. It’s perfect for a couple to enjoy a weekend or even a lengthy visit. The house is furnished well and is decorated perfectly. The rooms are large and the porch is a perfect for relaxing and enjoying the country view. The location is convenient to all attractions in the area.

Lovely cabin

This property is perfect for a relaxing stay. The cabin is spotless, quiet, easy to find, and comfortable. It feels like you are miles away from everything but, in reality, it is only a short drive to restaurants and area attractions. I hope to return and stay longer.
